[http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/09/galaxys2teardown.jpg](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/20/samsung-epic-4g-touch-gets-torn-down-confirms-its-epic-crendent/) The Samsung [Epic 4G Touch](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/15/samsung-epic-4g-touch-review/) is a triumph of engineering, jamming oh-so-very-much into an oh-so-little frame. What better way to celebrate its wonderous design, than to tear it all down to its constituent parts, and then reassemble it? Thank the guys at *iFixit*, because they've already done it -- [again](http://www.engadget.com/tag/ifixit/). Interesting points include just a single EMI shield -- [unlike some competitors](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/09/ifixit-picks-the-droid-bionic-to-disassembled-pieces/) -- which is great news for those looking to emulate a tear-down of their own [Sprint-specific GSII](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/30/galaxy-s-ii-for-sprint-atandt-and-t-mobile-hands-on/). It could still prove to be a challenge, with both the glass panel and LCD apparently fused to the middle of the phone, meaning a replacement for that sumptuous 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen could prove costly. Click below for a pictorial blow-by-blow of the teardown, let's keep the drooling to a minimum, shall we?
