Amazing sculptures crafted from recycled mobile phone parts

With each passing day, handset manufacturers are deploying new technologies in their products to attract new customers. However, users, after enjoying the features embedded in their phones, discard them without wasting a minute. Some of the manufacturers are trying to bring back the used mobiles via proper recycling, but even then, a large number of phones are polluting our limited natural resources.

Here, we are listing some beautiful artifacts created with used mobiles.
