The Skyrocket
Samsung is well-known for making Android smartphones and tablets that are very effective, efficient and innovative. They’re very good products that are simply begging to be bought.
Probably Samsung’s most popular smartphone is the Galaxy S II. It has plenty of features that simply rival the iPhone in terms of functionality and features.
But the Galaxy S II has a bigger brother that’s even better – the Galaxy S II Skyrocket. For those who own an iPhone 4s, you know that the Galaxy S II is the definite iPhone rival, but now there’s something even better!
As you’d expect, the Skyrocket has even better features than the S II, which will be explained in a minute. If you think the Skyrocket is just a reiteration of the S II, think again. Samsung manages to offer more than what the S II has to offer.
Here are some defining features of the Skyrocket that will make you sell your iPhone 4S.
Design
You might think that the S II and the Skyrocket is just like the iPhone 4 and 4S – they look the same when put together side by side.
Fortunately, the Skyrocket looks different from the S II. In fact, it’s even bigger! Just when you thought the S II was one of the biggest smartphones, the Skyrocket edges it out.
The Skyrocket is 0.5 mm bigger and 0.1 mm thicker than the S II. The Galaxy S II has a 4.3 inch screen, but the Skyrocket comes in at 4.5 inches! It also has the same Super AMOLED Plus screen used in the S II. That makes the colors of whatever your phone is displaying come to life.
Surprisingly, the smooth edges of the Skyrocket make it easy to hold, making it comfortable despite its size. It’s also fairly light, weighing at only 4.7 ounces.
User Interface
For those who are familiar with Android phones, the Skyrocket will certainly feel at home. It comes in with Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread. It has everything you’d expect from a top-of-the-line Android smartphone.
It comes with 7 home screens to choose from, and resizable Widgets. Also, there’s a pull-down notification menu where you can toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other features.
What’s impressive is that the Skyrocket also has a task manager, showing you all the active apps, downloaded apps, and memory used. That’s great for those who want to manage the phone and close apps they don’t need, preserving battery life.
Features
The smartphone doesn’t have the ‘Skyrocket’ name for nothing. It’s because the Samsung Skyrocket offers 4G connectivity, while the S II only has 3G. That means you’ll even get faster download speeds. Theoretically, you can have speeds of 21 Mbps. But of course, those speeds depend on where you are right now and what carrier provides 4G services. This service alone is good enough to sell your iPhone 4S.
Google services are also included. Standard apps like Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube and Google Talk are all included. You also get the Google search bar with voice support.
Another Samsung standard included in the package is the Media Hub. You can purchase or rent movies and TV shows and watch them all through your smartphone.
Camera
Just like the S II, the Skyrocket also features an 8 megapixel camera. It takes crystal clear photos. There are also color effects, image editors and other settings that help make your pictures look more beautiful.
It also has the ability to shoot in 1080p HD video. You’re sure to have high quality images and videos to share with your family and friends.
There’s also a front 2 megapixel camera, allowing you to have video chats.
Performance
The Skyrocket features a powerful 1.5 GHz dual-core processor. That definitely makes the touchscreen fast and responsive. Zooming in and out, multitasking and watching videos and other tasks are simply quick.
Conclusion
Sell your iPhone 4S for the Skyrocket instead. It has plenty of features that simply dwarf Apple’s smartphone.
What’s even better is that you can upgrade from the Android Gingerbread to the newest Ice Cream Sandwich! That means you’ll get all of the newest stuff Google has to offer!
