4 Android apps I keep on a spare phone to turn it into a useful home gadget

There’s a drawer, bin, or shelf in your home with the old tech products you rarely use but can’t justify throwing away. If you’re anything like me, it might include a handful of spare Android phones. They come in handy if a flagship phone is lost or breaks, giving you a backup until your primary device is repaired or replaced. However, if you wait to make use of your spare Android phone until a need arises, it could rot away in a junk drawer forever. That’s why I proactively put my extra Android devices to use as a smart home helper.
