The S3 has a larger battery, larger screen with an HD resolution, more memory for multitasking, and the newest version of Android Ice Cream sandwich. The S3 has a slew of new software tweaks, features and gestures which add to the user experience and make it superior to the S2 skyrocket.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are several differences between the SAMSUNG GALAXY SKYROCKET S11 AND THE Galaxy S3. I cover the major ones here. I won’t get too technical but if you don’t understand some of the terms, please look them up. First, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the newest of both phones and it is probably (at the time of this writing) the best Android phone on the market. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has a super AMOLDED HD screen while the Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket has a lesser super AMOLDED Display Resolution of 800x480 pixels. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has a bigger screen size at 4.8" and the Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket has a screen size of 4.5". The Samsung Galaxy S3 has the newest Android platform (ICS) and the Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket uses the older Android 2.3.5, Gingerbread platform. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has additional, newer communication features such as PIP while emailing or texting and better NFC & sharing features than the Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is available on all three major carriers and the Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket is only available on AT&T. I hope this answers your questions. Happy shopping.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Here is another honest answer! I owned the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket for about 2 weeks before returning it and get the new SGSIII. The S3 is supposed to be better since it has a faster processor and comes with 2 GB of memory (Skyrocket has a slower processor and only 1GB of memory). SGS3 comes with IceCream Sandwich while Skyrocket comes with HoneyComb. The Samsung galaxy S3 comes with other features but most of them I will consider a "gimmick" like the camera looking at you and keeping the phone screen on....It does not always work ....believe me! or the feature that allows you to multitask by moving a playing movie around...well this does not work with movies from Youtube or Netflix it is only when playing locally recorded movies. I discovered that the Musc player in honeycomb is more stable then that one on Icecream Sandwich.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Skyrocket is a smaller screen and is on the older Android Gingerbread software. Both phones are fast LTE cell data. I wouldn't go into a new 2 yr contract with a Skyrocket because Samsung rarely if ever updates the software. Besides the skyrocket is still $99 versus $199 for the S3 and it's a superior product
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The S3 you get 2x the RAM then the Sky Rocket. You also get a true HD 720p display on the S3. The CPU is also better on the S3 vs the S2. Screen Size is bigger on the S3.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi! Thanks for your question. Display size and features Processor specs Phone memory Camera and camera features The battery Durability The Galaxy S2: 4.3-inch with a 800 x 480 pixels resolution Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touch-screen 217 ppi pixel density The Galaxy S3: 4.6-inch HD with a 1280 x 720 pixels resolution Super AMOLED Plus capacitive with TouchWiz screen 319 ppi pixel density The Camera Very important to media junkies who want high quality picture and video capture options. Once again the Galaxy S3 is much better in this field. The S2 sports a 8 megapixel camera with 3264×2448 pixels and with 1080p HD video capture, as well as a secondary 2 MP camera for video calling. The camera of the S3 is still hidden in a veil of mysteries and rumors, but it will probably be a 12 MP camera with 4000×3000 pixels and of course 1080p HD video capture. There will also be a front 2MP camera which is becoming quite standard. The Battery A lot of room for debate here as well. Those who are interested in the outcome of the Galaxy S2 VS Galaxy S3 mash-up will be particularly interested in this feature. In short the Galaxy S2 sports quite a standard battery with Li-Ion 1650 mAh. We aren’t sure about the Galaxy S3, however, it is predicted that it will come with a good-looking, slim 2250 mAh battery.
