However, there will be a few minor changes in the States to the handsets, depending on the carrier you go with.

The Sprint offering, redoubed the Sprint Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch, will cost $199.99 on a 2 year contract, and be available from 16 September. It has a slightly larger screen than the UK offering (4.52-inches compared to 4.3-inches), with an Exynos 1.2GHz dual-core processor, an 1800 mAh battery, and 16GB of onboard memory.

The AT&T version keeps the same internal specs, but opts for the smaller 4.3 inch screen, and introduces 4 touch sensitve buttons instead of the hardware home key. It’s out from 18th September.

T-Mobile’s version goes with the 4.52 inch screen, in a slightly curvier chassis.
