Is there any way to decrypt my sd card if I don't have the phone I encrypted it on?

[Android Central Question]

My galaxy s 8 was damaged by water and it won't turn on and the sd card inside it was encrypted. I put it in my new phone which is also a galaxy s 8 and it says that I need the original phone to decrypt the sd card. The problem is that I don't have the old phone because its broke. Is there any way I can still decrypt it? By the way the sd card is a sandisk 2gb micro sd.

In short - no.

The "key" to decrypt the card was on the old phone. In the future, have more than one copy of whatever is on that card...
