Still an impressive device in 2019. I am reminded about how light and empty-feeling they seemed after the (then) awesome HTC desire. Almost as much as the first time I held the original Star Tac.
Mine is now 8 years old and with a $10 replacement battery it works well! The OS updates have slowed it down of course and some apps are painfully slow. However, everything works and it is a great emergency phone. The camera looks misty - seems to be an issue with some old devices. When hiking it's a great spare phone but mainly, it's got a heap of tunes and audio books - without a SIM it runs for days and charges very quickly. I tend to walk with it for hours at a time and leave my main phone off...
These things are durable compared to new devices so kids can play with them fine. I wouldn't try to rely on one as my main phone except when trouble strikes. As a spare thing around the house or while travelling, they're still very useful.
The S2 form factor is good, not just for people with smaller hands! I expect that as trend change, an S2 -sized machine with faster internals will again be popular. Maybe we will all have tablets plus a little phone? A souped-up S2 would be very handy.

Still quite usable, I had it for 15 days until it stopped charging. I replaced it with an OEM New battery but it barely lasted 4 hours of screen-on time.
Pros:
Nice Screen
Decent Performance
Design (subjective)
90% of apps will still work
Cons:
Build quality isn't great, somehow managed to not break even after flexing it with full force
Android 4.3 minimum would have been better
Heats up alot around the camera after a few mins of use.

Andy the duracell battery is good for the S2. Much better than an OEM thats been sat in a warehouse for who knows how long.
This phone was released on Monday 2nd May 2011! You know what else is a Monday 2nd May? The year 1729! You know what happened on 2nd May 1729?... Well I'll leave it to you to google it. But this is why this phone is a favorite of mine.

Mine is 7 yrs old now, and the original battery still stores enough juice for 24+ hrs.
Running LineageOS 14.1 (without Google Apps, though), which gets weekly updates.
This in turn means continued up-to-date security fixes based on Android 7.1.2. Yay! \o/
The hardware proved to be very sturdy and easy to maintain (e.g. internal cleanup).

I just held this phone (the international i9100) in person and oh my god it is really NICE!!! I definitely prefer the feel of this than the Galaxy S3. I (in my opinion) even think it's a better feel in the hand than the iPhone SE!
I know I might sound like someone from 2011 but no I am from 2018 and being absolutely serious about everything I just said. This phone (in terms of the feel in hand) is my absolute FAVOURITE!!!
