I can't binge on my phone that long. I don't know about anyone else, but my legs go numb! Then I'm staggering out, limping on two sleeping legs, like a drunken vagrant.
BTW every bathroom, especially the guest bathroom, should have one of these books. Funny and informative!

I would not get your hopes up too much that you'll be able to recover those photos and videos from that phone. Perhaps this pic will help you visualize the situation:
The NAND flash, the internal storage chip where all your data is (was) stored, is indeed a chip soldered directly onto the logic board (upper right). It's not in a socket that you could just remove. So even if you opt to send this damaged S20 out to be repaired, depending on just how damaged this phone is, it's not going to be simple as just popping the internal storage chip out and plugging it into a spare S20 to recover your data. Even extracting the motherboard from a badly damaged phone so it's actually intact could involve a lot of billable hours so be sure to get an estimate in writing first. If you want to try this yourself, the iFixit site has a nice step-by-step guide for you to follow:

If this phone wasn't damaged too badly and the mobo is intact, don't forget that you'll still need to buy a spare S20 to cannibalize when you put your extracted logic board into it.
But offhand I'd suggest consider those photos/videos to be lost and move forward. Take this to be learning experience and be sure to set up an automatic and comprehensive backup solution. Backups are important. Samsung has a Smart Switch utility that includes a handy backup/restore feature :
