Most of us and if the salary allows us every two years is normal that changed by another smartphone more updated with more functions, the era of electronics leaves almost useless to technological devices and smartphones are not the exception, some stores accept the old model and for a difference of money give you a new one, other brands inevitably you have to buy them, sometimes we keep several phones that over time become more obsolete, but what would happen if instead of cheating our smartphones we give a utility to continue working? Today I bring you a proposal to recycle, 10 ways to recycle your old Android.
1 Video game console
Those who have had at some point in their lives a GameBoy or the series that relieved him or PSP, sure miss or who knows if they still play today, today on smartphones we can play our games referred to without buying a console, these have almost disappeared product of the advance in mobile technology, the idea is that you can download applications like MegaN64, Myboy, and DraStic DS Emulator2 and turn your old Android into a very old school console you can play 8bit or 32-bit games, you can connect the console to the TV with Google Chromecast and together with a Bluetooth enabled game controller you can relive the experience of playing classic games.
2 Baby Monitor
Another simple way to give a new utility to your smartphone is turning it into a monitor for babies, baby monitors work with a signal similar to our phones which allows you to keep control over your baby in those moments that are not near, you can download an application by the app store to have the same result. These applications in many cases even surpass traditional baby monitors such as you can follow your baby's dream or you can place a recording of your own voice for the baby to hear it or send some text messages to alert about any irregularity. The applications that recommend you are Baby Monitor and Dormi
3 GPS navigation system
If you're used to traveling often for pleasure or for work if your car doesn't have GPS, here's another idea on how to recycle your old Android. You can turn it into GPS. How can we do it? Very simple, we just have to download Google Maps or GPS Navigation and this way we get all the features of a navigation system, which will keep us on the right track, alert us about the traffic in real time.
4 VR headset
One of the technologies that continue to be talked about by their endless advances are the VR headset and although most are still very expensive to purchase there is a solution, we can convert our old Android in a VR headphones and get quite respectable results in terms of image, to perform the conversion we need Google Cardboard or YouTube VR to see videos in this quality, I leave you to your imagination as you could make the helmet to hold the smartphone.
5 Digital Radio
One of the inventions that are at least 100 years old and resist to disappear in the middle of so many technological advances in the radio, an invention that in its time was the most advanced and that today we can continue listening in our car or by internet, the digital radio or radio streaming are widely listened to, to make the changes just need to tune some digital radio, here I leave you some of the best.
Radio Online, my Tuner Radio, TuneIn Radio You can also search in Google and Sure you will find many even radios specialized by decades or specific genres.
6 Photo Frame
If we have a smartphone with a large screen we can make the last change for a digital photo frame, currently sell devices for that purpose, but we can give this very simple function to our old smartphone loading our favorite photos to the viewer and placing the slide option, the photos will be passing one by one.
As you can see there are many ways to adapt and give life to your old smartphone, if you have one in the drawer or you are about to throw it in the trash think twice.
