Samsung Epic 4G, Sprint's Second 4G Phone, Arriving This Summer

Sprint will launch the Samsung Epic 4G, its second 4G-enabled smartphone, and Samsung’s first 4G phone with Android, later this summer. The Epic 4G pairs a 4-inch multitouch display with a 1GZz Hummingbird processor, two cameras and, eventually, Android 2.2.

Sprint Nextel has announced that in the Samsung Epic 4G, it will soon have a second smartphone capable of accessing its growing 4G network. The newest member of Samsung Mobile’s Galaxy S smartphone lineup, the Epic 4G is the manufacturer’s first Android-running, 4G device.

"Samsung Epic 4G joins a portfolio of powerful devices offering an unprecedented simplicity and value to our customers as the only national carrier with a 4G network and devices and applications that can leverage the increased data speeds to provide a high-def entertainment and business experience in the palm of your hand," Steve Elfman, president of Sprint network operations, said in a June 28 statement.
