What's the use of old phablet?

At present, electronic products are updated and iterated frequently, so that "early adopters at the fingertips" has become a way to follow suit. At the same time, it is also worth saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. I believe that many "harmonious" friends are ready to exchange some "fresh goods" to treat themselves after a busy year. Then the problem is coming. What about replacing the old one with a new one? I really don't know. I was shocked. Old mobile phones and tablets can still play the role of security cameras, barometers, etc. 10 after retirement!

Ten ways to exert waste heat

Home security camera: Those old mobile phones or tablets that no longer need to be carried around can be placed in a corner of the house or on the window sill for home security monitoring or baby monitoring. At present, there are a large number of related applications on the market that can achieve this goal. For example, iCamSpy, Presence and Manything are all very powerful apps. Just try it.

Remote control: Speaking of remote control function, it is good news for students who like to take selfies. Old mobile phones or tablets can be used as the remote control of SLR cameras through special applications, which is very suitable for self-portraits. Including Apple and Chromecast TV sticks, all have special applications to control them.

MP3 player: Although some old mobile phones or tablets have been retired, they can still play stereo music files. If you want to save electricity for your new mobile phone, you might as well use your old mobile phone as an MP3 player, and you don't have to worry about calling to disturb your music. You can have the best of both worlds.

Electronic photo frame: the square figure of the old tablet computer is the best use when it is used as an electronic photo frame at home. As long as the appropriate application is selected and the power is turned on, the automatic screen locking is disabled. For example, Dayframe on Android platform is a good tool to import all kinds of photos from your social network into photo frame albums, and Picmatic does the same on iOS platform. E-reader: Although mobile phones and tablets are different from e-readers, they are not E-Ink screens, but they are more conducive to our reading. Both iBooks and Play Books can synchronize the official list of Kindle or Kobo, supporting cross-device synchronization. You can also log in to Instapaper or Pocket with your old mobile phone or tablet to read online.

Electronic clock: If you happen to have a base besides the old mobile phone, it is very suitable for being placed on the bedside as an electronic clock. At the same time, there are many apps with rich alarm functions, and even tell you what to do after waking up every day through electronic calendars and reminders.

Baby's toys: If there are children at home, then old mobile phones or tablets are very suitable as their toys. There are many applications and games specially designed for babies in the app store, and special home control software can be used to ensure that children will not be too addicted. More importantly, the old equipment will not feel uncomfortable even if it is touched.

Radio: Although the SIM card has been transferred to the new phone, the old device can still connect to Wi-Fi. Why not turn it into a radio? At present, mainstream radio stations have special applications, and there are a bunch of third-party broadcasting applications. It would be better if the old equipment was equipped with a base.

Specialized word processing tools: Both iOS and Android have free Office, so friends can use the old tablet as a special office tool to process documents, so they will not be disturbed by various games and social software. Of course, it would be more perfect if it could be equipped with a Bluetooth keyboard.

Barometer: We all know that the iPhone has a built-in barometric sensor, so you can check the local weather and climate by installing an application. This function can be realized by barometer including iOS platform and altimeter of Android. If possible, it would be great to hang them on the wall.
