The Samsung Epic 4G is larger than the other Galaxy phones, but for a good reason. You’ll get so many extras with this phone that you may not mind the high price at all. This phone comes with a glossy black finish and measures 4.9 x 2.54 x 0.56 inches and weighs 5.46 ounces. The Epic is a little bulky and heavy, but when you consider all of the features you get with this phone the size is understandable.
On the front of the Samsung Epic 4G there is a 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen. With this display you can easily view text and colors are bright and beautiful. It is even easy to see when in sunlight. With this phone you will also get a slide out QWERY keyboard, along with a virtual keyboard that you can use on the display.
Some of the features that you’ll get with the Samsung Epic 4G include support for 3G, as well as 4G. You also get WiFi, plus this phone will service as a WiFi hotspot for up to 5 wireless devices. For basic features the Epic comes with conference calling, a speakerphone, voice dialing, visual voice mail, as well as text and multimedia messaging.
