Samsung Epic 4G - User Reviews

  • lol

  • Can you buy minutes for this phone, not use sprint?

  • Hahaha, that's funny hahaha.

  • I am a SPRINT REPRESENTATIVE, I have a customer who is asking if it is possible to play CLASH of CLANS in this phone? :D

  • mean to say can play asphalt and gta :)

  • the phone was like really slow when i got it ,every app failed or crashed it drove me crazy but then i rooted the phone and now am running 4.2.2 and the phone is moving at the speed of sound now , with no laggs and i cant play asphalt 8 and gta now :) plus the performance is now 5 times better

  • Locks up, of course this is now 2014. Have to take battery out frequently.

  • to update this phone u must download Samsung Kies (found at samsung.com) and when u plug the phone in while kies is running..(after u download it) it will prompt u to update. Then u just allow update. Easy peazy lemon squeezy. if it does not prompt u to update for some reason, just go thru menu options till u find "update firmware"...like where it has ( file. options edit help ) at the top of the page. Good luck and happy updating.

  • very good

  • this phone has been great as a wi/fi only device, but sucks as a regular phone, when i turn on the 4g, it erases my memory card, the AMOLED screen looks as green as a set of night vision goggles, it locks up frequently, this unit has the best keyboard i have seen on a phone tho, but unless you are getting it used, for under $50.00, or so run from this phone, like the plague....

  • Hey!!!! Friends can anyone assisst me that this phone can be upgraded to andriyod sandwich,i.e.,4.0?? Also,can u suggesst me that who is the winner when this phone is compared with sony ericsson xperia pro MK16i

  • Yes......it will work not only with gsm but any gsm network worldwide!!!!

  • used this phone for almost 8months, now I am facing display issues, when i open the slider the display goes mad, the local repair shop says the problem is with the connector inside (slider connector) which is not available, need help

  • According to phonescoop, it is WiMAX 2500 CDMA 850 / 1900. It cannot be used as GSM. It is ashame as I have a Sidekick 4G running Froyo 2.2 while this phone is already on the latest CyanogenMod.

  • I have a Kodak charger and it charges the phone just fine

  • Awesome phone bought a used one yesterday. Haven't had any problems what so ever. One thing I noticed is that it will not charge unless your using a samsung charger.

  • can this phone be use as gsm

  • can this phone work on a GSM network? plz reply i really want to know.

  • The specs on this phone are so similar to the Sidekick 4G. I am thinking of using parts of the Cyanogen 6.2 rom of this phone to create a custom Froyo rom for the Sidekick over at xda. It will be my first attempt...crossing my fingers.

  • awesome phone....i have got it an really works amazing thanks samsung for such a nice phone

  • Mobile TV? I'snt this a China Phone?

  • Right!!!!.....I've looked everywhere

  • thst nice and godd terminal.

  • Don't know about that but this phone specifically is well made and lasts. I still use mine and it's running a custom kernal overclocked to 1.2ghz and it is stable.

  • can i buy this in singapore

  • No shit!! what doesnt?? excatly why i never update my iphone.

  • Every subsequent update has shortened battery life.

  • DO slide phones stop working quicker than say a touch screen phone?

  • plz can u tell me about its battery timing ?? its bad or good

  • I'm Indonesian, i m im going replace my motorola droid x2 to this one :D ,sorry for my english

  • yap... it is not for indonesian market. but you can buy the 2nd hand in kaskus.us buying n selling forum. much seller offer it there, with low price enough i think.

  • As far I know, originally this phone not for sale in Indonesia, yet. I have it from my friend in 2nd condition. This phone can be unlock to use Indonesian local provider. I like it. Good phone... :)

  • is the phone already available in Indonesia ?

  • I guess u cant use this in europe sorry.

  • i have had this phone for 6 months, at first i liked it so i will give an 8 for the design, a 6 for the futures and a 4 for the performance(issues in getting updates and the Battery sucks bad...) now i have a motorola photon for 1 month and is the best so far...

  • Does it have GSM Support? I'm considering to buy this phone, but i'm confused whether it has GSM support or not. I wanted to buy this cause i read its spec in this site has gsm support which is suitable in Indonesia. CDMA coverage here is suck, make the phone such burning.

  • Where can i buy this in or near Holland?

  • everyone know the price?then. . how much?

  • Best Smartphone I have ever had!

  • I have had this phone for over a year now and have not found a FM radio anywhere on it

  • if u wanna write any good(about epic 4g) then post here... other fuck off dude!!!!

