Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket landed in front of our camera [VIDEO]

When the Samsung Galaxy S II trio got announced in the United States a couple of months ago, AT&T wireless’s offering came closest to the original I9100. The versions for Sprint Wireless and T-Mobile came with bigger, 4.5″ Super AMOLED Plus screens. The aforementioned occurrence left quite a few AT&T customers just a tad disappointed for being stuck with “only” a 4.3″ screen. After all, bigger is always better in America.

Well, it looks like AT&T has decided to take action and fix things with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket. The Android powerhouse now comes with the same 4.5″ screen as its T-Mobile and Sprint siblings. AT&T has also given it the LTE treatment to make up for the wait.

In case the device looks familiar to you, there is a good reason for it. The Galaxy S II Skyrocket is almost 100% identical with its T-Mobile sibling. It lacks NFC but, like we mentioned above, packs LTE connectivity. And yes, its back cover is now black, not gray.

The Skyrocket features a Snapdragon S3 CPU with two 1.5GHz cores. There is a gig of RAM on board, along with 16GB of built-in memory. In case you need more, there is a microSD card slot present. The screen is the already familiar 4.5″ Super AMOLED Plus unit with WVGA resolution. An 8MP camera, capable of 1080p video capture, is, as always, the main snapper, while a 2MP front unit is at your disposal for video calls.

The Galaxy S II Skyrocket runs Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread with the latest TouchWiz launcher on board. We have prepared a video of it in action for you. Check it out below.
