Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD I757 - User Reviews

  • this phone is good for its functions but it starts hanging after some time and take too much time to open any function..it consumes too much battery so guys do not buy it...i m tying to get rid of it

  • This is not clone. This is the top rated sii made, HD screen, and LTE (like original Skyrocket i727). Didn't take off because S3 was released shortly after. This phone was near same specs, yet cheaper, and still had the 4 bottom button layout.

  • did you get a new battery that doesn't have nfc?

  • hi, I have problem regarding Nfc in my i757m. I am not able to connect my device with another even if nfc and s beam is enabled on the device. I have tried with many nfc enabled devices however the same problem exists in my i757m. Any idea ? Thanks in advance

  • does anyone know how to transfer files from internal sd to external sd. ive tried apps they dont work.whatgood is having an external sd card if you cant use it correctly?

  • plz tell me. wich is bast S II Skyrocket HD I757 vs Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250 and whats a difrent betmin

  • Hi plz tell wich is bast s2 sky vs galaxy nexes i9250

  • Also uses UTMS/HSPA+/HSDPA 850 1900 2100 for 3G+ and 700 Mhz band for AWS/LTE on Bell /Virgin network in addition to GPRS/EDGE band 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz. This implies that when unlocked, it may work on the Rogers/Fido/chat-r networks as a 3G+ phone without LTE.

  • in my opinion it is the best mobile phone. i am satisfied with my galaxy

  • Yes the system is automatically upgraded to jelly bean, the phone is fantastic! it is better than the apple iphone 4s and in my opnion better also than the Apple Iphone 5, I would say this is almost exactly as the S3 but with better price, and better design. only difference to me it's the processor, which in practice means nothing.

  • its also available in Mexico

  • Are you with Bell?

  • It is also avail in Canada from Rogers as well as Bell. I have this phone, and on my speed test on the 4g network i was receiving 48 megs per sec. considering on my 3g network i was lucky if i could pull 1 mps. I was very surprised with it, i thought i would be switching back to my iPhone within 24 hours, BUT i haven't and have not used my iphone in 3 months !!!!

  • I am already using from last one month....you can use this phone...It is quite good to use...awesome features.

  • Hi Arjun. Where did you get this phone and how much does it cost? from AT&T, right?

  • This phone is not "discontinued" as the specifications said. It just launched in Canada for Bell. Maybe update the stats and do a Review on it! I'd love to see a review on this phone.

  • how much the price in dirhams AED

  • You are right.. AT & T is a carrier like Vodafone,Rel etc. You can't use this Phone in india until u unlocked the version. Hopefully you have to buy Unlocked version of this phone from out of India. Then you can use in any network in India. And sorry No any Indian website will sell this product.

  • A wonderful phone!Is it available in Tanzania?East Africa.

  • It is not available in India, but I got one from the US. It can be used here without any hassles after getting the phone unlocked. 4G is available with airtel in select cities and it works with. I personally use the 3G and the phone is simply amazing!

  • what happen to this phone guys??? it says this phone has been discontinued.... but i hav to say this phone has a very nice DESIGN and a good looks to it

  • Guys this phone actually just launched in Canada for Bell. I honestly dont like the s3 and maybe will consider this one since screen is a reasonable size and will be cheaper. But I cannot find a review of this phone anywhere....

  • Too close in spec to the north american spec of the sgs3. that is what ieant to type.

  • I believe this device got cancelled because it is too close in specs to the new SGS3. At first glance it is an SGS3 with last gen processor and video chipset. It is an awesome device. i am using it right now.

  • samsung failed to do Samoled 'plus' 720p, i think that's the reason why cancelled.

  • Is this phone the same as this:

  • Officially cancelled

  • it's galaxy S III, it will be confirmed soon.

  • This phone rock when will it be on market in EA

  • i dont know why my fone start farting when its turn hot after the one hour of use.i need help.

  • I think its been canceled its been deleted in the AT&T device information system.

  • Highly disappointed in Samsung, no news on this phone whatsoever not even a hint since CES back in january.

  • Any idea to if and when this Samsung will ever be released?

  • Is this a preview /prototype of the much awaited S3 ?

  • an awesome phone.

  • very very best HD mobile hd pictchar

  • I'm looking for you big boy.let's see what can you do?????

  • where is this phone samsung? you said it would be out by the 1 qtr. I need a phone ...some info. please.

  • But you still like it, you're hoping for battery improvement. Let's see........

  • I hope this bad ass phone will have more strong battery, wich will last longer

  • Its gets hot becuase you are probably keeping WiFi or 3G or GPRS ON. If you turn these off and play nothing will happen.

  • Hopefully at the Samsung event next month we will hear something about this phone's status, its long overdue.

  • its normal to get warm when using phones like SG2 specially when you play games. but hotter than normal warm means problem.

