Won't they be saved to your google drive?

Copy the contacts from your broken phone to your computer, saving them as a vCard file:

Then import them to your new phone:

1.Did you use some backup apps? If you do, you can just download the same app and log in and recover your contacts to your new phone.
2.If you do not have any backup, I am afraid you have to download use your computer to download some third party software to help you like easeus mobisaver for android, this is an easy to use and free software, which helps me recover my contacts once. But this need connect your old phone to the computer. You can also use its software to recover data from your memory card.(I do not remember exactly the operating steps, you can visit easeus official site to learn them).
Hope you can get your contacts back,.
