Samsung has finally dropped the line on the Galaxy S III sending out official invites for a Samsung Mobile unpacked event in London on May 3rd. That’s the official word now as a number of websites around the world report receiving the invitation that says simply “Come and Meet the Next Galaxy.” Samsung plans to live stream the event which begins at 7pm local time (2pm EDT, 11am PDT) via its official Facebook page.

With an official event on the books will that put a stop to the fake renders floating around? That’s unlikely but at least we know in a little more than two weeks we’ll finally have all the official specs on Samsung’s next flagship device. More importantly we hope Samsung announces both US carrier availability and a launch date, for a device they’ve stated they want to launch at the same time globally.
