I recently broke my Android A13 phone and bought a new different brand phone. Most of my important data was saved directly on the broken phone instead of the memory card. Is there any possibility of recovering this data, and if so, what steps should I take?

If it helps, I've had to get screens fixed on old phones just to access my data. It's a hassle, but sometimes necessary! Just stay optimistic; hopefully, you'll be able to retrieve everything you need!
You might want to consider taking your broken phone to a repair shop. They can sometimes retrieve the data for you, and given that it's already broken, you can't really make things worse. Just be careful if you try to handle it yourself; it could be tricky if you're not experienced.
It really depends on your situation. If you had enabled ADB before the phone broke, there might be a chance to use MTP to access your files. However, if you didn't set that up beforehand, your options could be limited. If your data is on a removable SD card, you're in luck—just take that out and you can access it directly on your PC. Otherwise, a repair shop might be your best bet for recovering anything stored on the phone itself.
You could look into a data recovery service. They can often desolder the memory chip and extract data that way, but it might get a bit technical and pricey. It sounds like you're already on the right track by contacting repair shops to see what they can offer.
