You also can use your old phone to store apps tracking your gym results, and you won't overload your new gadget. If your goal is to lose some weight, you can download an app that counts calories in your food based on the picture of your meal. Wanna turn your smartphone into an e-book reader? After factory resetting your old phone, download an eBook reader app. Set the brightness that’s comfortable for your eyes, adjust the colors, or switch to light-on-dark color scheme. But there are many other phone tricks! So, from saving your life in a dire situation to helping you experience virtual reality - check out the ways to use your old phone before throwing it away!