  • I have had this phone for almost a year and i got to say it is a great phone, it supports all games ive seen/heard about, i can video chat, i got over 5 gigs of music on it (with my 16g SD card i bought for 10 dollars) it has a slide keyboard so i dont have to mess up texting with the strictly touch screen keyboard. it serves all purposes for me, although its not as fast as some of the newer phones ive seen, dunno how much this phone is now but when i bought it, it was 700 dollars and i got it for 250-300 when i signed up for a 2 yr contract with sprint and that was back in december of 2010

  • Perfect SmartPhone!

  • Just go this phone for a g2. It is amazing

  • When I email from this phone, it shows the HTML formatting . Anyone know how to fix this problem?

  • I have both the Epic 4G and the EVO 4G...personally, I like the EVO better, it's faster and the HTC UI is just better for me. Although, if it were pure business, and I prefer pure function and stripped of all the other stuff? I still like my BB Bold over any other smarthphones. It just works better for emails, etc.

  • can anybdy tell me tht where is d FM RADIO in this phone, m unable to find it out?? m having dis phone for last 2 weeks n failed to get RADIO. THNX

  • I wanna order an unlocked Epic 4g from amazon.com, but I just found out that it lacks a sim card slot. How can one get it to work with another cdma network in another country?

  • I don't know how Android so popular! I used to use Palm Pre. For multi tasking, this operating system is lousy and doesn't even come close!! Also, you will be out of battery by 5pm! For music player when the screen is locked, you have to unlock the screen in order to go to the next track which is a pain!

  • cn anybdy tell me tht where the hell is FM RADIO in this phone?? i hv got the phone n still unable to find it??

  • is it wotrh to buy this phone? mainly concern to battary life

  • $50! at bestbuy with 2year contract, its better than the nexus s and has an led alert notifier,a dedicated camera button,physical qwerty keyboard, and has the look of the nexus s too, also the verizon charge has the same specs as the nexus s & nexus s 4G except that it has a super amoled screen,also its a bigger screen too. but the specs down to the ram are the same. so its a better buy.

  • hai.. where u bought..?? bcos i dont want to have any CDMA servises.., r there any option to buy only phone.. without any CDMA plans.. if its there wat will be the price..?? weather is it possible to use this phone in india..?? plz let me know..

  • Epic 4G 2.3.3 Gingerbread Firmware Update is out now...

  • Is it flash player supported??

  • how much?

  • I think that best product

  • Next week I will have in my hands the Epic 4G, I can't wait. Greetings from México.

  • No you werent, its just that the phone has numerous background processes that go on because of the android os and take up some of your ram. Mine is the same way

  • Yes, I've tried it, it is very much scratch resistent, you can also watch youtube videos on the Gorilla Glass Protecter

  • yeah mine is also not 512mb it shows 338mb why is that?

  • yeah, i was also wonderin if it's screen resistant. i haven't remove the plastic cover yet. It's a nice phone, though it sucks that it's cdma. GRRR! And now i can only use it for connecting to wifi, playing games and using other apps, and i will definitely not get a postpaid plan.

  • Is its screen scratch resistant ?

  • Is this phone screen resistant to scratch ? It has a Gorilla Glass display, but nobody mentioned that it is resistant to scratching. while in Nokia E7, i read on your site "- Scratch resistant Gorilla glass display" ! isn't it the same screen ? or it's a different one ?

  • i really hate Samsung for doing this into CMDA, why they didnt make a version for GSM :@

  • Im trying to find out about flashing this to metropcs. Now its 4G is hsdpa 2100. That differs from the lte 2100 for metro doesnt it?

  • Hopefully Samsung sends out a Galaxy S2 variant to every carrier again and there is some form of an Epic 2. Up until the recent release of certain phones the Epic litteraly was the most advanced phone released. Now its the Gs2 and hopefully there will be that Epic 2...ish.

  • no gsm version.

  • i love this phone

  • 5 stars only thing is battery drains to quickly

  • 5 stars only thing is battery drains to quickly

  • anyone knows if there is going to be a GSM version?

  • GSMarena please do a full review on the Epic........it deserves it even if it is a stateside only device......

  • Best phone out, you really can't leave it alone. 5 stars!

  • Best phone out, you really can't leave it alone. 5 stars!

  • 4G phone means they have wimax technology which can support high speed internet data. In malaysia and US $4G is becoming popular , and it does not use SIM cards

  • Best phone available as of now.........

  • i had this phone and the screen stopped working. I switched the phone for a new one and had the same issue. I did like this phone but only during the times when the screen worked. Also battery life is atrocious on this phone you could only be happy with this thing if you had somewhere to charge it 24/7. keyboard is nice and screen is the best ive seen on any phone but battery sux big time. and like i said screen went white very often on two seperate models and lots of lag when scrolling on the phone.

