Samsung 4G Epic Touch

Note Editors': Some of this review, our assessment has been unlocked Samsung S Galaxy II.

While the rest of the world have appreciated the Samsung S Galaxy II for some time now, the U.S. had to sit and wait his turn. Fortunately, the time has finally come, and will be available through Android superphone multiple carriers this fall. Sprint is the first in the door, starts the Samsung 4G Epic Touch, September 16 for $ 199.99 with a two-year contract. As the successor to the popular Samsung Epic 4G, loses the QWERTY keyboard smartphone, but getting a fast dual-core processor, larger and sharper touchscreen AMOLED Super Plus, better cameras and more. The phone is on the long side, which will keep some in check, but for those who can manage the size, 4G Epic Touch does not disappoint.

Design

5.1 cm long, 2.7 cm wide, the Samsung 4G Epic Touch is a great device. Width difficult to grab the phone, especially if you have smaller hands, and not the laptop that fits in your pocket trousers. It is not natural for everyone. That said, as Samsung Infuse 4G, is also quite thin and light, just 0.38 inches thin and 4.5 ounces, so the smartphone is easier to manage than you might think.

In addition, you may be willing to deal with larger dimensions of the phone when you get a glimpse of 4.52-inch WVGA (800x480) AMOLED touch-Super Plus. The display spacious and bright colors make it ideal for viewing and multimedia sites. There is a screen a little more pronounced there, such QHD (960x540 pixels) display on the Motorola Photon 4G, images and text is not as smooth, but we still found the touch screen easy to Epic 4G read.

The touch screen is responsive. The smartphone offers virtual keyboards and Samsung Swype. He recorded all of our faucets, and we were able to easily navigate through menus. In addition to using standard touch interface, you can also use motion gestures on Epic Touch 4G. With the setting enabled, you can return the phone to silent. With two fingers on the screen, you can tilt and zoom out in the Gallery and the browser. Flip your wrist left or right (PAN) can move an icon on the home screen when you are holding. Double-clicking the top of your voice is being prepared for implementation Talk motor Vlingo voice commands while driving. However, pan and zoom are not as sensitive as we would like. While most motion controls can be included in daily use, this type of feature adds options welcoming gesture in general.

The screen is touch-sensitive buttons for menu, back, back, and search functions. The left side has a volume rocker, while the right spine has a power / lock button. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack on top of the camera and a micro-USB port on the bottom. In the right corner, just above the screen is an LED indicator light and the left-hand corner is a 2-megapixel camera for video calls. On the back of the phone is an 8 megapixel camera and an LED flash.

There is a microSD expansion slot behind the battery compartment. The latter is a model, so that the phone does not seem so slippery, but like many first Samsung smartphone, the Touch 4G Epic is the plastic build. Some metal parts or details could reach it feels more premium handset.

Sprint Samsung 4G Epic Touch packages only basic accessories, including AC adapter, USB cable, and the source material.

User Interface

The Epic Samsung 4G Android Touch 2.3.4 works with Samsung TouchWiz Gingerbread 4.0 User interface above. We are often less enthusiastic about the custom interfaces - which sometimes adds to the complexity of applications and removable side and are often slower to date with new OS versions. However, some things TouchWiz 4.0 has in its favor, some reports from previous versions of TouchWiz. There are seven home screens, for example, and the notification from the dropdown menu has icons to easily turn on the 4G Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and sound profiles.

Adapting the home screens are facilitated with a facility like this carousel lets you navigate through the various panels to add and remove shortcuts and widgets at the same time. Previously, you had to do a long press on a screen to change, then repeat the process if you want to change to another room. Now you can also resize the widgets panel Samsung Live and there is a more fluid movement when scrolling through lists of widgets and websites.

Some of the changes are purely cosmetic, but add a little polish to the user interface. There are also some useful additions, as well as an integrated Task Manager shows all running applications, applications downloaded the uninstall option, the state of the system RAM and storage. It is also great: the ability of today's screenshots by pressing the power button and key at the same time.
