If you happen to have AT&T for your wireless provider of choice and are a fanboy of Android-powered smartphones at the same time, the list of Android devices in the stable of the wireless provider could give you a hard time in choosing one that you would rock for your mobile weapon of choice. If push comes to shove however, you would want to have the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G in your hands for that matter, which also happens to be the top Android smartphone in the stable of the wireless provider.
Buy the Samsung Skyrocket starting at $99.
Naming the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G as the premier Android-powered smartphone offered by AT&T is relatively easy. Announced back in October but only making its debut in the shelves of the wireless provider in November, the handset was one of the first “true 4G” devices to be included in the lineup of AT&T. Before the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G joined the AT&T fold, the wireless provider already had several 4G devices but this was just a marketing ploy because these said devices are in reality only 3G and / or HSPA devices are hopefully underpowered when compared to the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G. In addition to that, the handset being the “true 4G” handset that it is can literally take advantage of the 4G LTE network of AT&T and the unprecedented mobile browsing speeds that it brings.
And just recently, though we already know that the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G will get the jump to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, AT&T confirmed the ICS update for the handset though no specific date was forthcoming at the time the announcement was made. And to top it all off, the handset got a leaked Ice Cream Sandwich update a couple of days ago which pretty much gives its user, those brave enough to flash the leaked ROM, a chance to get a feel for how the latest version of the Android operating system will look and feel once it already runs in the device.
The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G is the AT&T 4G LTE variant of the Samsung flagship handset and like the original version of the Galaxy S II, the handset packs that powerful punch under the hood making it one of the best-selling devices at AT&T. The handset is a true multitasking beast thanks to its QualComm MSM8260 SnapDragon chipset where a dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion processor, a dedicated Adreno 220 GPU and full gigabyte of RAM all work together to ensure the powerful performance of the handset. The built-in memory of the handset is pegged at 16GB and is expandable as well should it fall short of your storage needs. The best feature of the handset though is its massive 4.5-inch SuperAMOLED Plus display which makes the consumption of your multimedia content and games even more enjoyable. Completing the specs sheet of the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G is its impressive camera department with its rear 8MP main camera and front 2MP webcam.
AT&T is offering the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G for $249.99, however select AT&T authorized retailers will give you a savings of $150 bucks because it offers the handset for just $99.99 with a new two-year agreement with the carrier. Buy the Samsung Skyrocket starting at $99.
