Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Review

[rakeshkumar47]

Corning gorilla glass scratched in your pocket...please explain..

[kseadam8907]

@rakeshkumar47 - it doesn't have Gorilla Glass

[Cmoneycash484]

They lied about it having gorilla glass but its still good phone I have it, performs well I hope it gets ICS soon but I wouldn't hold my breath.

[H4rdstyl30wns]

I'm probably going to get an android phone. Does the skyrocket now come with ice cream sandwich?

[TechnoDude147]

My friend got it on white colour... White looks better :) (In My Opinion people!)

[nottinmatterz2day]

in what kind of shots does it drop to 23fps? your word was inaudible

[nottinmatterz2day]

does this have a tracking feature for how much data is used? or is that just the ice creams andwich version software or the Galaxy Nexus?

Now all AT&T has to do is get Google to upgrade the firmware so it will work with Bluetooth hands free devices. Yes, it was rolled out much to quickly. As far as I know this phone has Gorilla Glass. Shame on Google.

[DeadmanInc336]

So what's the selling points for this phone that makes it different from AT&T's Samsung Galaxy 2?

[kseadam8907]

@DeadmanInc336 - the only difference is the bigger 4.5 inch screen, and 4G LTE connectivity, as opposed to HSPA+ connectivity

[jgmtiger]

i dont have 4g where i live can i still use this phone?

[DeadmanInc336]

@jgmtiger

Of course. The phone is meant for AT&T's 4G LTE network. But you can still use it just fine with 3G and regular 4G.

[yngsip]

Why do you guys always read the spec like we cant do the same thing. Next time you do a review actually play with the phone like an everyday person

[kseadam8907]

@yngsip - this guy doesn't read the specs. take a look at Bryan's PhoneArena reviews. he reads from a script every time.

[NewTrickshoting]

Wifi compatible?

[elite407]

@NewTrickshoting yeah

[forever12372]

@NewTrickshoting NO....

[Philawockeez]

@NewTrickshoting no offense but stupid question xD

[BennyHarassi]

a friend at work has this, i have a 4S..im very envious

[cheercuteness]

This is better than most

[techphonephoenix]

follow me on twitter @nikewilliam619 for news like this thanks.

[sinhafamily]

Great review. Just what every gadget review should be like.

[nailva14]

Outstanding Review, you got to messaging, browser, camera, video, and it was overall really informing Good Job!: )

[dominionn09]

HI THERE, I DON'T GIVE A RATS A** WERE THE GOT THE LIST. YOU ARE MISTAKEN.

[senozlu1]

@dominionn09 Hi there don't blame me i'm your side as well ! I bought skyrocket and GS2 because of gorilla glass display but after reading some review and some research it is may not be true on these devices except on original galxy s2 what ever it is on it's display I all ways use screen protector and body cover so I can sell it later on. My initial comment was about how PA review and rate devices not to put down my own if you know what I mean.here is what I have said about 2 weeks ago,

[dominionn09]

Senozlu1

is it possible that the site hasn't Bern updated t lol the newest phones? I contend Yes. Especially BECAUSE I CALLED SAMSUNG DIRECTLY!!!! Sheesh..

[dominionn09]

Also Why in earth withstanding use Gorilla glass in All GS2 variants EXCEPT AT&T models?? Come on now, that doesn't make a bit of sense

[senozlu1]

@dominionn09 Hi there I did not come up with that list on my own it is from CORNING GORILLA GLASS web site I copied. feel free to check it yourself.

[dominionn09]

I'm not gonna argue with you big guy. With all due respect, I'll believe Samsung before a list you come up with. As I said..I called Samsung directly and got the answer. Good day

[dominionn09]

Senozlu1

I'm nit sure I understand what you're saying but if it is that the Skyrocket has gorilla glass, you're correct

[senozlu1]

@dominionn09 here is the list of samsung devices with gorilla glass,Samsung: Behold II, Captivate, Continuum, Corby S3650, Corby W900, Epic 4G, Fascinate, Flight II, Focus, Focus™ Flash (US AT&T), Galaxy A, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy S, GALAXY S II, Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Lindy, Mesmerize, Monte, Monte Preston, Omnia HD, Omnia W, S8500 WAVE, Showcase, Trance, Transform, Ultra TOUCH S8300, Vibrant, Wave II

[irpq11]

@senozlu1

That's ok. I am not familiar with the cell phone lingo anyway. hahaha

I need to learn. :) 

[irpq11]

Fact is the Skyrocket is choppy.

