Seoul, KOREA ¶ May 03, 2012 -- For now, nearly all the eyes in the technology industry -- especially tuned to Korean IT trend, have been zoomed in on the official debut of Galaxy S3, a follow-up version to the popular Samsung's flagship smartphone Galaxy S2, which is scheduled to be held on May 3, not in Seoul but London in U.K.

Many Korean media are attracted to the fact how the event will do carry a great weight to the Korean electronics company since the success of this newly launched model should dictate the fortunes of Samsung, and shape up the upcoming mobile landscape on a global scale as well.

Given that how many "star executives" with Samsung are to visit the launching event for Galaxy S3, this will speak volume about huge importance of Samsung Mobile Unpack event which is to take place at Earls Court in London. Take a closer look at who are present at the event: Shin Jong-kyun, the head of Samsung's mobile phone division, Younghee Lee, Samsung's strategic marketing head, Lee Don-joo, Samsung's mobile division vice president and you name it.

No wonder the imminent event should be the largest scale event for Samsung Electronics so far, according to the company and Samsung is pushing ahead with the launching event in its attempt to widen, rather cement, its presence in the increasingly "two-horse smartphone race" in the world: Samsung and Apple.
