Where are my texts (and other items) on my new phone?

Hello,

My Note 4 suddenly did not turn on (hard brick). I received a new device but had two worries (could not reset the old device, could not transfer from it).

Many of my apps autoloaded on the new Note (thanks Android). Pictures, videos, recordings, and screenshots on internal memory were gone and so were old text messages and voicemails. Is there no chance Android/Google stored this automatically somewhere? How do I check?

Why are pending text messages or voicemails not shown? How would I know who tried to contact me in the weeks that the old phone is broken?

In the future I'll save everything (pictures etc...) to the external SD. Can I do daily auto-backups with SMS Backup & Restore for texts? What about voicemails? Is there no way to prevent texts in transit from getting deleted - if my phone doesn't work how can I save texts I've never seen or read??

Thank you.