  • is this available in Manila, Phil. pls reply to my [email protected]. THANK YOU, SAMSUNG

  • You are wrong my friend .. the ram on epic is true 512MB. maybe do you mean a internal memory ?? yes a internal memory (rom) on epic just 512MB . too small for this phone i think . but didn't you got a 16GB external memory ?? sory for my bad english

  • you can get this @ www.rimweb.in

  • I 've had this phone for a couple of weeks and cant stop from loving it. But one problem I have... I thought this phone had 512MB of RAM! But since I bought it the phone settings show a measly 325MB of RAM. So what gives here? Was I sold an EPIC with the wrong amount of RAM? (Cheezi1 lives in southern California)

  • I wanted a good CDMA phone, want know where i can buy this phone in mumbai and the price for it

  • Aside from the dual cores coming out The Epic 4G is actually the best phone period

  • @SAMSUNG please release GSM version of EPIC it is the best GALAXY S phone

  • when in GSM????/

  • Could you please have this phone for Rogers? I've been waiting for a phone especially like this to finally come out and would like it to be with my service provider. I'm looking forward to have it launched with Rogers soon. Take care

  • its not n problem.... its no problem....

  • n problem ,if its not gsm.....if its CDMA then UNLOCK the phone and start using it ith the indian network CDMA SIM CARDS....

  • hi nath. im also from philippines, first NO you cant use this in our poor country cuz it does not have sim card slot. second its called 4G cuz the internet connection in this fone is really quick.[10x faster than 3G (6-10MBPS)] if you really like this fone, in febrauary, htc will release htc desire hd in our country, that is an htc evo-like fone. (but thet is not 4G)

  • i agree

  • when it launch in gsm version...????

  • Judging by the myriad of models only for the US market, looks like Samsung is sucking up to the US market and forgetting the loyal Asian market.

  • i love this phone but its not GSM!!! plzz launch its GSM version

  • i don't understand.. why is it called 4g?? does it make any changes on the phone?

  • so what if its not on GSM? what the difference??

  • when it come wit GSM version ??

  • Ebay. You can get it for about 3-$400.

  • Good phone, but where I can get froyo for this phone

  • Samsung,We need a GSM version too of this phone in North America. This the best phone after Galaxy S. Please Launch as early as possible Thanks

  • Official Android 2.2 Froyo is out of Epic 4G.

  • I agree....

  • in india you can get similar Specs but only difference is , its without Qwerty Keyboard search for SAMSUNG GALAXY s i9000 on Ebay.in

  • cant samsung just make some changes.. remove incompatible features and launch a gsm version??? else will hav to go with htc :(

  • gsm version please!

  • Samsung,We need GSM version of this phone in India..Please Launch as early as possible

  • What is the price of this phone??

  • whta are you taling about its a 4g phone your phone is still in the stone age

  • yes it does

  • you need to check your info i have the dam phone Internal 512 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM

  • I want this handset... please samsung make a GSM version PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE :)))

  • T-Mobile HTC G2 vs. Samsung Epic 4G Video Review

  • Boooooooooo!!! We want Galaxy S Pro in Europe as well. That keyboard looks sooooo damn good!

  • Why not be marketed in the Middle East?? Only in America!! We want this device also

  • hi sir! I appreciate your feedback..but network really varies depending on your geographical site..

  • again sir..the chances of having this phone run under GSM is less than 20% because the phone is designed for CDMA network..there are feature of this phone as well that will not be supported if it will be converted to GSM

  • sir the phone is specifically designed for SPRINT that will run under CDMA network..there is less than 20% chance that there will be an EPIC that will run under GSM.

  • When will the GSM version of this phone hit europe or asia..??

  • Epic 4G: problems so far and a few solutions

  • dude thank you i hate the internet sometimes because people talk about shit they don't know. it makes perfect sense the reason for the ram to show 340 is due to operating system wished sprint knew that before they excanged my phone you rock dude.thanks

  • dude thank you i hate the internet sometimes because people talk about shit they don't know. it makes perfect sense the reason for the ram to show 340 is due to operating system wished sprint knew that before they excanged my phone you rock dude.thanks

  • this phone plus a stereo speaker is wat i want in a gsm phone... still searching...hmmmmm...

  • its not a proper martphone..its a cdma phone..

  • I have the samsumg epic and it has gps. It uses the hummingbird processor. Unlike the snapdragon foolishness that htc n motorola carries. That processor always crashes. It has potential but u will need 2.2 android to see it process quicker.. And even with that the hummingbird is still faster even with 2.1 android. Plus htc makes cheap phones that barely make it through everyday wear and tear. Im pretty sure yall heard about the evo. And motorola hasnt been innovative on anything in a while. They pretty much follow what other phone makers do. Do u really need a 4.3 inch screen? For what? Thas more so a tablet.

  • network of this device is not gooood

  • ha ha shunt evan be on here this is supposed to be a smart phone it ant evan got gps for that price, huuu thats all i need to here

  • sounds like YOU need to work on getting a life...

