The official specs for the Samsung Epic 4G have been released and it looks like this is going to be another killer Android phone. While it seems like a lot of new smartphones have been sporting enormous screens, this one keeps things a little bit more hand friendly but plenty big at 4″.
This is one of the few high powered smartphones that also feature a slide-out qwerty keyboard. The only other phones worth buying in this category are the soon to be discontinued Motorola Droid and the Droid’s successor, the Motorola Droid 2.
It also sports a 1GHZ processor so it’ll have plenty of power and speed for all your gaming and multi-tasking. (The processor is a Samsung Cortex A8 Hummingbird, for those who like to know such things)
Dual Cameras – a 5MP camera for taking pictures (with LED Flash) and 720p HD video and a front facing VGA camera for video conferencing via Qik.
4″ Super AMOLED Screen (these are pretty, but Samsung has been having trouble producing enough of them for demand and is producing them exclusively for their own phones at the moment)
512 MB RAM
4G Connectivity
16GB storage with the ability to upgrade to 32GB via microSD
All in all this is another excellent choice for those looking for a Android phone and it gives you another option if you’d like a 4G phone.

It’s still a great phone with plenty of power and these days you can get it at a big discount especially if you purchase or upgrade online.
