What do you do with your old smartphones?

(China Plus) Chinese people often dump their smartphones quickly when a newer model hits the market. As a result, 560 million smartphones were out of use in China in 2016, despite many of them still being fully functional. How often do you change your smartphones? What do you do with the old one?

Recycle all minerals in the electronic. Special the rare earth minerals. The last creat a toxic mess during excavation and processing for electronic industry use.

My old iphone doesn't work and I put it in my drawer for someone who can fix it.

China is growing into a very materialistic country. People absolutely MUST have the latest, greatest gadget. Especially if it has a foreign brand name. It must be an Apple product, Tommy Hilfiger, Yves St. Laurent, BMW, Audi, etc. Very sad, really ... of course, you can't really blame them. Most Chinese branded products aren't worth the landfill materials they were made from.
