Disassemble smartphone, find modem chip, remove modem chip, use as camera/music library/app center.

There usually isn't a separate modem chip, it's usually built into the SoC so removing that would be removing the entire CPU/GPU as well

Maybe drill if careful. Or hold solder iron onto chip until crack.
