What to do with this phone?

[atrash]

So I found an old phone in my drawer, that used to belong to my brother.

Except for the scuffs,wear and tear on the bodyshell, everything seems to be working perfectly fine. Since I already have an iphone myself and have not much experience using an android, I was wondering what I can do with this phone? I was thinking of using it as gps for my bike. It comes with Android 4.4.2 btw.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated

I’d just use it as a media player for YouTube or something. It’s not too bad of a device.

you could practice rooting on it maybe. is needs a cell connection to do GPS though, and I doubt you want to continue paying for it.

That was my first Android phone!

GPS is a good idea. Download something like HereMaps.

I doubt the battery will last too long though

I already have an iPad for that. I agree it's not too bad of a device looking at specs wise

I can always get it plugged it or use a powerbank. Here Maps is a nice idea. but will the gps work without a network tho?

That's why I suggested it It just uses satellites, not carrier signals. It's what I use when I travel to the US.
