My pixel phone has meager storage. Could I use an old phone with bountiful SD space to serve up media via Bluetooth?
Any ideas if this would work practically speaking?
Edit: Looking for a functional equivalent of on-device storage space, i.e., for offline media consumption
USB phone jack is often used for power, so it’s unlikely available for OTG storage
Battery life in the server phone should be ok since it will be running in airplane mode with only Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth, and display off mostly
Get a NAS for home, and VPN in as needed. Store all your media on the NAS, and also use it as a phone backup target.
Thanks but looking for offline solutions
Downside might be that this requires a good internet connection, which depending on where OP travels might not always be available.
