What are you all doing with your old phones?

My previous phone is my PC's webcam, video game emulator and a basic travel PC.

I'm looking for other things that I could do, or improvements I can make to my set up. It's been cool tinkering, but I feel like I'm at my limit. I don't have root, and I don't have unlocked bootloader or anything like that. I looked into it, and it's far too complicated for my abilities....

I was able to see an S22 Ultra in person

I had a very brief hands on demo with the S22 Ultra and can answer a few questions about the device.

2. S Pen is integrated in the phone, no longer external. Latency is noticeably better as well.

4. 100x zoom is improved, better stabilization
