So you got a new phone for Christmas, and you look around your room to find a few other phones lying around. You can sell them, or give them away to friends and family, but there are some better ideas for your cast-away devices.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0Gym\/Exercise device<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are a gym or exercise\u00a0enthusiast, you can convert your old smartphone into\u00a0your very own fitness buddy. Download apps, centered around getting and keeping yourself in shape. Great fitness apps such as Map my Fitness, Workout Trainer, and JEFIT will do the job.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. GPS for your car<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s admit it, we don’t always know where we are going. So loading up your phone with mapping apps like Citymapper, Google Maps, and Waze will make you look like an expert tour guide. And seeing that it is not your primary phone anymore you won\u2019t be interrupted by phone calls or notifications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. TV remote control<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Can’t find your remote? We got a special use for your old smartphone for that. If your smartphone has an infrared emitter, you are set. Download a TV remote app and there you go… a universal remote.<\/p>\n

7. Alarm clock<\/strong>
\nA simple use for the device. Purchase a cheap smartphone dock, and place it right by your bedside and viola… you have an alarm\u00a0clock.<\/p>\n

Windows 10 Battlestation – Side\u00a9Brett Morrison\/Flickr<\/em><\/p>\n

Make it into your entertainment center. A Chromecast streaming device or a micro USB-to-HDMI cable, with Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Spotify, and Pandora apps. Not to mention games, and music.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Digital photo frame<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"4045880239_3671bf64c6_o\"hailey strawberry\u00a9digipam\/Flickr<\/em><\/p>\n

Turn your smartphone into a digital photo frame with great memories stored away. With apps like Dayframe you can scroll through those moments in time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"8524443211_8f70acde38_k\"4.\u00a0Baby monitor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have a new one in the home? Apps like Dormi<\/a>, and Baby Monitor can transform your device into a baby monitor, streaming video and audio to your\u00a0current device.<\/p>\n

Place the phone on a mount\u00a0on the car dashboard, with the camera facing outside. You have just created your life saver in case of insurance (in terms of witnessing an accident, in order to make a claim).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Wi-Fi extender<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"5663291297_a68754c0a6_b\"wifi\u00a9miniyo73\/Flickr<\/em><\/p>\n

Boost the WiFi signal throughout your house with apps like fqrouter2, which takes the signal and repeats it. It will require you to root\u00a0the device for it to work though.<\/p>\n

1. Emergency phone<\/strong><\/p>\n
