Turns out Australia is removing 3G support nationwide and that means I have to upgrade. I’ve had my phone for at least 4 years but it runs well, I wasn’t planning on upgrading for at least another year.

I want to keep using it, but I’m not too tech oriented so my thinking has been, " I can play music with it, some games, videos"…And that’s fine. But perhaps some of you guys have more creative ideas? Curious as to what would you recommend.

    In case you own a lot of devices with remotes, you might transform it into a universal remote with an USB C IR dongle. Wouldn’t be my first choice as you’d still need to recharge it so often but I read of such projects.

    Alternatively, you could give it to children for gaming and watching videos. Children are anyway mostly on WiFi and if you equip it with some emulators and ROMs they’ll have tons of funny games without all of these toxic in-app purchases, ads and casino mechanisms.
