If your phone is too old to trade in, or you’re looking to save some money on a webcam or Google Home, or you just want to tinker, there are some really neat ways to repurpose your old device and turn it into your real want to use something. Let’s take a look below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn your old Android into a webcam
Now is a great time to turn your old phone<\/a><\/strong> into a webcam. There are many free apps you can use to improve the quality of your video chat during quarantine. Keep in mind that even an old phone’s main camera may be better than a laptop’s built-in webcam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convert your old Android to a Nintendo Game Boy
When you turn your Android into a Nintendo Game Boy, you can play video games on the go. All you need is a compatible Android phone and a Hyperkin Smartboy mobile device to get started. In order to play games, you need to buy Game Boy cartridges. However, if you don’t have a retro cartridge, you can also play the Game Boy Advance app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store photos on your old phone
Images take up a lot of storage space on your device, so store them on your old phone. You can take photos with your new device and send them to your old phone to free up space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn your Android phone into a Google Home
Reusing your Android phone as a Google Home smart speaker is easy, no app download required. Make sure your phone is updated to the latest Android OS so you can “OK, Google”. Next, you need to find a Bluetooth speaker to pair with your phone. Make sure both devices remain plugged in and turned on at all times. You can give Google an order right away. The best part is that you don’t have to spend $129 on Google Home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Android can double as a home security camera
Turn your old phone<\/a><\/strong> into a home security camera and feel more secure. Download a security camera app to get started. Check your house while you work to make sure everything is fine. When you’re at home, set it up outside to see who’s knocking on your door or to check for any suspicious activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn your Android into a wireless mouse
This can be annoying when your wireless mouse dies on you without warning. A backup will help, and you can turn your phone into a mouse in no time. To do this, you need to download an app, such as Remote Mouse. Once you have the app, connect your phone and desktop to the same Wi-Fi network and say goodbye to the old mouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use your old phone as a music player
Free up storage space on your new phone by using your old phone as a media player. Since you have a new phone, you can wipe all data on your old phone. You can add as many songs as your old phone allows without worrying about how much storage you’re using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
