Don't throw away your old gadget. There are other useful tasks for him.

 Instead of flinging away or selling your old smartphone, you can repurpose your device into something useful, like a dash cam or remote control to control all your home appliances. About how you can provide an unnecessary mobile gadget with a second life with the help of not the most obvious functions and methods of use - in the material "Gazeta.Ru". bacobolts

Video recorder

A video recorder is one of the most important gadgets of every car owner. But do not rush if there is a need to buy a DVR - perhaps there will be a free analogue in the form of an unnecessary smartphone.

Such non-standard use of the smartphone can be especially useful if the gadget has a wide-angle camera that would capture more details than when shooting with the main camera.  techsmartinfo

In order to use an old phone as a DVR, it is enough to buy a mount, a cigarette lighter charger, if the car does not have a USB connector, and a wire. You can take pictures in the standard Camera application or install a special program from  Google Play. In such applications, there are many modes, including detecting the speed of movement and collisions, automatic shooting in special scenarios, or deleting old records in order to free up space in the device's memory.  futuretechexpert

Navigator

An old phone can also be a great navigator in a car or bicycle. This does not require a SIM card with the Internet or Wi-Fi distribution from the main smartphone. It is enough to install the necessary application, for example, "Yandex.Maps" or "2GIS" and download a city map to use navigation autonomously.  lifebloombeauty

All you need to invest in is a stable steering wheel or windshield mount and a car cigarette lighter charger with USB cable.

Remote control

For unknown reasons, modern smartphones have become less likely to be equipped with an infrared port, while in older smartphones it was more common. If you have a gadget with an infrared port at home, as well as a variety of household appliances, including a TV, smart or TV set-top box, air conditioner, fan, projector and DVD player, you can configure your smartphone as a multifunctional remote control.

Many smartphones have built-in utilities to control home appliances, but if they are not there, then you can download a special application and turn an outdated smartphone into a useful gadget.

After setting up, you can add an unlimited number of equipment to the program and control it directly from your smartphone. If there is really a lot of equipment at home, this will not only save money on changing batteries, but also make it easier to operate from several remotes.  technologywebdesign

Media center

An old smartphone can similarly be used as a home media center. To do this, just connect it to a wired or wireless speaker and install Spotify, Apple Music or Yandex.Music.

In addition to the speaker, you can purchase a special docking station on which an infrequently used gadget would be located and charged at the same time. A bundle of a smartphone, a stand and speakers is a must-have for any party.  techbizcenter
