Yes, data recovery from a wet smartphone is possible in most cases, provided you act quickly and correctly. Fresh water is less destructive than salt or chlorinated water, but in all cases, the intervention time is critical.
The first rule is to not turn on the phone after immersion — a short circuit can irreparably damage the memory chips (eMMC or UFS). Remove the battery if possible, do not plug in a charger, and bring the device to a specialized laboratory as soon as possible.
In the laboratory, our technicians completely disassemble the device, ultrasonically clean the components, and directly extract the data from the memory chip. The success rate exceeds 80% when the smartphone reaches us within 24 to 48 hours following the water damage.
