While cleaning, I found an old Redmi 12 phone that’s still in perfect condition. Anyone know what fun things I could do with it? Thinking about experimenting software wise, repurposing it for other things etc. Any ideas?

I use one as a camera monitor for my kids’ baby monitors.
A more general idea would be setting up a weather/forecast display.
It is not recommended to use an old phone as a camera monitor due to the risk of failure. Phones are not meant to be left on the charger and in use constantly like that. Degraded batteries due to the phone being older can compound this issue.
The phone I use has constant battery charging protection. I checked before using it for that. But yeah, definitely check for that before using it that way, or remove the battery (if the phone will still run without it).
