  • The user-removable back cover comes off quite easily with some prying.

  • Unfortunately, Samsung and Sprint decided not to include NFC support in this variant of the Galaxy S II, which means no Google Wallet support either.

  • Unsure what an NFC module looks like? Check out the Nexus S teardown.

  • We love phones with batteries that are easy to replace, and this device fits that mold.

  • The 1800 mAH Li-ion battery in the Samsung Epic 4G Touch has a claimed battery life of 8.7 hours of continuous talk time and 10.5 days on standby.

  • Compare this with the Galaxy S II's 1650 mAh battery.

  • For those of you who prefer real world battery life tests, Engadget's reviewers easily managed 12 hours of moderate usage without any need to charge the battery.
