Water damaged phone

I had an accident where I put my phone to the washing machine for around 10 minutes. By mistake I turned it on when it was still wet and now it won't turn on. Is there any chance of recovering pictures without icloud? That's all I need.

If it is dried out for a few days or so and doesn't work, and absent spending on a repair and maybe that repair then works or maybe the repair doesn't, nope.

Backups have to happen before the dunk/drop/theft/loss, too.
