Old "Galaxy" is a smart home device-Samsung provides a reusable program

　There aren't many new ways to dispose of old smartphones that are no longer needed.There are ways to trade in, sell, or give it to family and friends.But Samsung is trying to push the fourth options to the mainstream.That is the method of up -cycle.

　Samsung announced on April 21 that Galaxy's up -cycle program will be expanded, and Galaxy owners will be able to turn old smartphones into smart home equipment on the company's "SmartTHINGS" platform.On the same day, the beta service begins in the United States, the United Kingdom and South Korea.The Galaxy UpchCling at Home program was first announced at CES in January.

　In other words, an old Samsung smartphone will be reborn as a sensor for lighting if the room is too dark, if the room is too dark, if the room is too dark.

　Jaeyeon Jung, a Vice President in charge of SmartThings, states in a press release:"Smart home devices are a rapidly growing trend with home appliances, and we believe that Galaxy terminals that are not currently used can play an important role in changing all families into smart homes."

　However, to recognize the baby's cry and the squeals of the dog all day, and to grasp the brightness of the surroundings all year round, the device battery has a heavy load.According to Samsung, a battery optimization function has been added to minimize the amount of power used.
