Available in your choice of either black or white, the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch recently was reduced to a retail price that is certainly not indicative of its feature set or performance capabilities. The handset became Samsung’s fastest out of the gate ever, accumulating 10 million units sold the first five months after its launch in Europe and Asia. What is probably most impressive about that 10 million unit number is the fact that the device garnered all those sales and all the popularity without being accessible to the tech-crazed United States consumer electronics buyer. Once the handset was offered for sale in the United States, released exclusively on the Sprint WiMAX 4G network on September 16 of last year, sales exploded.

Currently, all global versions of the Samsung Galaxy S II Android smartphone have topped 35 million units. But this first US variant, the Epic Touch 4G, is no doubt the handset singularly responsible for the bulk of those US sales. And the handset is not just popular to consumers. Every year the 4G World Conference and Expo convenes, and industry experts and analysts choose what they feel was the best brand-new 4G capable device released that year. Last year in Chicag, Illinois, the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G was awarded the blue ribbon in the Best New Mobile Device category.
And it is not hard to understand why industry analysts as well as consumers went gaga over the device when it first arrived. The handset delivers one of the largest screens in the entire 4G smartphone marketplace, a speedy processor, a healthy allotment of RAM system memory, and 1080P HD video recording resolution. But when the handset was first released, it carried a lofty three figure price tag. Sales certainly didn’t suffer with the higher retail price, but Sprint has decided to ensure the ongoing sales popularity of their flagship phone. Sprint recently reduced the retail price of the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch to $49 at select Sprint authorized retailers with a standard new two-year activation and data plan at select retail outlets.
Paying a budget price for a feature filled phone seldom occurs, and the 4.52 inch Super AMOLED Plus screen that renders visuals in 16 million unique colors is certainly worth the new retail price all by itself. But also on board are dual 8.0 megapixel and 2.0 megapixel cameras, 1.0 GB of RAM memory and 16 GB of built-in storage, as well as a powerful 1.2 GHz dual core Exynos processor and Mali 400 MP graphics dedicated chip, making for an impressive overall package.
