Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727 (AT&T)

The Skyrocket features a glass front panel, black glossy plastic sides, and a matte, slightly textured back panel, and measures 5.15 by 2.75 by 0.37 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.65 ounces.

The Skyrocket's massive 4.5-inch, 480-by-800-pixel, Super AMOLED Plus display is as vibrant and colorful as on other Samsung phones; it's also two tenths of an inch larger than the Galaxy S II's display.

The Skyrocket's 8-megapixel auto-focus camera has a single LED flash. Test photos looked very sharp, with good detail both indoors and outside.

There's no getting around it: LTE is fast. In a series of tests in and around Boston, MA, I saw data speeds on the Skyrocket ranging from 16Mbps to 25Mbps down, and 12Mbps up.
