Rumor: Samsung Epic 4G to launch August 20

One of the highly anticipated Android devices for the Sprint network, the Samsung Epic 4G, is rumored to launch August 20. Basically, Samsung uploads a promotional video on Samsung’s Galaxy S On Demand Live Show for every Galaxy S phone that launches. Samsung launched a video for the Samsung Vibrant on July 21 (because that was the official launch date before moving up) and for the Samsung Captivate on July 19 (the first business day after its Sunday launch). Therefore, we have good reason to believe the video debut for the Epic 4G will, in fact, be its actual launch date. So far, Samsung plans to air the Epic 4G video on August 20, implying the smartphone has a strong chance of launching on that Friday.

In addition, Samsung has tweeted a message saying the device is arriving in a few weeks. The tweet can be seen below, but here is what the text states:

@mitchgray try seeing comparisons. http://ow.ly/2fOfg also keep in mind the Sprint Epic 4G is arriving in a few weeks. It’s the 4G #GalaxyS

While the tweet alone doesn’t confirm much, we have another Samsung tweet calling for a summer release. August 20 is towards the end of summer by American standards, so if history repeats itself, Android enthusiasts should plan on the Epic 4G arriving on August 20.