  • Those dont have qwerty keyboard... i need one just the epic 4 but with gsm

  • You dont know what your talking about do you.thats alright. Heres proof.Why dont you keep your comments to yourself unless you know what your talking about.

  • they have in AT&T calls Captivate and T-Mobile calls Vibrant

  • gsm version please......

  • yes you a so amazing but i waiting samsung galaxy s2

  • can samsung plzzzzzzzzzzzz make better phns

  • Droid X nor Droid 2 have the bootloader locked so this may be a non-starter for some people ; The reviews I read for the Droid 2 indicated MKI/AVI movie playback was sub-standard, where as the Samsung is Dvix HD certified for AVI and MKV.

  • Samsung is not the best android phone. The real beast was HTC now it's Motorola. Have a look here:

  • droid 2 is much beter

  • It is no scam. Android 2.1 eclair doesn't suport/adress more than 340 ram. When android 2.2 froyo will appear the full 512 ram will appear by magic:-)). Document first before comment or make acusations

  • It is no scam. Android 2.1 eclair doesn't suport/adress more than 340 ram. When android 2.2 froyo will appear the full 512 ram will appear by magic:-)). Document first before comment or make acusations

  • How come, the RAM memory is placed with a binary way 128MB 256MB 512MB 1024MB.................

  • The epic 4g does not have 512mb of ram it only has 340mb.When are people going to figure this out?

  • The samsung epic is amamzing phone. Its so fast, it takes no time to boot up and you could surf the internet while talk on the phone. I have this fone and im so satisfied with it. i wont need another phone for a while. When I heard about the Evo coming out a few months ago, I really wanted it, but then i heard about this phone and I just had to wait and get it. Now I got it now Im good!

  • SCAM ONLY 340MB OF RAM Sorry but your wrong about the 512mb of ram.Samsung is running a scam and people need to start posting all over the web about it. The phone only comes with 340mb of available ram.I know because I own 2(mine and my fiances).They decided to use the other 172mb for a ram disk it seems.Devs are trying to figure out why.I didnt realize this until I got home and used an app that shows available ram. There is a few apps you can use to test this.I first noticed it when using Memory Booster Lite.Please post this information where ever you can they should not be able to get away with this. Thankyou

  • go for samsung wave. the best phone that suits your budget.

  • Are you serious? what company nowadays doesnt include light on keys... lol

  • Does it have WIMAX(4G)? will it be like this? 2G Network CDMA 800 / 1900 3G Network CDMA2000 1xEV-DO 4G Network WIMAX Hope there will be a european version of it like this. 2G Network GSM 3G Network WCDMA 4G Network WIMAX

  • This is for CDMA. Will Samsung release for GSM too? I hope so. It's better for the market too. I really need this phone in GSM! And when this Epic will be marketed in Indonesia and Singapore?

  • No GPRS?? Seriously?? Impossible!

  • Yes, I would like to order these exact specs in (Quadband) GSM please Sammy...!

  • yes, it has, quite obviously.almost all phone with qwerty keyboard has backlight

  • samsung epic 4G its great!!!!!!! i really love it's style. i watched the reviews about epic 4G. it's really different from other galaxy smartphones but can i ask if the physical qwerty keyboard has a light? i mean for example when i'm in the dark. can i see the letters?

  • can samsung make it useable in singapore...fast fast fast

  • Yeah and I know how good their service is! India is lagging behind in the cellular technology. You might have heard like India is one of the fastest growing cellular market> Yes it's true but most of them are entry level phones and not smart phones. Wanna see real potential of smart phones? Then go to US or come to UK! Here in UK we get all phones subsidized unlike India!

  • I dont like the model of Samsung Galaxy S and it comes without LED flash and no 4G. i like epic 4G because the model is and comes with 4G and LED flash. I hope Samsung will release a new epic 4G that come with 4G, LED Flash. GSM and no keyboard in Indonesia

  • if you want without keyboard !! and gsm version !!! then buy samsung galaxy s !! samsung epic 4g is samsung galaxy s with keyboard and 4g

  • Well i want it into GSM version without keyboard too. to Samsung : Make it for market Indonesia

  • We want one GSM version in Portugal too! I won't buy a Samsung Galaxy S without a keyboard, so let's let Samsung know that!

  • WE want GSM version!

  • this phone features are very good and i think its cost may be reasonable price and iam waiting for this phone i wll be buying yt this phone

  • in ksa ! the price of samsung galaxy $ is 2800sr : and samsung epic 4g not available in ksa ! because it is not gsm phone ::: how about in your country ????

  • It wont simply because there is no sprint coverage in your area. This phone is exclusively for sprint network.

