Samsung Epic 4G Touch Review

The Samsung Epic 4G Touch is going to be supplied exclusively from Sprint on Friday, September 16. features consist of the 4.52-inch very AMOLED as well as touchscreen display, a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 3G/4G system compatibility, Wi-Fi, and two cameras: 8 megapixel inside the back again and two megapixel for movement image calls inside the front.Customers can pre-order the cell by buying a $50 Sprint treat card in store and setting up an appointment to finish the purchase inside the start date. The Epic 4G Touch will market for $200 getting a brand name new two-year provider contract.

The reliable Galaxy S II – which we reviewed all the way in which back again in April – was a quite straightforward phone: big, vivid and multi-colored screen, quickly 1.2GHz dual-core processor and splendid camera, all wrapped up in the super-slim casing. for that EPIC 4G Touch, Samsung has executed merely a tiny tweaking to that formula, and now the cell has an even bigger display. The very AMOLED as well as panel is even now as color-saturated and contrast abundant as before, but is now 4.52-inches instead of 4.3-inches.

An adjustment that'll undoubtedly get noticed, though, is going to be the Epic's bump in show sizing to 4.5 inches, a complete two-tenths of an inch of extra genuine estate inside the display to think about benefit of Samsung's multi-colored very AMOLED as well as technology. Adding a whole 4 mm to its width, the system doesn't really feel a whole great offer wider within our arms when in comparison in the direction of original, contrary to our darkest fears; in fact, it nestles within our average-sized mitts quite comfortably, although we are able to undoubtedly recognize that anybody getting a whole great offer more petite palms might not experience the identical type of luck.

Also optimistic to acquire some attention is going to be the normal alter in navigation buttons, with all three US designs opting to take advantage of 4 capacitive touchscreen buttons right here instead belonging in the direction of global's three-button layout consisting of the bodily home essential in in between the capacitive menu and back again buttons. The fourth button, missing completely inside the original, is going to be the research key. Frankly, we have been expecting to ascertain this layout inside the domestic variants -- the 1st Galaxy S mobile phones introduced in spite of the actuality that in the US last twelve weeks opted for that very same setup, to not mention that products introduced in spite of the actuality that in the US seldom depart from this four-button system. Sorry folks, should you loathe the research essential that much, it appears that the only assortment is going to be the unlocked version.

The Epic 4G Touch took some other liberties to spice up the Galaxy S II design. The corners are slightly a whole great offer more rounded, the speaker grill is becoming moved from ideal to left (and mic from left to right), the display lock / energy key has moved closer in the direction of best ideal corner in add-on to the electronic camera is shaped like an oval instead of the rectangle, using the lens and LED flash oriented up / affordable instead of left / right. And preceding to we forget, the inclusion of an LED notification mild -- not current in spite of the actuality that in the reliable -- is truly a minor however extremely welcome change, permitting us to swiftly see that people possess a brand name new concept awaiting us. There undoubtedly are a few other obvious adjustments that experienced to acquire produced below the battery include as well; contemplating how the Epic 4G Touch is truly a CDMA-based cell without any globally GSM roaming features (a place that may dissuade intercontinental travelers from choosing it), the SIM card slot is notably missing in add-on to the microSD port has slid much more than to think about its place.

The 8-megapixel electronic camera inside the Galaxy S II persists to be between one of the most perfect smartphone shooters around, in add-on to the EPIC 4G Touch is small different. even now pictures are vivid and clear, colours accurate, using the handset fast to lock focus. it is effortless to frame images too, supplied the huge show which is vivid enough to acquire witnessed outdoors. The LED flash is, as always, the weakest place – getting underwhelming in comparison to, say, a appropriate Xenon – however it is excellent enough to create closer nighttime shots a possibility. Video, meanwhile, is recorded at as a whole great offer as complete HD resolution, and is also smooth and jag-free.

We took some genuinely exquisite pictures using the Epic 4G Touch at complete resolution, many thanks in the direction of plethora of a range of electronic camera settings available: ISO, metering, concentrate modes, panoramic shots jointly with other shooting modes have been all graciously included. We experienced loads of fulfilling producing utilization of the macro mode, which permitted us to think about some exceptional shots from the range of perspectives that people just haven't been in a location to hold out from extremely a number of other phones. Our pictures of flowers, grass, as well as wheat fields turned out a whole great offer more finely detailed than we have been expecting. Additionally, the overpowered LED flash inside the system completely wowed us; not merely do it consider extremely vivid pictures in spite of the actuality that in the dark, it also knew when to take advantage of the flash when getting the image and when to take advantage of it just to arranged the focus.

Samsung Epic 4G Touch Review

We have been bracing ourselves for just about any disappointment using the Epic 4G Touch, however the end result was truly just as pleasing -- if not even a whole great offer more so -- compared to reliable Samsung Galaxy S II. performance junkies and display fanatics likewise is going to be pleased to ascertain how the identical spirit lies within of the two devices, in spite of between the two getting tied affordable to some particular carrier. intercontinental travelers could possibly be one of the most impacted from the company's choice to leave out a r / c for globally GSM roaming, but otherwise it's a dependable, sleek, and fulfilling cell to take advantage of with extremely few of negatives -- that is saying a whole great offer for just about any handheld device. since the powerhouse on Sprint's system and an ambassador belonging in the direction of "Galaxy S II" name in spite of the actuality that in the US, the Epic 4G Touch is undoubtedly worthy to bear the everlasting branding that sits inside the battery cover.
