Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Review
The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket runs on AT&T’s 4G LTE network, which unfortunately isn’t available in every city yet. However, if your hometown allows it, you’ll be more than satisfied with the Skyrocket smartphone, which sports a brilliant 4.5-inch display with sharp, vividly colored images. The 8 MP camera takes clear photos and HD video with 1080p resolution; you’ll also find a 2 MP camera on the front that allows you to chat with friends face-to-face. Of course, with such a large screen come some drawbacks: the phone’s bulkiness and its limited battery life. You’ll be forced to charge it every night since it operates like a mini computer. However, the $179.99 smartphone will also make many areas of your life much easier and more convenient.