  • no ! it not will work in egypt : because this is not gsm phone ::: if you like this phone then buy samsung galaxy s

  • hey tell me something, will this phone work in the caribbean

  • I live in egypt and i love this phone , my mom is in america at the moment and i want to buy this phone but i dont know if it will work here in Egypt , can someone please tell me if it will work here !

  • There's a video editer on the epic 4g i thought it did'nt come with one. The specs says it has a video editor. IS the 5 megapixel 3x digital zoom epic 4g better than the Evo's 8 megapixel dual FLASH ?/?????/

  • Well it is try $250.00 plus $10.00 for service that is not there I love my gsm Galaxy s and i got simplemobile service great look it up

  • yes im there with u i have the samsung galaxy s love it i'm using simple mobile i love it i hate sprint.

  • we have the galaxy s here in the philippines and it is awsome. i love it. more power to globe telecom!

  • btw buddy wimax is also availbl in india in some states.. not in all states but some states,, got it??

  • Get Your facts corrected dude! 3g IS available in India by BSNL and MTNL and 3g by private cellular companies is just next door.

  • Hey pal from india! You are right. Yo need gsm 2.5g phone because 3g isnt available in india, forget about 4g. Its not fail but the thing is you guys cant even explore its potentials. Poor guy! Wait for a decade or may be century for 4g! ;) You know why i hate your attitude? Because you have nothing but you talk as if you are most advance in technology. Get a life!

  • What good is the phone if the service provider can't provide the speed and service that meets the phone's capabilities? You can purchase a 32GB SD for the Galaxy, so that alone also boosts the Galaxy over the Iphones. Why pay 300.00 just to get a 16GB phone that has so many limitations. The Iphone was a good trend when it was in vogue. It broke the bar for cellphones, but unless Steve Jobs changes his marketing strategy and also releases a new and better cellphone in the future that is 360 different from the current Iphone, the Iphone days are numbered. The competition has met his challenge and bested Apple IMHO.

  • The only problem with this Epic 4G phone...its only have 512mb internal memory...that suck to compare with the only two samsung phones: Vibrant and Captivate. If this so call Epic competing with the Iphone, at least let the phone have memory too, its true potentials. The phone is like a solider without a brain (fast, skilled, all the fire power, and a small brain).

  • This is what you call 'milking the cow'. Galaxy S is hot. ATT and TMobile come out with 200.00 phones on line. Amazon goes even better! Then Sprint decides to release thier phone on 8-31 (official). The online and store price will be 249.00 plus a 100.00 mail in rebate. Regardless, that's 350.00. I dispise mail in rebates regardless. Yes, it a Qwerty, has 2 cameras and a flash, but given Sprints coverage and spotty service in NY, it's just not worth it. Plus, the extra 10.00 for 4G that won't go live til 2011 which is mandatory, and the roaming charges in your Everything plan, Sprint is bending you over and saying, take it with a smile. I love this model because of the Qwerty and flash camera, but I just wont allow myself to be extorted. I'll stay with my Captivate!

  • The Galaxy S phones will probably be on the the best phones released in a long while. It breaks the mold and raises the bar. Motorola Droids can't compete, and the HTC Evo is close, but I'd give it to the Galaxy. So far, only ATT's Galaxy version has delivered, but, there are limitations that you don't have with Sprint and TMobile. I just test ran Sprint in anticipation of the Epic and the service was call quality was horrible in NYC, plus download speed was worse than Tmobile, ATT was best in download speed. 2.5 Mns avg..Sprint at 1.0 avg...TMob about 1.8. The longer the delays for Verizon the worse off for them. This phone is HOT!

  • it il fail nd nt work in india if released in cdma......so launch n gsm in india

  • hey its 4g... il it b able 2 work in india?? launch it fast in gsm in india... dz moble hz gt lots of potential in indan market.... it il prove 2 b a bonanza 4 samsung...sereously samsung.....

HEY SAMSUNG ..R U LISTENING????

  • It's not better and is surely not worse than HTC Evo 4G. Samsung Epic 4G is a quality phone and I think will have a chance on the market. We make a preview here,

  • This phone will not go real '4G' speed which is 100mbps on a mobile network and 1gbps on a fixed network. Sprint has not reached 100mbps yet. Basically it's 3.75G.

  • night mode doesn't work. it brightens a picture a little but ....it makes the picture all blurry. how can you love it . Take a picture with flash and it will be crystal clear .

  • price released employee will be fired im sure.

  • I'm hoping that samsung 4g epic will be release here in the philippines ASAP!..and also here in Brunei Darusallam..we love this phone!!!..i'm hoping the makers of this unit will do a lot more so that i can have 1 too.i'm a samsung fan now and forever......

