I broke my phone during the lockdown so was unable to get it repaired so my old phone came in clutch. Never sell old devices they wille eventually be helpful someday for something. Pro tip: when your annoying siblings ask for your phone to play games, you can give them your old phone.
@Odin Son and even if the support runs out, oneplus have great root support 2, i used the oneplus 3t but recently upgraded to the realme 6 pro, the oneplus was awesome but i figured im gonna get a new phone, the realme's pretty good 2

I always recycle mine as mp3 players, I use my UA-cam premium to sign in for ad free music and then give them to my daughter, as she often forgets to charge hers, so they are good back ups. My old Ipod is on my dock plugged into a speaker for dinner music. My old phone is used for my 4K camera and video. My wife's old phone's battery exploded so... it's not doing too well.
I personally use old phone as secondary screen to check colour of my edits as my laptop screen is not that colour accurate but phone is more often then not. I use space desk for that.
I don't know why but there is something about the demeanor of this man that convinced me this channel had good cvontect immediately. Not even 10 seconds after the video had started I had already subbed. Mamma mia! Hopefuly this is good! UPDATE: I was not dissapointed.
TBH the only really useful ones here are the WiFi and camers things. The reason you need a new phone in the first place is usually because something is broken, and, let's face it, it is most typically the screen. Using some computer software you can actually control your phone with your mouse and PC display, and in so doing install and setup whatever apps you want to run without personal interference.
I use my old Phone only when i go to a new place as a GPS-Device for my Bicycle, the silicon-case as a holder and a data-sim that share my data volume.
I had a good Lenovo phone lying around so I sold it and everyone in my family have phones which r not more then an year old so the only old android phone we have left is Panasonic p81 from 2014
Great information. My observation is using mobile phone as dash cam is not advisable as it would heat up because of windshield. I will not advise keeping the fully charged mobile in the car glove box as leaving it in a high temperature area it would cause fire.
I use my old POCO F1 as an Emby Media Center. It's like my own streaming service. Storage is limited indeed but it covers all shows that netflix-prime doesn't have. Plus its more power efficient than setting up a PC as one.
Alfred Home security camera is an awesome app to reuse old cell phones as security cameras. Easy setup and amazing controls on newer phones with an optional $30/yr premium subscription. I am currently running six old phones as security cameras.
i will use it as a map system. if you have old car without navigation this comes handy. you just need to download area of map you wanna download and you have it offline for free
I always take more photos and 4K videos, because of that even my internal storage is 256GB, and my SD Card us 256GB, I don't have space🤣 within 15days it gets full 🤣 so I use my secondary phone as my storage device as well as for my backup phone if my primary phone goes out of charge!
I use My Father's Very Old Lenovo A6000+(Considering here as The Old Device) to listen to music on Spotify and keep my study notes...this is the phone i use whie studying coz no distraction from Social Media here :D

Hi, I have a question for you, is it possible to remote to an old smartphone, use it's camera to view something AND be able to run an application to monitor something. For example, we have some GSM/ 3G boosters installed, we are unable to monitor them and they regularly fail. A visual inspection, why we need the camera, can provide some detail as to its current state. But if all lights are on, it can still fail to transmit, hence the app to see power levels from the device. Is it possible, or are we looking at a MicroProcessor? Cheers

I once had a friend dropping his only phone into a bucket full of water. Had a windows phone, wasn't this useful, but it did save his back given he lives in different state away from parents. So, backup phones aren't that bad. And with bonus spare uses, they're better.
