I have had my old cell phone in my room for years. After reading on the internet that I can't upgrade to another version such as 6.0 or 7.0 and I was wondering whether I might not even damage my own cell phone, although I can't upgrade it. If there's still an upgrade to another version of Android 4.3 to 5.0 or so, then please write with instructions, because I no longer feel like looking for answers. Otherwise please vote.
If you don't want it anymore, sell it on eBay. There are enough people who want something like that. But destroying / damaging is just unnecessary.
I would try a drop test…
