greetings all this is Dickie Adams with pocketnow.com and today we're taking a special look at the sprint samsung galaxy s2 Epic 4G Touch so sit back relax and enjoy the show now the galaxy s2 Epic 4G Touch or let's just call it the epic touch for sake of time is the first galaxy s2 phone in the United States's this bonus must come out September 16th it's a highly sought after or a thought after device based upon what the reviews have been saying about the galaxy s2 by itself so let's go ahead and open up the box take a look we find standard sprint box here and here's the device itself just set that aside we'll come back to in a second take off the cover here we've got our paperwork manuals guides and a little plastic baggie to send back your now sad phone that doesn't live up to this phone and a USB charging cable sync cable and the wall warts now the Epic 4G Touch has a 4.5 2 inch screen it's WVGA 800 by 480 pixels it's got 4 capacitive touch buttons on the front front facing camera you all know what that is I hope volume rocker on the side with a little lanyard hole over here on the back we've got an 8 megapixel camera with a flash speakerphone port power button and then if we pop the back off here top here we can see the headphone jack the battery is 50 to 800 I'm sorry 1800 milliamp hour battery of 800 million better we've kind of worthless micro SD card slot but no included micro SD card so you can't expanded the memory but nothing is included by default the back cover is kind of is got a bit of a textured feel to it slides into place here step back back on it's a little slick and kind of shiny but the textured feel or look is kind of nice it's got a little bit of a bump back here just go ahead and turn this device on and we'll take a look at what's inside there you'll see DMA only phone with a WiMAX 4G obviously dual core Exynos twelve hundred megahertz processor it's got a gig of ram slide that open here we can see this nice screen it moves very very smoothly the screen is nice and bright from what I can see so far launch the applications here keyboard is nice and big which would be nice for not having the keyboard as a slide-out let's take a look at the settings here so it's running Android 2.3.4 which we expected and as far as available memory now that device is already started up as you can see there's no SD card in there again total space it says is 11.5 gigs and that's would be the available space as well looks to be a very solid device it feels very lightweight in the hands in fact the weight of this device it clocks in at about 129 grams or 4.55 ounces the device dimensions is 5 by 2 point 7 by 0.3 8 is one of the smallest phones on the market today compared to say the Droid 3 you can see that this device is just a tad longer obviously just a little bit wider and considerably thinner especially it's about the size of the keyboard of the Droid 3 as far as thickness goes so the Epic 4G Touch is supposed to be available on Sprint on the 16th of September 2011 for $1.99 on a two-year contract there are other sites that have been announcing some very similar pricing and some with a little bit cheaper but really an overall good price for this newer device that's just coming out the one thing I didn't forget to mention is that the a megapixel camera can do 1080p video recording which we'll try out in the full review so that wraps up our unboxing of the Samsung Galaxy test to Epic 4G Touch from Sprint man is going to take a lot to say that every time if you have any questions or comments or would like to see something specific about the hardware or software on this device leave a message below and we'll try to cover those items specifically thanks for watching
