The arrival of Samsung’s Galaxy S II cell phones has been a long time period arriving. We initial saw the subsequent generation of Samsung’s preferred line of Android phones way back in February at Mobile World Congress. After a lot of prosperous several weeks in Europe, the Galaxy S II brand of mobile phones is finally arriving at U.S. shores. The very first from the mobile phones, the Samsung Epic Touch 4G ($200 having a 2-year contract with Sprint; price tag adjusted September twelve, 2011) will be readily available beginning on September 16.
Ridiculously Thin
The Epic Touch might be a bit bigger compared to previous generation of phones, but it is incredibly thin. Computing 5.1 inches by 2.7 inches by 0.38 inch, the Touch feels pretty comfy in hand and this really is received from somebody with small hands! Samsung phones have a bit of a reputation for being plasticky, plus the Epic Touch regrettably falls below that descriptor. In her practical of the Epic Touch at Samsung’s release even, my colleague remarked which it felt “less processed” compared to AT&T’s Galaxy S II version.
At the base from the phone, you’ll find the MHL port, a characteristic we’ve seen on lots of this year’s high-end smart phones. The MHL specification, which represents Mobile High Definition Link, is really a 1080p HD video and digital audio interface allowing you to connect mobile phone handsets along with other transportable gadgets (tablets, digital cameras, and the like) to High definition TVs. So what is the big issue? It simultaneously provides capability to your phone anything that HDMI cables don’t do.
Super AMOLED Plus Display
The 4.52-inch Ultra AMOLED Plus display within the Epic Touch is quite nice, but text isn’t pretty as sharp as what we saw within the European Galaxy S II. The Epic Touch’s screen is slightly bigger compared to European version (that includes a 4.3-inch screen) therefore it appears like the written text sharpness may possibly are already severely sacrificed by bigger screen real estate. The written text is still very readable, but it is anything I noticed suitable away upon using the cell phone.
Otherwise, the display’s colors appeared bright; details were crisp, as well as the watching angles were really good. Blacks were deep, and colors were highly saturated without getting overdone. Even when located in sunlight, the Epic Touch’s display always was extremely visible. Whites had a little of a bluish tint, but it wasn’t too visible. Reported by Samsung, Super AMOLED Plus features have 50 %more sub pixels compared to the first-generation Super AMOLED displays and perform a lot better than the earlier versions in bright light.
Perhaps the coolest app Samsung provides within the phone is the company’s own Kies Air. The application enables you to view call logs, video clips, pictures, bookmarks, and IMs, and send Text messages from PC. To ensure that the app to work, you will need to install it on your personal computer and be connected it to the exact same Wi-Fi circle as the phone.
Like all Galaxy S cell phones, the Epic Touch offers the Media Hub for video and TV-enjoying. Video clip looked wonderful on the handset’s display and played back efficiently. Even if you do not like Samsung’s Media Hub, you need to check out quite a bit of videos and Television shows within this phone. Unlike the European version, the Epic Touch 4G doesn’t have the Readers or Music Hub for purchasing eBooks or Tunes, respectively.
Multimedia and Apps
Due to the fact this really is a Sprint phone, you’ll find all with the usual bloat ware: Sprint Songs Plus, Sprint Radio, Sprint TV and Videos, and Sprint NASCAR. Additionally you receive a game called N.O.V.A. HD and various apps which includes Samsung’s AllShare app for sharing media channels over DLNA servers.
