When talking about the Android-powered smartphones in the lineup of AT&T, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G is certainly one of the better performing devices in the whole lot. Though the handset is still in the Gingerbread generation, we already know that the device stands to get upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in the near future with Samsung confirming the fact that indeed, the handset will get the jump to the latest version of the Google mobile operating system.

In fact, despite the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G is still running Gingerbread for its operating system, a couple of leaked ICS ROMs for the handset have already managed to find their way to the internet in the past thereby giving the more adventurous of out smartphone-crazed brethren rocking the handset for their mobile weapon of choice a chance to see just how Ice Cream Sandwich will look and feel on the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G.
Not only that, the handset is also one of the first smartphones to be added to the Android lineup of the wireless provider to have true 4G capabilities unlike those marketed by AT&T as “4G devices” when in fact these are only 3G and HSPA+ smartphones to begin with. This means that by packing 4G LTE support, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G can already take advantage of the ever-expanding LTE network of the wireless provider and at the same time reap the benefits brought about by the said network such as the unprecedented mobile internet speeds for one.
And now, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G just became even more attractive with the recent price cut it has seen at an online retailer. That being said, those ever so inclined can now get their hands on the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G for as low as $79.99 at the said popular online retailer. However, you will be required to sign a new two-year agreement with the carrier for that matter if you want to have the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G delivered to your doorstep. At this point in time, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G at its price point of $79.99 at select AT&T authorized online retailers is already a steal given the components and capabilities that it brings to the table, which we have outlined below.
The operation of the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G is powered by the handset’s QualComm MSM8260 SnapDragon chipset and this SoC brings into play a dual-core Scorpion processor running at 1.5 GHz paired with a full gigabyte of RAM to ensure that the performance of the handset is always buttery-smooth. The internal storage of the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G is pegged at 16GB but this can still be expanded to as much as 32B through the use of the handset’s dedicated memory expansion slot. It also comes with a very vibrant 4.5-inch SuperAMOLED Plus display with an 800 x 480 resolution while its camera department outfits the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G with an 8MP autofocus shooter capable of recording 1080p clips at its rear panel while its front bezel is home to the handset’s 2MP video call and self-portrait camera.
