Sweet baby Jesus, this could be it. Samsung has sent invites bearing the words, “Come and meet the next Galaxy”. The event is set to take place at an undetermined location 3 May.

Minus a few splashes of blue and white oil-paint, there is precious little information on the invitation, with Samsung being even cagier than Apple was with its new iPad launch invite.

The event will fall under the “Samsung Mobile Unpacked” banner, which is a big deal as phones launched this way include the Nexus and the S II, two of Samsung’s most well-received mobile devices.

According to various leaked info bites, the Galaxy S III was supposed to launch 22 May, but this rumour quickly deflated.

Specs are rumoured to include a quad-core CPU in the mix, which is nothing new these days. Other standard upgrades include Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0), ceramic housing and a 4.65 Super AMOLED display.

As for a possible 3D display, forget about it says Samsung.
