If you have finally taken the leap of faith and have bought a new smartphone after being amazed by the new features it has, you must be feeling a bit guilty for ditching your perfectly working old phone.

While you can definitely sell your old phone and earn some money, there are many other useful uses of your old phones.

Here is a list of things that you can do with your old smartphones:

1. Security Camera
Tape your old phone over a window that faces the entry gate of your home, and you have a cheap security camera working for you. If you are worried about the battery of your phone, make sure that it's being charged either through a point or a power bank. You can also use it as a baby monitor.

2. Music player
You don't need to buy a separate mp3 player if you have an old phone with you. Just fill it with the songs of your choice and play them whenever you want. This would save the battery of your new phone. You can also choose to keep the old phone in your home, connected to speakers, and use it to play music when you have a party at your place. You can also choose to keep this in your car and listen to uninterrupted music as you drive.

3. GPS
It's another feature of smartphones that drains a lot of battery. However, when you keep an old cell in your car, you can use it exclusively for driving around the streets without asking for any directions, and can charge it from the plug in your car whenever you need to.

4. Radio
Even though radios are not much preferred these days, but if your family is a fan of the good old source of entertainment, you can use your old phone as a radio system which would entertain the homemaker mothers and wives as they work in the kitchen. You can also listen to the night-special or weekend-special shows on your miniature radio.

5. E-reader
If you like reading, your old phone can work as an e-reader and help you rekindle your love for books. Using an old phone for this would also make sure that you preserve the battery in your new cell for other tasks like calling and surfing.

6. Torch
If you live in an area with frequent power cuts, you must know the pain of having to charge your cell again and again because the battery gets drained with continuous use of the flashlight. However, when you keep an old phone in your home, you can use it just as a torch, saving the battery of your new phone, especially when there is no electricity to charge it.

Other than these major uses, you can install several apps in your old smartphone, which would let you use it as a barometer, a weather forecaster, a storage device; also, if anything happens to your new phone, you can always have your old phone as a backup option for a few days.
