Amazing Reuse of Old Phones
Are you planning to buy a new smartphone with premium looks, latest operating system and a high-resolution camera? But wait! What about your existing phone that works perfectly?
Apart from the fact that you’d get scrap value it, we also tend to attach emotional value to our devices. After all, it’s our personal manager, wallet and entertainment system all rolled into one very handy device.
What if we told you there’s a way you could keep it and do some amazing things with it? Here’s what you can do with your old handset:
Alarm Clock: You can use your old handset as your primary alarm clock. Download an alarm clock app such as ‘Timely’. Buy a phone dock and turn your handset into a fancy nightstand clock.
Media Player: Never have enough space for your files and songs on one device? Download all your favourite songs onto your old smartphone. You can also use your old smartphone as a personal note-taker/manager by getting customised information such as weather and your to-do lists.
Gaming Device: You cannot ignore the fact that playing games on your device drains the battery quickly. Using your old device only for games is a smart choice. It will conserve battery on your new phone as well as give you an exclusive gaming device! Win-win!
Digital Photo Frame: Your old smartphone can also double up as an excellent back up device. Those exclusive selfies and family photos which you’d rather not share through very vulnerable cloud storage can be transferred to your old handset. You can also add all your favourite images and turn your old handset into a digital photo frame with a set timer and leave it on the mantle for all to see!
Universal Remote: Many of you might be surprised on how intelligently your smartphone can also work as a budget-friendly touchscreen remote. However, it can work as a budget-friendly universal remote for your gadgets with some handy apps. All Smart TVs support remote apps that are downloadable on your iOS or Android devices.
GPS Navigator: Your old smartphone can be a smart GPS navigator. You often need help with directions and your phone might not always be able to take the load of Maps along with other apps. Make sure you download the latest version of Google Maps on your old device.