My wife has the regular GS2 and I have the Skyrocket. I wish I'd have stayed with the regular GS2.

This phone will be old news by the time 4G LTE gets here anyway. DO NOT buy the Skyrocket.

[irpq11]

@senozlu1

You seemed to have valid points if I could just make them out. Your typing and grammar are hard to decipher.

[senozlu1]

@irpq11

Hi there, well English is not my native language,sorry for the confusion :)) I tought I was clear about how PA test and rate devices.

[senozlu1]

About how they rate devices on their site questionable in my opinion they rated this skyrocket 7.5 at&t gs2 8.5 while iphone 4s 8.5 I had an 4s it is smaller slooooower heavyieeeerrrr no memory card expansion in mean while atrix2 rated 9.0 while small display half the ram 1gzh vs 1.5gzh and I have an atrix 1st generation. and a at&t gs2, at&t gs2 is appears to be a litte beeter when you sliding screens around other that my skyrocket scores 3713 on quadrant and 5995 on antutu. go figure :)))))))

[QuestionMarkHunter31]

@senozlu1 so would you get a galaxy s 2 or atrix 2

[senozlu1]

@QuestionMarkHunter31

Hi there I got GS2 skyrocket for me and GS2 for my wife both are very fast very good skyrocket a little slover but bigger display

[AsimoDante24]

Snap dragon processors are very good but on this phone, its not that great. Exynos Is better

[jelucas26]

Isn't this the same phone as the Sprint Epic 4G Touch?

[MrPrep91]

@jelucas26 pretty much yea,but it dont support a notification light to notify you when you have a missed call or text.STILL A GREAT PHONE I LOVE MINES

[kseadam8907]

@MrPrep91 - it's actually more like the T-Mobile version, because it has a 1.5 GHz dual core Snapdragon processor

[maxt999]

hows the battery life on this? I had the galaxy s infuse with its similar 4.5" screen and its battery life was really bad.

[senozlu1]

@maxt999 on daily use I charge my skyrocket every night. but I browse,text,email all day.

[dominionn09]

I don't think it's choppy at all

[kseadam8907]

why the hell are Qualcomm processors so choppy when they are put in a Samsung phone?

[iH8MomJokes]

I am typing this comment with the Motorola razor, and I an still torn between these two phones as I only have 15days to decide before my contract locks so can someone convince me why I should go with either phone? So far the camera and battery life is very disappointing. Also is the skyrocketing smoother and faster?

[UnrealGamerG]

@brianhuber100, he's a chink. I always wondered until in one of his reviews his face accidentally was reflected on the phone.

[ssiowi]

thx. ordered the skyrocket for use in portland, or. the price: $149.99!  how, called the att premier line, argued, took a $100.00 credit on my bill, and paid the $249.99 for my skyrocket. try it: you can get this amazing piece for 150 bucks anywhere in america. go for it.

[shahwali11]

Design +5

[dominionn09]

BTW I called Samsung and they said the screen IS indeed Gorilla Glass. Not sure where you are getting to your info. Having said that, you can obviously scratch the stuff. It isn't bullet proof.

[dominionn09]

Sounds Asian/American. Pretty obvious

[dominionn09]

Can someone confirm that this has gorilla glass please! Lol

[senozlu1]

@dominionn09

Hi there samsung says that they have way of their own to protect glass covering screen components similar or comparable to gorilla glass but thay did not confirm gorilla glass been used on galxy s2 skyrocket or at&t gs2, I got both of these devices glass looks just like moto atrix grilla glass screen.

[RichDeezyy]

Ive read other articles stating phone has gorilla glass lol

[RichDeezyy]

i thought it has gorilla glass? mine doesnt have a scratch on it

[RichDeezyy]

lmao 

[Prostreetcrazy]

The vivid sucks

[c510sony1]

I think its his asian+us accent lol if i make sense

[wtfwtfwtf325]

@c510sony1 nah u dont make sense at all!

[c510sony1]

@wtfwtfwtf325 shut the fuck up stalker

[wtfwtfwtf325]

@c510sony1 come on baby

[Stevethesearcher]

What is that accent? it sounds American but not quite. I await american viewers to let me know.

[brianhuber100]

@Stevethesearcher it is american. he has a lisp
