Sprint and Samsung announced today a new Galaxy S device, called "Samsung Epic 4G", which features the same 4 inch touchscreen screen. It's powered up by a Hummingbird processor (we don't know the frequency), there is also a 5MP camera with 720p video recording capabilities. This new versions also includes a VGA front-facing camera, probably for video calling, a very nice feature. A cool news is that the handset will come with 4G radios to work with Spring's 4G network, which becomes better by day. There is also a slide-out qwerty keyboard.

The device will run Android 2.1 Eclair and TouchWiz 3.0, but there is known Samsung and Sprint will try to update the OS to Froyo as soon as possible. Other specs include 1GB ROM, 512MB RAM and a 16GB microSD card (up to 32GB, as always). Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will not miss either.
