Sprint Epic 4G Review

Think no hallucinations, Sprint 4G smartphone is finally available with its fully loaded spec as may be as thin as ice rink, but that doesn’t mean the Samsung Epic 4G gets a VIP card access to our minds; there’s plenty of stronghold anchors as well as competition among the smartphone ecosystem, even if you’re restricting your area of selections to devices running the Android OS. Some – like the Nexus One – get Android updates sooner, while others – like the DROID X – have bigger screens and super attractive-resolution cameras. Hardware keyboards may be, but the Epic 4G isn’t alone in that track either, may be an unimaginable predator for some companies.

Still, with a Super AMOLED display, tough high-speed connectivity and all Samsung’s multimedia bells, the Epic 4G certainly stands a great chance of being Sprint’s best smartphone, with great virtuosic gestures! You can check out all the full review also. It’s a hefty chunk version of matte and gloss finish black and silver plastic, extremely wider than the DROID X, and with Samsung eschewing metal but still opting for premium materials that feel suitably high-end. We’d generally prefer metal construction, but the weight impact on the Epic 4G would likely have been significant (already it’s 5.46oz). Intelligence endowing, up top there’s a 3.5mm headphone socket together with a microUSB port covered with a sliding door; on the left edge is the volume rocker and on the right the power/lock key and a camera shortcut. Under the Teflon-coated bowed back panel is a microSD slot, with Samsung including a 16GB card in the box and the Epic 4G supporting up to 32GB cards (utilitarian)? There’s also the sizeable 1,500mAh battery for you, no sense or attitude of introversion in it!!

Most eye-rolling is the Epic 4G’s super stunning display, with Samsung still keeping their latest breed of Super AMOLED displays to themselves, potential unfolding type. Just about measuring 4-inches and running at WVGA resolution, it’s a bigger panel but with fewer pixels than you’d find fronting the iPhone 4. Still, while it’s no Retina Display, it’s altogether an enjoyable experience in daily use. Colors & contrast are both astounding, viewing sharp angles are broad and, unlike regular AMOLED panels, the Epic 4G can be used outdoors without demanding you shade it entirely. Shall we call it a complex paneling and embellishment in ingeniously unusual pattern of colors?

Under the touchscreen is a row of tip-touch-sensitive keys – menu, home, back and search – as on the Vibrant and Captivate, though no D-pad or optical enthralling joystick. We most miss that type of super control when trying to edit text, but of course with a flick the Epic 4G unplugs its complete QWERTY keyboard. The scale of the smartphone means there’s rife of room for buttons, and Samsung hasn’t held back: the five-row ‘board (with dedicated number row) is flanked by menu and back buttons on the left, and home and search buttons on the right side. The keys themselves offer a very impressive typing experience, being palpable and providing just the right resistance and they’re well spaced too, for most of the comfort

Parable enactment type but we feel hyper confident in calling the Samsung Epic 4G the best smartphone on the Sprint network today. That success is primarily the multiplication of the top sky Super AMOLED display, excellent keyboard and speedy WiMAX connectivity, isn’t it significance accruing? The only compromise is TouchWiz, and we wish Samsung would finally concede that not everyone appreciates its skin texture and provide a way to return to the native Android UI. If you can live with it, you’ll have a highly capable, total flexible and media-rich handset, although one slightly on the back foot when it comes to the latest build of Google’s OS. Still, that’s a monotonous complaint amongst the modified devices on the market. Out of the magic box, Sprint’s Epic 4G does everything we could ask for; but it could raise its barometers to the great metaphoric possibility of heights.
