Add to that, the Wi-Fi with DLNA, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, and microUSB 2.0 are sported as the usual high-end smartphones out there on the market.

Display
Getting the best screen performance can be included into our consideration, for having good experience while browsing or having text messaging is defined by the quality of the phone’s screen. It would be enjoyable to use the high resolution display like the Epic 4G offers with the Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen and 16M colors. In addition the screen features 480 x 800 pixels and measures 4.0 inches. The Gorilla Glass display, TouchWiz 3.0 UI, Multi-touch input method, Accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate, Touch-sensitive controls, Proximity sensor for auto turn-off, and Swype text input are great and can be kind of big points for the Epic 4G value.

On the other hand, the MyTouch 4G only gives us the TFT capacitive touchscreen with 16M colors and features 480 x 800 pixels only. The display itself measures 3.8 inches only and sports Accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate, Optical trackpad, and Swype input method.

What will you conclude? The Epic 4G’s display is much better than that the MyTouch 4G’s.

Performance
The MyTouch 4G comes with the latest Android 2.2 (Froyo), while the Epic 4G offers the Android 2.1 (Eclair). It might be caused by the Epic 4G has been released several month earlier when the Eclair was still something new and fresh.

On the other side, the Epic 4G offers a bit lower internal memory with 512 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM. The external memory can be filled with 32 GB capacity only. Thus, the MyTouch takes the storage competition over.

Battery Life
As for battery life the MyTouch 4G comes with 432 hours of standby time and 10 hours of talk time, while the Epic 4G hasn’t confirmed its battery life anyway. However, we can still conclude that the Epic 4G gives us a bit longer battery life, for it has Li-Ion 1500 mAh, while the MyTouch 4G comes with Li-Ion 1400 mAh only.

Conclusion
myTouch 4G sports more powerful processor, bigger RAM and combined with the latest Android 2.2 (Froyo). You will get faster and smoother performance with this phone. However, you cannot take the display point aside, for the display donates a huge value for the Epic 4G.