  • over 200$ hahahahaha dude its gonna cost at least 600$

  • all you people from euro who want this phone.... You know they are going to give you guys a better phone than anything we have in the usa. They always do .... This is the first phone that is good for the usa. The EVO is a terrible phone. The evo has a very poor battery life 12 hours with moderate use and it doesn't even record HD . They completely lied about the HD it records standard video in 720. The galaxy s and iphone crushes the evo in my book. BUT this epic 4g is the real deal. Its a real PDA for the USA.

  • i have love it night vison mode on cam more memory 16gb,gsm,smooth the pro big bulky,no moving parts (keyboard)

  • This phone will be the best phone in the world when it comes out. 4g is the quickest band width out now. Up to 10x faster than 3g Front facing camera for video conferencing, wireless tether for up to 5 devices simutaneously. need I say more. And plus its on the best cellular netork in the US. you guy in other contries may wanna move to the US when this drops. the original galaxy s is a waste compared to this platinum phone.

  • I am in love with this phone. Pleeeeease Samsung, bring it to Australia. I have been waiting for this phone forever.

  • This phone has everything the american galaxy s lacks. a qwerty keyboard,a front facing camera,and a FLASH. i guess the phone is better without built in memory because if you drop it your built in memory could malfunction. I think im sold and im rolling with sprint for the next two years Unless this phone is over $200.

  • Is the phone available and useable in the UK? If so anyone in UK got an opinion on how practical it is please?

  • you're rite bro.. but still i'd prefer gsm, not cdma for my primary phone lol.. still wish samsung made gsm version for the phone and sale it overseas.. dis phone i dream off.. please samsung, please..

  • wait a minute... they give you flash and a qwerty but no 16gb built in memory. They do this on purpose

  • Yeah they figured out people need flash with a camera or the pictures will be blurry. I was gonna get the vibrant but the no flash stopped me in my tracks.

  • Please Samsung, make a GSM version of this phone, and ship it to Europe... PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEE!!!! It would sell like hot cakes!

  • nope,,,, it'll not because this phone is for Sprint only,,,, if you want it, u have to go overseas to look for,,,, im crazy about this one too, but i think the original galaxy s just could do it

  • let's hope this Samsung Epic 4G support R-UIM and Samsung would be kind enough to bring this phone to Indonesia. coz, i desperately need a new phone to replace my good old Nokia 6275i. don't get me wrong, 6275i is a nice phone, but it's aging, it can't do multitasking, and it's not smartphone... btw, what does a CDMA phone do in GSM Arena anyway?

  • only name is 4g no other sim support, i think it is nt the bst one cdma 3g and the name is epic 4g keeping customers in a apperation.

  • Is this phone coming to Australia? I am keen on the Galaxy S but like the versatility of the qwerty keyboard plus that damn flash! Any ideas about it coming to Aus?

  • i thought this is a GSM Arena, not cdma arena!

  • This 4ne is smoking cool. Can't wait to have my own.

  • True. What exactly is the point of a 4G phone anyway?

  • Thats true what you´ve said, it´s all about on what you want to spend ur money... for example some people don´t like the physical keyboard because "why do u need a physical keyboard when u have a multitouch screen that comes with swype!" and will go for the onscreen keyboard... I´m the type of person that likes the onscreen keyboard rather than the physical because u save some inches less...but the fact that it´s coming with LED flash, 4G, SIXAXIS, and being the only US phone version that comes with a videocall camera, it´s the price that I have to pay for... P.S a long reply again :D

  • everything is spot on for me except that this phone is not gsm. it has a big 4 inch screen with querty keypad and the incomparable what so ever android beauty.a dream phone till now if it would support gsm network. no other phone has the specifications that it has except for gsm.

  • right ok, then compare the samsung galaxy s to the samsung epic 4g...but really its ur choice onto what you wanna use ur money for...so just chillax yeah..damn such a long reply from u haha ..:) lol this site is quite ....different :D but anyway i still think that the samsung galaxy s is better than the epic 4g !!! ;)

  • I thought GSM Arena only posted GSM phones.....hence the name GSM Arena.

  • Like what??!! Does the samsung galaxy s has LED flash??!! that thing that most of the people complain about it!!?? This beast boasts all applications and hardware of the Samsung galaxy S + LED flash!! What I´m wondering is if this uber-phone has the bluetooth v. 3 or 2.1?? Here says 2.1 but I heard that the US phones were going to have the same hardware specifications as the original samsung galaxy s + extra hardware if carriers wanted... If you are living in the US this is the phone that u should grab!! It has a physical keyboard, SIXAXIS, useful applications from Sprint, Samsung Media, and of course 4G!! When android 2.2 comes to this phone, this phone will be the fastest phone ever created!!!

  • Guys! Can't u see that the Samsung galaxy s is better..than the pro!?....its not that good Π_Π Yeah sure it has nearly. Everything but its still missing sum things.....x

  • Folks, In India 3G is not happening effectively. then 4G?

