Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket i727
Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket i727 features a sleek design with dimensions of 129.8 x 68.8 x 9.5 mm and a weight of 130.5g, available in black and white.
- Its 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing vibrant colors but a modest pixel density of 207 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion CPU and Qualcomm MSM8260 chipset, paired with 1GB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking for its time.
- The 8 MP rear camera captures decent images and can record video at 1080p@30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The battery capacity is 1850 mAh, which supports standard usage without fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 2.3.5, it can be upgraded to 4.1.2, offering a range of features from that era.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, and NFC, but it lacks 5G support.
- The device does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the Galaxy S II Skyrocket combines solid build quality with functional performance and a competent camera for its release period.
