Samsung Galaxy S3 Launch

I know this is late but late is better than never. Should probably penalty myself for each late post if I may so that I stop giving such excuse -.-"

Anyway was invited to the launch of Samsung Galaxy S3 last month. Galaxy S3 is one of the most anticipated phone managed to hype the world into getting their hand first on the device. The event was a big success and one of the grand one I attended this far. Held at One World Hotel (Bandar Utama) Ballroom, people started flocking in hour before the launch.

There's also a live band just to suit the theme of the Galaxy S3 to entertain the attendees.

Guest were greeted by lovely Mc Wan Zaleha

And was later officiated by Managing Director Kwon Jae Hoon

Soon there was a product live demonstration by Benn Lee Go, Product Marketing Manager who gives the guest a glimpse of what what Samsung Galaxy S3 is capable off. The floor was amazed with what it had to offer.

It is always dangerous to do live feature demonstration but with the power of a quad-core processor and the authentic capabilities of a Galaxy S3, everything went smoothly without a hitch. The only problem was to hold back the drools before heading to the product preview section where everyone gets a feel of the actual device. Numerous eager blogger was spotted there and can you recognise them?
