Top 5: Anywhere in your home, there’s probably a drawer or box full of outdated cords that you just can’t seem to part with, along with at least one outdated phone. Since you spent a good amount of money on it, it’s difficult to part with it. Even if they are already outdated, cell phones are expensive and hold sentimental value from years of texting, memes, and mobile gaming. In this article, we will tell you 5 ways you can reuse your old smartphone and not toss it in the bin.
Top 5 ways you can reuse your old Android smartphone
Security Camera
Make a home security camera out of an old phone that you no longer need. On both your old and new devices, download a security camera app, then put the old phone where it is needed. Just make sure the device has power. Next, see the feed from your previous device by logging in with your current smartphone.
Mobile Gaming System
Convert any extra smartphone you may have into a dedicated gaming system. There are several mobile games available for download on iPhone, Android, Apple Arcade, and even Netflix, so you don’t have to worry about storage space. A Wi-Fi connection is all that’s required.
Wireless Webcam
Consider using an outdated smartphone if your laptop isn’t working properly or if your desktop computer doesn’t have a webcam. Phones may be used as webcams on computers with free software such as DroidCam and EpocCam. Downloading the programme to your computer and phone and connecting them together is all that is required.
Backup TV Remote
Although the majority of media streaming devices have their own remote controls, they are typically tiny and easily misplaced. It is likely that you may misplace your remote control at some point if you own an Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV Stick, or Roku. Use your phone instead of purchasing a new one.
Give It to the Kids
Repurpose your old phone for your child if you’re not quite ready to buy them a separate phone. When the phone is secure, connect it to Wi-Fi so your kids can play games, share and receive photos, browse the internet, download apps, and make calls. Just make sure your screen protector and case are on.
