So I need to buy a new phone for my mother as she was still using her "almost a decade old" Galaxy S2

IF you don't have Android 4.0.3 I don't think much else will work either lol. That's ancient stuff.

Isn't the Galaxy S2 upgradeable to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean? Might depend on the specific model though.

Maybe. I don't know. I'll gift her some Galaxy A-series model.

Man, that version is even older than the Android 4.3 runtime of the BB10 devices.

Yeah, better to buy a new phone. There are plenty of great entry-level and mid-range phones that offer great value for the money.
