AT&T is planning the release of its first two high-end 4G LTE smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and the HTC Vivid.

Both of these devices sport impressive specifications.

For display, the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket has a 4.5-inch SuperAMOLED Plus screen. AMOLED displays are known to have some of the best resolution in the smartphone market. The HTC Vivid will match the Skyrocket in screen size also sporting a 4.5-inch display.

The Vivid employs a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm APQ8060 processor while the Skyrocket over powers HTC’s device including a 1.5GHz dual-core chip.

The internal RAM on the Vivid is at 1 GB and the Skyrocket will match it having the same amount. Both devices sport 8-megapixel rear-shooting cameras capable of filming in high definition.

They also both include front cameras with the Skyrocket’s version at 2-megapixels and the Vivid’s trailing behind with 1.3-megapixels.
