I have a couple Android phones with little resell value and I'm wondering what I could do with them on my spare time.

Not sure if this is the right sub to ask but figured it could be a good start to see if anyone here has done anything with phones.

I don't know if it's still viable but few years back I used to use my old Android phone/phablet as extra monitor for my pc to monitor stats with Spacedesk. It runs on wifi and gives you the ability to add multi devices as monitors so potentially you can make all your old phones into many monitors for your pc as long as they are all on the same network.
