    'Died' - what does this mean?
    Insurance normally covers accidents - damage, lost, theft.
    Against 'death' you possibly need some sort of extended warranty if such thing exists.

    Insurance wouldn't have paid out anything for not being able to take photos.

    Seriously?
    You could have just nipped along to Argos or Boots or Wilkos or somewhere else, and picked up a disposable camera for far less than your excess would probably have been on the insurance policy.

    Are you sure it's not already covered under your home contents policy?
    But a phone that 'dies' isn't covered anyway-that's wear and tear.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I assume this is the same Honor Lite we are talking about on another thread?
