The Epic 4G Touch offers a number of hardware improvements over the first-generation of Galaxy S phones, including a better 8-megapixel camera and a front-facing 2-megapixel camera for video calls. The smartphone also is also equipped with a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, which allows for 1080p HD video capture.
The Epic 4G Touch will ship with Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread and the latest version of TouchWiz. The latter brings such improvements as more customization abilities, resizable widgets, and a more robust Social Hub.
The smartphone's display has a six-axis motion sensor and supports touch- and motion-gestures, so you can do things like flip the phone over to silence an incoming call or tilt the phone to zoom in and out.
