"Skyrocket skyrockets pass the competition "

Overall

4.0

The most powerful duak-core processor ever; 1.5GHZ. 8MP rear camera can take perfect photos; 1080p video looks beautiful (even on an HDTV). 2MP front camera gives the best quality ob video calls. Only downside is battery life, but what phone doesn't have that issue. Overall, this is the best Android phone on the market! 4G LTE data speeds & 1.5GHZ dual-core processor are why Samsung named this the Galaxy S II Skyrocket (not for sell; it really skyrockets pass the competition!)
