The Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone has drawn the ire and attention of Apple’s legal team, and the respect and admiration of 4G smartphone shoppers all around the globe. Samsung first released the device in Asia and Europe, and that particular handset flew off of both brick-and-mortar and virtual store shelves to the tune of ten million units its first five months of availability. With anticipation building up here in the United States, the tech hungry consumers of North America instantly jumped upon the Epic Touch 4G offered by Sprint on September 16 of last year, the first Samsung Galaxy S II model to be offered in the United States.

And aside from simply being a device popular with the consumer, that same Epic Touch 4G has received the praise of industry analysts and experts as well.

An above average talk time of 8.70 hours is delivered from a single charge of the 1800 mAh cell, and standby time runs 11 days.