  • I got camera failure and this junk phone is like a cheap of plastic made. I exchange it with Nokia Lumia 900 and I am happy with it.

  • Hi! Guys I just bought my GS2 two days back, Please tell me does anyone else Gs2 gets hot while playing Zynga poker or big 3d games like real racing hd ??? my phone's back get heat up when im playing these games for 1 hour it gets hot :( ??? is this ok or my phone is having a prob ? should i claim ?

  • I hope it's a whole removable back metal cover like the Galaxy R and Wave 3.

  • dose it av any dstv station?

  • check out the Xperia Ion, unless you have your mind set on this phone.

  • Guys this cellphone is what i was looking for i hope i will have it as soon as possible.

  • can worke with skype video calliing

  • Whats wrong with Xperia Ion?

  • Who else thinks this phone will be at the samsung event on may 22?

  • I would definitely trade thickness & weight for a bigger battery anyday.

  • Which ION are you referring about? If its the Sony Ericsson then your having a laugh.

  • This one looks legit, but everyone should look at the ION. Beats this one by a mile. Another thing, is it just me that would sacrifice a little bit of thinness or weight to have a battery that lasts the whole day?

  • Omg thank you. Why is everyone getting all excited about this one? Like, it's cool but the ion is so frikin awesome. I can't even wait for it. I'm stuck on my iPhone 4 right now. Suckssss.

  • what is the model number of samsung galaxy s ii skyrocket hd

  • will return my htc vivid if i can see it in April

  • Slowly losing interest because Samsung's been quiet about this phone since january. The Xperia Ion looks like the phone i'll be upgrading to if there is no new info by mid-may (when i'm eligible for a full upgrade).

  • About to get this phone

  • About to get this phone

  • Hope we see this in April.

  • First you say this about the xperia ion & now this,I highly doubt this one with Samsung being so quiet on this phone's specs & release window.

  • drops on april 8 for at&t....talked to at&t rep today

  • Really wish Samsung would hurry up & let ppl know whats up with this phone because i'm seriously leaning toward the xperia ion.

  • Where did you here that?

  • it's not S Amoled Plus, just S Amoled pentitle, same as Galaxy Nexus.

  • 1.5ghz dual core processor.

  • Good but expensive.

  • why this new phone is coming with gingerbread instead of ICS4. what is the speed of processor.

  • I would love for GSM to do a comparison review between this phone & the xperia ion when they both come out.

  • i have this samsung galaxy SII i9100 and i want to sell it as soon as skyrocket hd available in jarir bookstore hehehe

  • A 720x1280 display resolution? Now that's true HD, kids.

  • nice cell

  • Tha best

  • Currently this is definitely the ultimate smartphone

  • 720 x 1280

  • On the fence between this & the xperia ion

  • Not HD? Really? How is it not HD? Please do explain... -.-

  • I Am Waiting For This Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD..Because I have to buy Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD...

  • It hasn't even come out yet and all the iOS kids are yelling "It's not HD".

  • not hd just regular skyrocket

  • CPU: 2x1.2GHz Samsung Exynos 4210

  • All of the galaxy models are upgradeble if it has a usb input :)

  • I waiting for Samsung same something this SGS2/SGS3 model,in the camera:

  • this is d best smart phone right now

  • its not skyrocket HD...it's the sample version with a non-HD resolution screen - 480x800

  • why it's available in Cambodia? here the site: www.hakse.com.kh/ProductDetail.aspx?ID=1041

  • where is the cpu and Gpu

  • Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket HD is great phone to use go for it simply

  • CPU??

  • is the skyrocket HD upgradable to newer versions of android .......plsssss reply

  • galaxy note is a better phone between galaxy S ll skyrocket

  • Yea

  • this ia an excellent mobile samsung s 11 skyrocket hd

  • nise ok repair sollutions up load

  • This phone will be upgradable to ICS 4.0 for sure. Galaxy S2 I9100's will be updated to ICS 4.0 in Q1 of this year.

  • gingerbread is old,your correct!!

  • Samsung phone is kind of nice color and video but OS is really old,like my samsung infuse still FROYO OS no upgrade up to now!!tired of waiting!and this phone is gingerbread,next year is what??stuck to gingerbread till you get tired of waiting and buy a new samsung model?this is what samsung like.

  • Do you think I am not ?????????

  • This phone is the best smart phone so far.... am just waiting for its release i just cant wait... am dying to have it in my hands...

  • hi i like my s2 i think it is the best but if it has 12mp cam wow it will be the great

  • Well the phn has gr8mfeatures and owesome resolution...but what about the OS? gingerbread is old nw...at least it should be upgradable to 4.0

  • samsung i like so much it,s a very good mobile phone

  • when did they arrive????i want to catch it as soon as possible....i like it really can you release this month until im not buy galaxy s11 19100...

