Samsung Epic 4G Touch User Reviews

had phone for over a year don't like it anymore because the speaker went out the pip i is too low and it makes it look bad but the touch wiz was pretty cool and it was pretty fast but the battery life was bad

I have had a poor experience with the phone regarding its battery and heating. Other than that it is a good phone. I just traded it in for an HTC which I am apprehensive to get. If I do not like it, I will go back and try one more time the S2

I absolutely love my Epic 4g Touch. It was the best phone I have ever owned, period. It has an amazingly swift Dual Core Exynos Processor, which keeps the phone going without slowing down. The battery life on the phone keeps up with every day use of the phone, from texts to phone calls to gaming to Netflix, I can do it all and not worry about the drain.

The call quality is great, with crystal clear incoming and outgoing signal. Can't go wrong with this.

The Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch is my first smartphone. Does that make me a smartphone dummy? No, it's actually the opposite. I have done much research and experimenting at local cellular stores to grasp a feel and knowledge about smartphones.

To be honest I at first did not like the Galaxy line. I preferred the HTC EVO line, but my family member insisted I try Samsung, so I purchased this device. I have no regrets. It is beautiful to this day. Having it for 7 months, the 4.52" Super AMOLED Plus display still captures my eyes. I really admire Samsung for installing its own dual-core 1.2ghz exynos processor into this device as I believe it makes the experience buttery smooth and fluid.

The design became a lot more simple to the eye as I kept looking at it. Before I thought it was just plain. Yes, it is constructed out of plastic, but that never bothered me. It does not feel cheap or flimsy as some people may say about plastic construction. I actually like the textured back on the battery cover as it gives it more grip and style. I feel confident that this slim slice of technology will not crush when I hold on to it with a firm grip. That's all I need.

The reception and call quality was something that I was a little more disappointed about. Where I live I don't even receive WIMAX 4G signals, but even Sprint's 3G speeds are horrid. I get at most a weak 3G signal with very slow 3G speeds, but switching to WI-FI is decent. I know that Sprint is holding back the potential of this device which isn't really fair to us, the customers. (Come on, Sprint. Work on your coverage!) But that being said, I have never experienced a drop call. The worst it gets for me is that the person sounds a little muffled. I don't like that so I tend to text, but calling hasn't been too much of a problem for me yet. It still could have been better though.

So I feel really bad for people who:
1. Receives a flawed device.
2. Doesn't know how to use the device.

Because I read so many reviews of complaint and I think of nothing, but sympathy for them because what they are dealing with is complete misunderstanding. I'm sure there are some people who truly dislikes the android experience (which then makes me wonder why they wouldn't test this at the store before purchasing), but in most cases, it sounds like user error. I myself had some user errors too.

Within the 7 months I've had this device, my phone has rebooted twice on its own, lagged greatly, heated quickly, and drained the battery in an instant. I went back to factory settings and after being more careful with the apps I download from the store and taking better cautions, my device is still running buttery smooth. Because of incorrect charging in the past and because of me being lazy to buy a new battery and charger, my phone still tends to heat up a bit faster than normal, but I can keep it until I upgrade to the 3rd galaxy coming next month!

This phone is great! Just wish I had the white one instead lol.

