In terms of LTE coverage in our side of the world, Verizon is still the undisputed league leader while AT&T is at the second spot. Sprint with its nascent LTE network is at third but has recently announced a massive 100-market expansion in the coming months. AT&T not wanting to be outdone has made an announcement of its own expansion and has confirmed that its LTE network is already lit up in Philadelphia and Wilmington, Delaware as we speak. This means that users of LTE-capable devices from AT&T such as the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket now has a wider playground to bask in.
The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket is on sale now starting at 69.99.
As for the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, this is one of the true 4G devices to get added on to the carrier’s stable of Android-powered devices. Looking back, AT&T already marketed several of its smartphones as 4G devices when in fact, these same devices are just 3G and HSPA+ handsets that are woefully inadequate when compared to their 4G counterparts such as the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket.
This all changed when the carrier announced the addition of the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket to its lineup back in October of 2011 after which it made its debut in the shelves of AT&T a month later in November. The handset was announced alongside the HTC Vivid 4G, another true 4G handset, and together, these two devices became the core of AT&T’s stable of LTE devices.
As for the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G, the handset is the LTE version of what back then was the Samsung flagship device, the Samsung Galaxy S II, that made its way over to the shelves of the carrier. The devices measures 129.8 x 68.8 x 9.5 mm and it tips the scales at 130.5 grams making it an average-sized smartphone with a 4.5-inch display.
In terms of its design and aesthetics, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G looks like your typical Android smartphone with a black paint job that essentially makes it look like a slab of black plastic. It cannot be denied however that the handset has a solidly-built quality to it and is actually comfortable to hold in the hands even for extended periods.
The really interesting stuff though can be found in the internals of the handset. Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G sports a QualComm MSM8260 Snapdragon chipset which brings to the device a dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion processor and a full gigabyte of RAM. Storage space on the handset is pegged at 16GB but a user still has the option to have its internal memory beefed up using the microSD card slot of the handset. As for its display, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G packs a 4.5-inch SuperAMOLED Plus capacitive multitouch panel with a resolution of 480x 800 pixels while its camera department is just as impressive with its rear 8MP shooter and front 2MP snapper.
