Insurance or Upgrade?

[rabernet]

I have a Galaxy Note 4 Edge with the Wireless Insurance Plan with Asurion. Today my screen cracked diagonally. I thought that my upgrade eligibility wasn't going to be until December, but found that I'm actually eligible now. I have enjoyed the Note series, but I am aware of the problems with the Note 7, and that they are no longer selling it.

Would Asurion tell me what phone they would send as a replacement for the Note 4 Edge? Would it be worth it to pay the $200 deductible for a replacement phone, and wait to upgrade later?

If I were to decide to upgrade now, I doubt I would be offered any trade in on the Note 4 Edge, becaue of the cracked screen, and I haven't been keeping up with what phones are highly regarded in Verizon's current offerings to know if I should just upgrade or wait. No interest in an iPhone.

Open to all opinions!

Addition would tell you what phone they are replacing it with.

I bought a moto z play and they did offer me$300 for a cracked screen g4. But not all devices will qualify.

Personally I think that the best options are the s7 and s7 edge and pixel.

Thank you for your reply! But I'm not following what you mean by addition will tell me what phone they would replace with?

Asurion would tell you what phone they would offer as a replacement through insurance. You can decide whether it would be worth it or not to play the deductible then

I'm guessing you mean Asurion for Addition? In any case, I did decide to go with the insurance claim, they told me that they did still have the Note 4 Edge in stock for replacement. Wasn't excited for any of the current phones, and decided to save my upgrade for when another phone comes along that I absolutely MUST have. And I have loved my Note 4 Edge experience. Saves me from buying a bunch of accessories as well too.