I got two of these phones, one for me and my husband each. He was a DIE HARD HTC EVO user, and swore no phone on the market could ever compare to his. It was like trying to take a lions temperature with no sedatives when I was trying to talk him into gettting a new phone. But we did it! And we are more than thrilled! This phone had a lot to prove to us. After having the following phones for the past few years, we knew exactly what we do and do not want in a cell phone..... The Samsung Instinct, HTC Hero, HTC Evo, HTC Evo Shift, Samsung Epic 4g, Samsung Nexus S 4g, and the Motorola Photon. After owning all of those phones, here's what I LOVE about my new Samsung Galaxy S2 (Epic 4g Touch)... The screen /UI is so crystal clear it amazes me every time I look at it. The ease of being able to slide the lock screen in any direction, not just a swipe in a certain spot on the phone, makes everyone look twice at my phone. The unbelievable crystal clear camera and easy to use zoon makes this the best camera I have evr had on a phone. It is fast and there is almost NO lag between pictures. Another big deal here is the time between touching an app and it actually opening up. Let's see, there's NO TIME!. Apps seems to open up instantly, I mean they almost open BEFORE you touch them! Can this phone read minds? Ok, seriously, the battery seems to last forever when you aren't actively using your phone all day, which is nice to know you wont walkin in hours after having a half battery and find it dead. You have to constantly play with it or use it hourly consistantly to be able to wear out the battery. The phone comes with 16GB of memory installed, and I added another 16gb card, which so far I am sure I will ever actually use. Oh and before I forget, the screenshot capture is perfect. I have used it multiple times so far! The only thing I could complain about is the power button. I do not like how it feels when you press it, and I do not like it's location. I thought before I got the phone that I wouldn't like the overall size of the phone, even the HTC EVO seemed too big for my taste, but the slim build and light weight and big screen make up for the overall size. I am 100% happy with this phone, and don't ever want to switch phones again!

I am very happy with my purchase. I use to have an Iphone4, night and day! I have no regrets changing my phones, although I heard the Iphone6 is suppose to be pretty good. We will see on that too. If you are into a name brand and not quality, Iphone. If you want everything, GalaxyS2. The scroll speed is crazy too... Very, very happy camper! :-) I am a phone man!

I never give a phone tens but this phone deserves it (despite a few minor cons I will discuss later). I switched from an Evo 4G which I really liked but this phone is in a class by itself. It was between this phone and the iPhone 4s. I am certain I made the right choice. Not only does this phone handle websites like YouTube much better than even my iPad can, but it is a great phone experience as well as a great web browser The phone does have a few cons. As I mention I do not like the power button position. It is opposite the volume controls and I keep lowering the volume when hitting the power button. The thin textured plastic back does feel a little flimsy on the black model. Although on the white model the smooth textured back actually feels much more solid and higher end. It is hard to describe how different the two versions feel. The white model reminds me very much of a huge version of my old white iPhone 3s. There is no HDMI port but I never used the one on my EVO. There is also a lack of good covers, but I have found covers cause more damage than they prevent when dust gets in them. None of these issues are major and none detract from the phone deserving a 10 when compared to other phones.

Ok first off i had the evo evo 3d and this blows both away. i charged my phone the other day and when i finally had to charge again my phone was up for 38hrs yes 38. I don't know where people are getting the idea to use a task killer you do not use a task killer on any android with 2.2 or above it will ruin your phone. All you have to do is when you are done with app hit the back button and it will close it. People also read your post before posting it learn how to spell.

i'M ALSO A Sprint user.. and when I got this phone, there was nothing better out there.. The only problem with it, is the network it is in.. All around a very solid smartphone, but reception suffers a bit cause of Sprint..

Other then that, as long as there is a good signal, this phone is perfect..

If Samsung could somehow steal iOS 5's keyboard, this would be a phone to easily rival any other on the market. Unfortunately, simply because of the keyboard, I would recommend the 4S. If the keyboard is comfortable for you, I would suggest looking no further for an Android device- This phone is fast, powerful, and has a very nice display.

Epic 4G Touch, the first variant of Samsung Galaxy S II in the States, is perhaps the best phone in U.S. right now.

I think the overall build quality is not that great, due to its plastic construction, but it is very light weight and thin. However, I personally do not like plastic construction on phones.

Also, the PHONE itself is decent- decent reception and call quality. Although both ends of the line has good voices, but I think it is not that loud and sometimes boisterous sound bothers me a bit.

Overall, good phone. But is it the best for the next few months? No. However, at 199.99 from Sprint and from other resellers like WireFly and Best-Buy Mobile (even cheaper), you won't go wrong.

Most impressive phone out there... speeds, display, screen size, lightweight, picture and video quality are just amazing.
I had the Evo 3D before this one,,, played with one GS2(T-Mobile version) that my buddy had,,, 2 one week after, I sold my 3D to get this "BEAST".
No regrets... so far I love it.

