Are you team Android or team iPhone? This is a pretty popular question being asked nowadays. And one thing is for certain: you’re either one or the other, but never both. 

When heading to the phone store to pick out your new device, you’ll have to make the decision. Although this might be a hard one for you, we might be able to make things a bit easier. Here are 5 weird things to do with Android phones that you probably didn’t know about. 

1. Transform It into Your Television’s Remote

Have you ever sat down on the couch after a long day at work yearning to relax while watching your favorite TV show, but the remote is nowhere to be found? It happens quite a bit. And it wouldn’t come as a surprise if most Americans started to believe that their television remotes had a mind of their own.

Well, the lost remote days are finally in the past! There’s no need to worry about finding your remote when your Android phone can transform into your TV remote for you! That’s right, simply download an app on Google Play and start switching through the channels with your smartphone. 

2. Play Your Favorite PC or Nintendo Games

Do you have a favorite PC or Nintendo game that you wish you could play from any location? Now you can! It can all be done on your Android device. 

Your gaming skills no longer have to stop at the computer or TV screen. Take your favorite games with you by downloading the apps out of the Google Play store. And get in quality game time while waiting in line for your coffee or while commuting by bus or train to work and back.

3. Transform It into a Compass and Ruler

If you’re a fan of the big outdoors and love to travel or explore, then you’ll be happy to hear that Android phones now come equipped with compass and ruler functions. It’s one of the best things to do with Android phones for those who spend a lot of time outdoors. 

What’s the best thing about it? It doesn’t require a download from the Google Play store. It’s already installed on the Android devices and comes in handy when you least expect it.

There’s been plenty of times when you needed a compass or ruler and didn’t have one. But now, both of these tools are available at your fingertips!

4. Customize Vibrations for Different Contacts

Not only are Android phones made to work with a variety of custom phone cases, themes, and widgets, but you can also set your Android phone to vibrate differently for each contact. This is a great feature when needing to keep your phone quiet, but still wanting to have an idea of who’s calling. Maybe you’re in the movie theater and can’t pull out your phone to see who’s buzzing you.

But with the customizable vibration feature, you’re now able to tell who is calling by how the phone vibrates. And you’ll know if it’s worth missing a scene in the movie or not. 

5. Play a Hidden Android Game 

Did you know that Android phones have a secret game embedded in them? No, probably not. But now you do. 

The game is both exciting and loads of fun. You can access it by heading into your phone’s settings, then clicking on the “About Phone” tab, and lastly clicking on the “Android Version” tab multiple times. Once the game is brought up, you might need to hold down on the logo to play. 

Marshmallow and Lollipop versions allow you to hold down on the Lollipop or Marshmallow to bring out the game.
