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.

                            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.
