Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Mobile Review
Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G is a very pretty phone, but at 5.1 by 2.7 by 0.4 inches and 4.6 ounces, it's for people with big hands. The Epic 4G Touch uses the standard black-slab design; it's mostly made of plastic, but it's not cheap-feeling plastic. It's slim, with a textured back. The front is dominated by a gigantic 4.5-inch, 800-by-480 Super AMOLED Plus screen. This is technically lower-resolution than the Photon's 960-by-640 screen, but Super AMOLED Plus is a superior technology: blacks are deeper, colors richer, and lines lack the stippled effect you see on Motorola's PenTile screens. The big screen has another unexpected advantage: it makes touch targets a bit bigger, so it's easier to tap on links than on the Motorola Photon at its default zoom level.