...this phone is SUPER FAST and i have had maybe 3 dropped calls since i have had it.But,this is not the fault of the phone,its WiMAX. The screen is second to none which is one of the main reasons i purchased this device.

its performance is great. It can seamlessly multitask and gets reception pretty well. The display is also amazing. The only con is its battery. This 1.2ghz super amoled+ beast will suck you dry if your not careful. Don't get me wrong, it is certainly no worse than any other smartphones. I found that using airplane mode and adjusting the brightness when you plan on using it extensively counteracts it pretty well. Do not let the battery scare you, this is a great phone and a must buy. Good call sprint.

The phone works great touchwiz really stepped their game up, overall great phone only bad thing is that it has horrible reception and the wifi is bit spotty. And als
o something that im not a big fan of is the power button being on the side instead of the top

Let me start by saying beautiful phone. Awesome display! I love this phone. Unfortunately this phones reception sucks. Constantly has one bar when my wires EVO has full bars. Also struggles on WiFi. Wires phone is full and mine only has two bars. The voicemail is just terrible. Extremely fast and beautiful phone but doesn't work.

This is the best phone bar none for sprint. The screen is imacculate (from all tilt directions), the UI is full throttle, power users will go a whole day, and it's well priced. I thought I'd be missing a qwerty after departing from a bb curve 8330, however, that is not the case. In 4 hours I was able to fiqure out the functions of the phone, how to add/remove apps and widgets, and make it "my phone". It didn't take long at all for me to become proficeint with the touch screen.

I was deciding between this phone, the bb bold touch, and the photon. This has everything: a better battery (marginally less than photon), bigger screen, android, 4G, and 1 GB of RAM (can't tell you how big of a deal this is). I'm so glad I was so undecisive for the last 2 months and this phone popped out!

Don't waste your time, pull the trigger here. Your waiting has paid off.

*You can max your battery life to your usage needs by downloading "Android App Killer" for free. It is a pro app shut down tool to save your resources.

First off I came from the Samsung epic 4g/ SGS1, All i can say is that this SGS2 earns the name Epic. Like everybody has been saying i notice no lag at all, not even when i turn the phone landscape while multitasking. The screen is so beautifully big I thought the battery would not last me a day, boy was i wrong! The battery lasted me a day and a half! Best battery i have ever seen on android yet. I actually use the internet browser on my phone now because i can get to a web page with out nodding off waiting for pages to load. If you are looking for a phone that is fast, has good battery, and beautiful screen then this is definitely the phone for you hands down!

it is the phone that I has been waiting for , it is not perfect , but it is closest to the perfection. I had the motorola photon and I was starting to lost my faith in Google phones , because the photon lags a lot. but this one , the samsung g II S , it is just incredible , smooth , it doesn't lag at all after a lost of apps, full of color , camera amazing, battery life amazing too so I am not waiting for the iphone anymore. I has the phone that I like , light, capable , huge memory, doesn't lag and I just love it

after installing a task killer app the phone has returned to be as smooth and great as was in the beginning so I am changing again the score to 10 !!!!!!

addendum: after a week of using it I am chaging my mind regards the phone , it gets reallllllly hgot sometiime I had to remove the battery beacuse I though it will explode in my pocket and also the lbattery doesnt last a day for me , with very mild use. I mean the android phones at the beginning all are good and after you put apps and activate all the service they become sluggish ( no this one ) but that one it is so hot it looks an app anyway as soon as the iphone gets out I will get it at the end of the they the iphone is just stressless

By far the superior Android offering I've owned. Fast, amazing screen and when in 4g, speeds are more than necessary. The dual-core processor allows for little hesitation switching between tasks, and likewise, multi-tasking goes beyond what I've seen previous. This phone is a catch. Battery lasted 12 hours with 30% left, after good use, streaming music, browsing the web and messaging. Don't hesitate to get this.
