Samsung Epic 4G Review:

The 1GHz Hummingbird Cortex A8 processor played a vital role in launching applications and also helped in accessing to the internet. The 4G is just awesome as the high connectivity speed helps accessing the internet. The YouTube videos loading speed is also really quick than the normal 3G network. Epic 4G also had very good call quality as most of the users have never said anything against it. There were no witnesses complaining even about the background noise.

The camera quality is also impressive as the images were clear like a digital camera shot images. The LED helped in getting the images clear during the night time. The Samsung’ TouchWiz 3.0 interface is impressive as the response for the tapping is instant. Epic 4G has number of widgets which can be used to customize the home screen of the mobile.

The battery is awesome as well as the talktime is around 8 hours while the stand by time is 21 days.

The Bad:

Samsung Epic 4G is little bulky in size and the price is little high when compared to other Galaxy S phones.
