The Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G that was dubbed the Best New Mobile Device at last year’s 4G World Conference and Expo in Chicago, Illinois now retails for only $0.01 with a standard new two-year activation and data plan at select Sprint authorized retailers. And aside from being an award-winning device, that handset quickly became the flagship phone for the Sprint WiMAX 4G network, thanks to a speedy processor, one of the largest screens in the entire 4G smartphone marketplace, substantial RAM memory and high-resolution camcorder. And to make things even sweeter for Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G smartphone owners, Korean smartphone manufacturer Samsung recently confirmed that the Epic 4G Touch would be receiving Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) Android 4.0 operating system in an over the air update soon.

Without giving a specific launch date for that update, the verbal Epic Touch 4G ICS commitment came as part of a list that Samsung released detailing which of their mobile devices would actually receive the ICS OS in the near future.

Physically average when compared to other 4G handsets as far as shape, size and weight, the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G delivers a 4.52 inch screen and 480 x 800 pixel resolution.

Battery talk time runs an above average 8.70 hours, and standby time is 11 days.
The 1.2 GHz dual core Exynos central processor on board joins a graphics dedicated Mali 400 MP processing chip, 1.0 GB of RAM memory and 16 GB of built-in storage in the Epic 4G Touch hardware package.