  • GSM Arena, are you sure that this phone has onboard super amoled PLUS screen?? As I know samsungs hd screens are based on pentile(five subpixels instead of six in PLUS technology) technology what means thats screen title is Super Amoled HD, not PLUS

  • what is going on with samsung galaxy phone. most of it that was released are faulty

  • It is an amazing smartphone really...and from my point of view it is better than iphone 4s knowing that my phone is iphone 4....

  • 8MP is arguably better, as more megapixels usually means less quality and more nouse (unless sensor is bigger, of course). 5MP is more than enough for all casual photography and prints, if you want more - get a normal camera :)

  • this one is a little bit different than nexus for starters this one comes with the 8megapixel camera which is far better than 5 MP camera of nexus also the SOC is different. not to mention that samsung reported that the battery will be better and will last longer. but you'll loose the ICS 4.0 and get the good ol Gingerbread. but if you folks wanna know more about this you'll have to wait for the WMC which will be on feb 27th.

  • anybody hve this cell

  • this > nexus

  • If there is a radio. That will be mine

  • that's great spec become a smart phone in the future in android

  • Yup this phone battery backup is very poor. I think u go sony xperia s this is a better opsion :)

  • No it's not. Rogers has the non-HD version - big difference.

  • This phone is out in Canada with Rogers. It is basically a combination of the best aspects of the existing Galaxy SII & Galaxy Nexus. Same screen as Nexus, Same Camera as SII, Card Slot, Faster processor, Gorilla Glass, LTE.... battery life should be no complaint as these days having an extra battery or car charger makes that "problem" gray in comparison to all the benefits this phone totes. ICS will be available around March, so who cares if it doesn't have it *right now*? I've been doing a lot of research, and this looks to be the best phone that has come out so far :)

  • it is very good phone but battery time is very poor.

  • What you want, standard Samsung Android plastic phone?

  • What Processor?

  • not nice

  • It says "Plus" right in the Specs description... it is a Super AMOLED "Plus" screen...

  • Is this phone eligible for an Icecream Sandwich update?!

  • Too big display, i. e. The phone is too big to keep in pocket. Same to galaxy S2 except display.

  • its super amoled hd not super amoled plus , samsung still dont have any device with super amoled plus in high resolution.

  • nothing special options same like galaxy s2. without heat problem nobody can touch the other mobile everybody. only one smart/nice/intelligent mobile only one Samsung.

  • might be?

  • What about upgrade to ICS?

  • Samsung Galaxy is very nice handset but very castly.

  • Does this phone have a Radio??

  • what is the CPU,

  • Wait for the complete specifications.

  • 1.5 GHz dual-core processor Internal Memory 16GB

  • agree

  • HELL YES, the skyrocket with the lower res screen is garbage.

  • Is this a joke? A phone operates without CPU? Comes with optional sizes like Galaxy Tab? ;P

  • No radio__???

  • I have the Skyrocket right now i got it a few weeks ago... Should i take it back and wait for the HD to come out ???

  • Metal Android Samsung phone, I love it.

  • that is one ugly phone

  • If you are sure, then you can feedback to GSMArena specs.

  • Agreed! It should just be shipped with the OS.

  • It's not super AMOLEd plus, unfortunately. It's just super AMOLED just like the Nexus prime's screen (pentile). I was so excited when I first saw "plus" :(. Be careful with what you post on here...

  • it's not a super AMOLED plus, It's just super AMOLED. Just like the nexus prime's screen. I was so excited when I first saw "plus" :(

  • Can we use this At&t phone with our T-Mobile prepaid sim Card? Thanks

  • WOW,,,, looks like a metal battery cover for Samsung Android phone, HD, 4.65" Super AMOLED Plus....

  • Poor update for our Wave but not on Android phones by Samsung. Wave S8500 is still great.....

  • This is basically the samsung galaxy s3, only difference will be the camera & OS. Trust me.

  • Couldn`t agree with you more

  • WOW!!! 4.65" Super AMOLED Plus with HD Res.

  • I just wonder why there is Android 2.3.5 inside the phone? It should be ICS already.

  • I think this phone will be exactly the same as G2 HD lte, minus the home button. So for all you ppl who cannot get s2 HD? Get this phone instead.

  • already available in china nice looking smaller version of the Note

  • did u people remember last year ces they announce infuse 4g.but at mwc the y announce s2 .s2 is great phone from infuse.wait just wait and relax more 32day we will see the handset that's change 2012 mobile innovation.world is greater than america ....

  • Not much point in this with the SGS3 coming at MWC

  • whn can i expect.. this sexy phone

  • the phone look great, however once you buy a Samsung few months in no more updates

  • Rangers all day everyday

  • This phone is only for America, but you can get it on-line, but you have to unlock it, which is not so cheap.

  • This has Corning Gorilla display, which is much better than the old Gorilla Glass display.
