How to copy everything from one phone to anohter and make it just the same

Hi! I recently broke the lcd of my phone and now I'm buying a new one..Now I wanted to know if there is any way by which I can copy all the data,apps, settings,contacts ,messages and stuff to my new phone and make it just a ditto of the old one..as a matter of fact,I'm buying the same model again..But please note that the lcd is broken and nothing is visible.So i can barely operate the phone and do anything on it like getting to root it or backup.My phone is Xiaomi Redmi 2s btw..thanks in advance!

You'd have to temporarily get a screen plugged into the phone with the broken one (some shops will do that for a fee to let you back up), back the phone up (see Backing up an Android Device), then restore the backup to the new phone.

This is why a phone should always be kept backed up.
