It is still worth insuring against theft, loss and accidental damage, especially screen breakage. Indicative premiums for a phone at this value tend to fall around R55 to R120 a month, depending on excess and cover level. Those figures are indicative only and not a quote, so compare a few insurers to find what your A55 really costs to cover.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Galaxy A55 insurance cost?

Indicative premiums for a phone at this value often sit around R55 to R120 a month, lower than flagship cover because the replacement cost is smaller. Your real price depends on the insurer, excess and cover level. This is indicative only and not a quote, so compare a few insurers to see your actual monthly figure for the A55.

Is a mid-range phone like the A55 worth insuring?

It can be. While cheaper to replace than a flagship, the A55 still costs enough that theft or a shattered screen would be a real expense for many owners. Cover spreads that risk into a small premium. Weigh an indicative premium against the phone's value and your comfort with risk before deciding.

Does A55 cover include accidental screen damage?

Accidental damage cover generally includes a cracked screen, subject to your excess and any limit. On a mid-range phone the repair is cheaper than a flagship's, so it is worth checking that the excess is not close to the repair cost. Compare policies to make sure screen damage is genuinely included.
