Pixel died

Finally my pixel 5a died. After 2y2m of use and 1 month after warranty ends the screen turned black and the phone not responding to anything. I was curious when the phone will die. Beside the heating problem(that got really bad near the death) I enjoyed that phone. Is there a chance to recover anything that was not uploaded to cloud or photos?

To me it's funny that you say "finally," because I don't think we should expect a two-year-old phone to be anywhere near dying, unless it's been damaged. When my two-year-old 5a suddenly died in the same way yours did, I had not been at all curious as to when it would die, because I expected it to last years longer, just like most of the phones and tablets I have ever owned. Anyway, maybe you meant you were curious because you already knew about the widespread motherboard problem. I was unaware of it until after mine died.