  • i dont wanna wait til 8/20 to get this phone. I also dont want a $300 dollar phone with a $100 rebate. Other than that i want this phone .

  • 3G: 364kbps 3,5G (aka HSDPA): 3.6Mbps, 7.2Mbps, 14.4Mbps 4G: 100Mbps If you din't know even the difference of 3G and 4G, then better go to buy a simple phone. :|

  • Samsung are making amazing phones

  • whats the speed of 4G??? 3G only 3mbps??i dont understand...

  • Go for I9000 Galaxy pro (with qwerty)

  • dont worry... we had all kind of network cdma/gsm in indonesia... lol

  • yes we had all kind of network in indonesia... lol

  • I hope the make a GSM/HSPDA version of this if possible. So into this phone! Its EPIC!

  • It's CDMA, i'm not sure if Indonesia uses the same network.I'm from Australia we use GSM for 2G and HSPDA for 3G. So i think it's a only America thing or any other countries that use Sprint as their network provider.

  • I'll buy it immediately if it run on gsm - sad

  • htc evo 4g is better and nicer in design

  • *one

  • Just on problem, too expensive.

  • Yeah, and why the 1Ghz processor when there's 1.3Ghz out there, and while we're at it, why not up the screen resolution. Why not, since we're all willing to buy SUPEROMEGAphones for hundreds of euros. Improving the camera would make it a lot more expensive, for an already "very" expensive phone. Not many people are willing to pay that much and not many people need super camera quality when the quality is already great.

  • But its really a pity that it isn't running on android froyo!!!!!!!!!!!

  • like dis phone lots.. just wonder, would it came to indonesia?? just wish samsung answer my wish.. hehehehehehe

  • this is not epic fail. it's epic success.

  • The phone with the QWERTY feature is great. Beside that other features make the SAMSUNG EPIC real 4G phone.

  • is GPRS avalable for this phone?

  • how much is this phone after rebates on a data plan w/ sprint?

  • Nokia has very tiny market in usa. Samsung should aim htc

  • this phone dont come on Europe now.... the phone have the sprint in usa and the network is 2G Network CDMA 800 / 1900 3G Network CDMA2000 1xEV-DO not gsm or HSDPA

  • motorola not to good

  • why only five mega pixels and 720p must upgrade to eight mega pixels and full hd 1080p this will be prefect

  • It's been in the news before that Samsung dislodge Nokia in Eastern Europe...now it wants to dominate US of A

  • 4 inch super amoled display + 1 GHz processor + qwerty keyboard + 512 Mb ram + Android = perfection all in 14mm thickness.

  • Does it have internal storage and if it has, does it reach 16GB and above?

  • It's a Galaxy S phone + WiMAX + LED Flash + QWERTY keyboard. Basically the Perfection.

  • no GPRS? no EDGE? whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

  • The likes of this phone doesn't belong on this website!

  • Gsmarena is just a Name. There is no Network restriction, if there is that is it's all about Mobile.

  • It is possible to come in GSM networks as Galaxy S Pro, but later than it's cdma launch. That's the reason of its appearance at gsmarene too.

  • i was awaiting for this model to be released.It had everything that I wanted,then came the problem CDMA.Why couldn't they establish GSM as well as CDMA for this phone.I desperately wanted to buy this.Please anybody could you gimme mail id to contact someone in Samsung(Who can make this suggestion in front of the highest officials).We GSM users need all this as GSM mobile.

  • _G_S_M_ Arena must decide, they are GSM or any-technology mobile phone arena. more and more NOT-GSM models: kins, falsely GSM and HTC evo 4G. its good, that "tomorrow"-LTE is from GSM-3GPP family

  • i love my milestone more and waiting for droid 2

  • that is true! i did notice that too...

  • Will the Sprint Epic (Samsung Galaxy S) have composite video out as demoed in this video?! Is so it's icing on the cake and I'm excited to pick up this phone when it comes out. I returned my EVO within 30 days in order to wait for the Epic.

  • wimax will end up before LTE !

  • perfect!

  • lol why is a CDMA phone on Gsmarena?

  • Galaxy S Pro VS Moment: Wimax VS nothing 4" screen VS 3.2" Capacitive technology VS maybe resistive (ain't sure) 480x800 resolution VS 320x480 Super AMOLED VS AMOLED 1GHz processor (Hummingbird) VS 800MHz 5MP LED VS 3.2 MP OTA synchronization only in S Pro Wi-Fi b/g/n VS Wi-Fi b/g some of major diefferences. there are more..

  • I really like this phone. I've been following the Samsung Galaxy S since its early rumours, and wanted to buy it. Now that I know about this possible version with keyboard, I changed my mind. If this releases in Europe, with GSM capability, I'll certainly buy it. It really is the best phone ever released 'till now.

