The functions of mobile phones are becoming more and more powerful. What should I do with the old mobile phone?

Nowadays, the speed of upgrading mobile phones is too fast. Old mobile phones are gradually being eliminated because of the backward system or hardware. So, what do you do with those old mobile phones? Throw it away? When selling second-hand mobile phones? Leave it to parents? Or put it in the drawer to eat ash?

I believe that after using the mobile phone for so long, there will be feelings, but I still can't bear to throw it away. If you sell it as a second-hand mobile phone, you need to pay attention to cleaning up personal information, but cleaning up personal information is not just "restoring factory settings." If it is not cleaned properly, it is easy to reveal personal privacy if you are not careful. Leave it to parents? Parents may not respect it, and the performance of the current thousand yuan phone is also very strong, which completely explodes your old mobile phone that is not stuck.

This article will teach you how to keep your old mobile phone at the bottom of the wardrobe. Can be transformed into useful small household appliances or accessories in life, so that it can continue to glow and heat.

I. Clock

Make old mobile phones at home into clock ornaments and put them in the bedroom or desk. Beautiful, does not occupy space, eye-catching, and can provide the safest guarantee for busy work.

Just search for a desktop clock (or similar software) in the app store that comes with your mobile phone, and simply set it up to be a desktop clock. At the same time, this kind of software can not only display the time, but also set the alarm clock, sleep timer and sleep-helping music. More conveniently, you can turn on the flashlight by double-clicking the screen or shaking the device, which is relatively complete in general.

If your mobile phone supports voice wake-up, you can also "hi Siri" and "love your classmates" in bed, and ask the time, weather and news in bed, which is simply too convenient.

Second, WiFi amplifier

Because my router is in the living room, when I get to my bedroom, the WiFi signal is not so strong. Sometimes I watch video cards. At this time, I will turn on the hotspot of my mobile phone and watch videos with traffic. It's cool, but what hurts me is the kind of traffic. . .

Later, it was found that when setting the hotspot of the mobile phone, the WLAN*** sharing function can be turned on, that is, the WiFi signal of the mobile phone can be forwarded, which is equivalent to the wireless bridge function of the router. In this case, you can put the old mobile phone between the living room and the bedroom, let the mobile phone receive the WiFi signal, and then amplify the transmission. After the cell phone turned, the signal in the bedroom was really much better.

However, not all mobile phones have this function. If your old mobile phone just has this function, and you are troubled by the signal blind area at home, you might as well try to transform your old mobile phone. After setting it up, just find a place where you can charge it ~

Third, infrared remote control.

Household appliances have all kinds of remote controls, which can be stacked on the table, sometimes it looks like a headache. If you have an old mobile phone that emits infrared rays, you can turn it into a universal remote control and easily control your electrical appliances. Such as air conditioners, refrigerators, televisions and so on.

At present, almost all products of Xiaomi and Redmi come standard with ancestral infrared remote control, and idle remote control can solve the urgent needs of household appliances.

Fourth, car navigation.

It is estimated that car manufacturers never expected that the biggest opponent of car navigation was actually a mobile phone.

At present, many people don't have GPS installed in their cars. Even if navigation is installed, the annual cost is not a small sum.

At this time, an old mobile phone can solve this problem perfectly.

Navigation and mobile phones are essential when driving. Using an old mobile phone as a navigator, its performance is much higher than that sold in the market. The reason is that the maps of mainstream navigation software such as Gaode, Baidu and Tencent are characterized by good performance, guaranteed technical update and fast geographic data update. Moreover, the resolution of the display screen is high, and the output mode can be speaker, earphone and Bluetooth, which fully meets the driving requirements.

What's more commendable is that the mobile phone can be used as both a navigator and a car recorder! If we make a comprehensive comparison between the performance of mobile phone and car navigator, we can say that the development of the function of mobile phone navigator has ended the golden age of car navigator.

Verb (short for verb) radio

Old people at home generally like old things like radios. The style of radio is different from that of TV. It is a good choice to use an old mobile phone as a radio. With your fingers, you can easily listen to the high-quality content resources of Himalayan radio stations, such as radio broadcasts, news, music, novels, cross talk, storytelling, jokes, online broadcasts, popular private broadcasts and so on.
