Top 5 Reasons Galaxy S2 Skyrocket Can Rise Above iPhone 4S

Samsung's Galaxy S2 Skyrocket debuted Nov. 6 and it's iPhone 4S' biggest challenger yet, at least until Samsung releases the highly anticipated Galaxy Nexus later this month.

It took five years, but Samsung may have finally caught up to them. Not to mention the Samsung and Google team that developed the as-yet released Galaxy Nexus, Samsung has nevertheless put out the newest version of its top selling Galaxy S2, the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. It's got a bigger screen than the iPhone 4S and a faster chip to run all those apps on.

Furthermore, iPhone 4S is reeling a bit because of recent controversies over its battery life and brief brownout of Siri, the voice-controlled personal assistant. Apple products are known to have decent battery life, so the iPhone 4S' rapid battery drainage has been a mystery.
