Let's say you have samsung s4 and lg v4 sitting in your drawer and both are in good condition. What would you do with these?

  • Sell it?
  • Mount it on a wall to control a HVAC smart system?
  • Wireless camera Intercom?
  • GPS for car or bike?

  Remote for smart home? Lights, music etc. That way anyone can use it.

  Constantly plug one into a speaker for music in my office

  Pass them to your parents or any other oldies who simply use their phones for calls or sms.

  Kodi box if you don't have a media player yet - you'll be needing MHL cable for stability though.

  In addition to the other suggestions, I also use mine to run automated tasks like botting, Vodafone's dreamlab, etc.

  Sell one, keep the other as a spare phone.

  I would sell them both to Mobile Monster (or another site if they have better prices)

  drug deals, kidnappings, ransom calls… chromecast/remote for the family?

  Gift it to someone in a third world country when you travel?

  see if there is a custom rom for it and milk it for all its performance I can, then throw it into the drawer never to be seen again

  Sell them or troll people in games with multi accounts.. having 2 extra lives in PUBG or controlling a whole squad together as one would be pretty funny imho.. or just driving yourself three times over around the map.

  Otherwise erase all data and sell on eBay, gumtree, Facebook I'm that order.

  If you were a gamer one of them can become a dedicated discord app or music player while your main phone becomes the game player.
