I'm fed up with these oversized,weighty tablets that Samsung are bringing out lately,so I'm going back to an old S2 which I recently bought and am waiting on delivery.I was having the problem of finding a new battery for my original S2,so ended up selling it with a dud battery.
Now I see that batteries are available.Might buy one to keep as a reserve.

Great tablet with excellent screen. Inevitably battery charge declined until I had to leave it plugged in. Checked YouTube for video on how to replace it - got instructions and then got a battery off eBay. Not complicated and it now runs (and charges) like new. Think it will now probably see me out.

They are making these huge heavy tablet's that I cannot hold without straining my neck. Am looking for someone to crack it and upgrade to android 11 so that I can continue to use it. What is now offered of similar size is not near the same quality in resolution.

Anonymous, 22 Aug 2023The perfect weight and perfect aspect ratio. Samsung doesn't release tablet like this anymore.The perfect Tablet when in bed. Light enough to not get tired to hold it. I looked for similar weight 8" tablets. But no success. I don't really understand why Samsung doesn't make such convenient beauty again.

Xperia5, 08 Aug 2023but you lose GSM radio -no calls, no SMSs, no voicemail Lots of services depend on SMS code... moreAgree-all those LOS have issues. I still have Android 7 stock but now a few apps do not work as they need updated Android api. Still the stock is much better. Sadly no one has been able to solve the custom rom issues for LTE versions.

I have upgraded it to LIneageOS 19.1 from XDA. It works fine but seems a bit slow. I don't know if my battery needs to be replaced. Accubattery says its health is about 82%. I may get 3-4 hours screen time. Can anyone suggest a reputable battery supplier? OEM batteries cost around $50, compatible ones are about $30.
