BERLIN: Tinkerers can transform a discarded smartphone into an internet radio with just a couple of manipulations and then the device can be connected to the computer speakers through the headphone ports, according to Chip magazine.
In order to hear the music and news well, the volume level on the mobile phone should be set to the highest level. The station can then be searched for with a radio app or through the smartphone's browser. Additional costs will not accrue as long as the improvised radio device does not need a SIM card to use Wi-Fi to get onto the internet.
