How to get data moved out of a ( basically ) dead Huawei P6 (infosec.pub)

I'm trying to rescue data from an old Huawei Ascend P6 with a broken screen, is there a way to get access to the data and clone it, without screen interaction?

find the storage module in the phone, hook it to a PC and extract its data

I thought this would be one of the potential solutions, for it because the screen is just gone, and they're scarce... But like you said they have to be really good

I hope it's not encrypted

It runs a very outdated android, I'm not sure about the state of encryption in such devices 🤷‍♂️

Came with Android 4.2, Android 6 was the first to ship storage encryption by default.

So yes, just hook it up to a laptop and use the MTP connection?

File explorer detects an empty drive, and asks me to insert a drive... Screen interaction is required with this one I guess

In theory it should be hackable as hell.
