Deleted Android Data

As with the new iPhones your new Android when data such as photos and contacts are deleted, in most cases due to encryption your data is lost forever.

One of the ways deleted data can be retrieved is by actually skipping the phone itself and heading for backups. Many phones automatically back up to the user’s computer or to the cloud. It can be easier to extract the data from the backup than the phone. Obviously the level of success depends on how recently the phone was backed up and the service used to store the files.
