The Galaxy S II is one of the best selling handsets of the last couple of years, and has delivered a stellar year for Samsung. That handset was first released in Europe and Asia, and quickly jumped out to total sales of 10 million units in only its first five months of availability. However, it was just reaching his stride, and once it hit the United States, global sales rocketed to a 30 million units. The Samsung Epic Touch 4G handset is the Galaxy S II version available from Sprint, and was the first Samsung Galaxy S II model available in the US.
That handset was recently awarded the coveted Best New 4G Mobile Device blue ribbon at the 4G World Conference in Chicago, and delivers one of the largest displays in the entire smartphone marketplace. The 4.52 inch Super AMOLED Plus screen delivers 480 x 800 pixel resolution, and delivers visuals in 16 million colors to the capacitive multitouch display.

The hardware set on board contains an Exynos chip set, a dual core 1.2 GHz central processor working with a Mali 400 MP graphics processing unit. 1.0 GB of RAM memory and 16 GB of built-in storage round out the hardware package. A microSD slot is available for storage expansion, and a microUSB slot is built in for charging the device. Average in size and weight for a 4G smartphone, the Sprint Epic Touch 4G measures 5.11 x 2.74 x 0.38 inches (130 x 70 x 10 mm) and weighs 4.60 ounces (130 g).
Talk time from a single battery charge runs an above average 8.70 hours on the 1800 mAh cell, and the camera combo on the Epic Touch 4G is the same as is found in other Galaxy S II models. A front facing 2.0 megapixel chat cam joins a rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder which records video at 1080P HD resolution. That front facing chat cam can also be used for video calls, and captures video at 720P HD resolution. The built-in music player filters by album, artist, and play list, and a proprietary YouTube video player has been pre-installed. Popular social media applications Facebook, Picasa and Twitter are also on board.
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 Epic Touch 4G retails for $79 at select Sprint authorized retailers with a standard two-year activation, making it the least expensive of all the US Galaxy S II versions. That handset delivers Android’s 2.3.4 Gingerbread operating system out-of-the-box, and is exclusive to the Sprint WiMAX 4G wireless network.