  • whats the difference between this phone and the samsung moment?

  • Sprint named the Galaxy S Pro the "Samsung Epic", not the other way around. Carriers always do this so they don't say the long complex names the manufacturers call their devices.

  • I wanted the GS but now I want to wait till this rumored phone comes out... Depressing times...Π_Π Btw this is a nexus one that I'm typing from...

  • It has Led flash.

  • No flash? Why can't Samsung come out with a complete package? How expensive is it to place one or two LED or Xenon flash on these gadgets?

  • Yes. Beam has 1.800mAh but has to feed the projector. Also, the 1.800mAh battery would made the phone more fat.

  • but there is bigger battery than 1500mAh...the samsung I8520 Beam has a 1800mAh battery

  • The phone is looking great too bad i will not have a chance too own one since i live in Serbia and this phone is US only...

  • Are you taking any drugs or you are just a 10 years old boy? Biggest battery? WHY? There's no biggest battery than 1,500mAh out there! Front camera flash? Useless! Where did you see 2GHz smartphone? All these about Motorola 2GHz device is just a myth. If a phone wear all these things that you want, it would cost 1000 euros. So! Wake up and stop asking useless things! You like S Pro? Buy it! Don't like it? We don't care!

  • If Samsung is really interested in being among the top of smartphone category then they need to be releasing bleeding edge specs. Google recommendation for Gingerbread are: * 512MB RAM, come out with 1Gb RAM. * Froyo and above allows application to install on SD card so keeping the ROM at 1 to 2Gb, like their current models should be fine. * CPU speed recommendation is 1Ghz, Motorolla is coming out with 2Ghz. Can Samsung top Motorolla? Some other feature they should have: * Gorilla glass. * Flash for front and back Camera. * A-GPS/GPS and digital compass should be standard. * Super AMOLED screen. * More powerful (high amp/hr) battery. Samsung also need to improve their support especially on OS upgrade. They shouldn't lag behind everybody else when it comes to this.

  • I miss You Samsung with Android, I'be wait in indonesia Good Phone ; Great Phone

  • I think there's flash on this phone but it doesn't say it, but definately the 'Samsung Epic 4g' (this phone) for Sprint has a flash.

  • its not GSP ,it is samsung epic 4G hxxp: //w w w . engadget . com/2010/06/28/sprint-lines-up-epic-4g-against-t­he-competition-likes-its-chanc/ theres the link

  • Hello, I'm so elate. I'm wait for this phone in Poland. Send it here, please. Great phone, Great Samsung. Polish fan.

  • a tv tuner is missing, strange with all the other spec

  • add tv tuner it will perfect

  • See, I was already considering getting the Galaxy S based on the reviews everyone has been giving this phone...but I'm attached to having a Qwerty Keyboard..(right now using the TouchPro 2 - WinMo has had its last sale from me..freezes way too much). I hope this phone comes out for T-Mobile as it will be a guaranteed buy!

  • Galaxy S Pro will be rooted,GS is already,GSP will have its own xda forum. This makes any and all software complaints null and void. GS/GSP hummingbird cpu gpu blows everything else out of the water,possibly even 1.5 ghz snapduo. Camera LED flash,hard keyboard(5 row),7+ hour video playback(GS benchmark test results),720p 30fps record,FM radio tuner,TV output,VGA front camera�..ect. My G1 has a worthy replacement after 2 years of sevice. F-you T-Mo

  • this is a dream come true. I hope it will have some strong video acceleration. I had a dream (g1) and lost it. And since then I am waiting for the perfect phone. This might be it. I'm a bit put off by the lack of trackball but other than that... terrific. I hate on screen keyboards and also it is very useful to have a full keyboard for gaming. And if it gets rooted also... jackpot :)

  • But, with a qwerty keyboard the net surfing experience is better.

  • So, dont buy it! We don't care! Galaxy S Pro & Droid 2 will be the best phones for 2010-2011 season! If I had money I would buy the Galaxy S Pro between them, cause i like Samsung more. But both of them are PERFECT! The only one phone which maybe catch these two phones will be the N9, none other! QWERTY FTW! :) (F700 & B7610 user)

  • QWERTY keyboard will just make it expensive.

  • Maha awrrsome phone as the physical qwerty keyboard has a lot of advantages! Samsung Galaxy S! Pro! the best!

  • Impressive specs, but I don't get why the Samsung use its new OS. It's never going to be enough apps for it when Sumsung release it's high spec phones with Android instead of Bada.

  • with swype you don't need a qwerty keyboard...

  • Wooh ill get this whenever its out no matter how much the price! :) love it

  • Wonderful Spec im loving it
