By far my most favorite use is as a notepad that I always have with me. I use a custom keyboard to make typing faster and more accurate.

Anything y'all like to do with your phones that you feel like most people miss out on?

I used my phone a lot to stream games from my PC to other rooms. Connect a Gamepad and Hdmi cable, and you can play all games from your library. Lag is minimal, but I haven't tried it for competitive games.

On PC popular options are Steam Remote Play and Moonlight.

for Xbox it's built into the Xbox app, Greenlight is a good alternative on PC

for PS4/5 there's the PS Remote Play app, but a lot of people prefer the PSPlay app on Android and Chiaki on PC for their improved functionality.

As for getting it on the TV any simple USBC->HDMI adapter will work.
