Last Updated: September 13th, 2011

The freshly announced Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch, or as I like to call it, Get-In-My-Belly, is my next Sprint device, replacing the now senile EVO 4G with its state-of-the-art gorgeous 4.52" screen and blazing fast Exynos dual cores sprinting at 1.2GHz each. Sure, the Prime may be on the horizon, but who knows when or if it will be announced on Sprint at all? In the meantime, the Epic 4G Touch is almost here to tower over all competition.

The September 16th launch date is fast approaching, and today Wirefly, one of the top online mobile retailers, launched the Epic 4G Touch pre-orders for those who want to claim these beats ASAP.

Galaxy SII Variants For Sprint, AT&T, And T-Mobile Officially Announced - Coming Mid-September

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S II, News, Samsung

The official Galaxy S II press conference has only just begun (it's streaming live now), but all 3 carriers we've been expecting to see the S II on - Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile - have already sent out their press releases.

The Galaxy SII is already available in Europe and Korea, debuting as Samsung's fastest selling smartphone to date. The 3 variants in the U.S. will share many of the same specs, but some aspects, such as the screen sizes, battery capacities, and mobile radios, will be different.

Here are some of the common specs:

Blazing fast 1.2GHz dual-core Exynos processor
Super AMOLED Plus display
8MP camera capable of 1080p video - the S II takes some of the best video we've seen on any phone
2MP front-facing camera
16GB built-in storage
microSD card slot with support for 32GB
HDMI out at 1080p
Android 2.3 (most likely 2.3.4)
4G of some kind (HSPA+ on T-Mobile and AT&T, WiMax on Sprint)
802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi
On-device encryption of user data
Voice Talk voice commands (this is not the same as Google Voice Search)
Screen Capture built right in (press the Power+Home keys simultaneously)

One specific spec worth highlighting is Samsung's Exynos processor, which should be quite a bit faster than the Tegra 2 that most dual-core phones have been using so far (with the exception of the TI OMAP on a few models).

[Updated: Full Specs Added] 4.52-Inch Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch For Sprint Revealed Ahead Of Today's Event

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S II, News, Sprint

We've all been waiting for weeks - nay, months - for Sammy to bring the Galaxy S II to the US. Announcement day is finally upon us despite a bit of a delay due to bad weather, but Sammy has already revealed the Sprint version of the GSII, named the Epic 4G Touch, ahead of tonight's event.

The Epic 4G Touch will sport a larger, 4.52-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, verses the 4.3-inch screen of its global counterpart. This version will also include 4G WiMax connectivity and the familiar 1.2GHz Exynos processor.

While we were hoping for a bump in processing speed up to 1.5GHz, the larger display is definitely a welcome addition.

Samsung Epic Touch 4G (Sprint's Galaxy S II) Press Shots Leaked: It's A Looker

Posted by Jaroslav Stekl in Epic 4G Touch, News, Samsung, Sprint

Samsung's NYC event may have been rescheduled for August 30th, but that doesn't mean you'll have to wait till Tuesday to see the US versions of the Galaxy S II. We've already gotten a sneak peek at the visages of AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint's editions of the phone, and now (once again courtesy of Pocketnow) another press shot has been leaked:

This is, of course, the Epic Touch 4G - Sprint's version of the device. It looks like Big Yellow has done thankfully little tweaking of the GSII: unlike most modern smartphones, there's no logo on the front of the device, and the handset appears to be just as svelte as its European counterpart.

The Stars Have Aligned - The First Samsung Galaxy S II In The U.S. To Arrive September 9th, 2011?

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S II, Rumors, Samsung, Sprint

Last Updated: August 30th, 2011

After months of anticipation, we are now finally on the verge of the Galaxy S II launch in the U.S. Yesterday's events now have us strongly convinced that the first variant of the Galaxy S II, most likely on Sprint (as the recently approved by the FCC Epic Touch 4G, if you remember), will be launching Friday, September 9th, 2011.

Clue #1

First, today we received a tip from a trusted source inside Sprint, putting the 9/9/11 date on the radar with a very high probability. The source has always been reliable in the past, and the only way I see the scenario not playing out would be if between now and the 9th Sprint cancelled the launch and pushed off the release date.

Rumor: Sprint Getting The Galaxy S II In September, To Be Called The Epic Touch 4G

Posted by David Ruddock in Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S II, News, Rumors, Samsung, Sprint

Last Updated: August 30th, 2011

Well, the Galaxy S II rumors are really starting to heat up stateside. Earlier today, BGR let loose a tip that Sprint may be getting its own Galaxy S II-based handset as early as next month (September), and that it will be dubbed the 'Epic Touch 4G.' This obviously implies that the device will not share the physical QWERTY keyboard of its etymological ancestor, the Epic 4G.

The phone will also feature Sprint's WiMAX 4G - which raises another big question: just how should Sprint subscribers reconcile the carrier's planned adoption of LTE with yet another WiMAX handset on the way?

Sprint's Q3 Roadmap Leaked - Samsung Epic 2 And "Full Touch 4G" Device In The Pipeline

Posted by Jaroslav Stekl in Epic 4G Touch, Samsung, Sprint

The EVO 3D just came out today, but it looks like HTC's new flagship won't be the last high-end Android phone to grace Sprint store shelves this year. Quite the contrary - according to This is my next, whose editors have a nearly spotless track record where leaks are concerned, "Big Yellow" is gearing up to launch two new Android handsets, this time from Samsung: the Epic 2 and an as-of-yet nameless "full touch 4G" device.

The Epic 2, as its name implies, will be the successor to last year's Epic 4G. Sadly, This is my next reports that the phone will be a marginal improvement at best - its processor is still a single-core Hummingbird chip (though the clock speed is now 1.2GHz, as opposed to the original's 1GHz), and its screen is still 4 inches.
