What can I say about smartphones? They’re portable and pocket-sized, they’ve revolutionized the way we communicate and connect with each other online, they’ve made it easier to document our lives through photo and video, and they entice us to upgrade by coming out with something better and faster every year. Because of that last point, there are so many smartphones lying around going to waste. Although smartphones are currently the predominant mobile device, that wasn’t always the case. Believe it or not, older mobile devices didn’t connect to the internet. Instead of having everything on one device such as contact lists, music players, and ability to call, these activities all used to be on separate devices. Anyone remember pagers, flip phones, PDAs, and stand-alone MP3 players? Yeah, those were the days.

The great thing about upcycling old mobile devices is that they are…mobile. This means that they are great for making portable projects. The older mobile devices generally have to be modded or taken apart to make something new, but smartphones, especially Android phones, can easily be repurposed just by adding or creating new useful apps! The following chapter has three projects ranging from easy to advanced, and it centers around upcycling different types of mobile devices.
