If your contacts are stored in iCloud, then the contacts are available to all devices.


If the device was backed up to a local Mac or Windows system, or to iCloud, restore the backup to the new device.


If there were contacts or other data stored locally on a now-failed device, and without available backups, there are no good options.


A repair might be possible while preserving the data, depending on details of the failure.
