Samsung Is Holding A Big Public Event In Times Square For The Next Galaxy Phone

Not content with a traditional press event, Samsung is holding a public unveiling of its next flagship phone, the Galaxy S IV, in Times Square on March 14.

Samsung tweeted the public invitation this morning.

The Times Square event will happen at the same time as the one for the press at Radio City Music Hall.

It's a clever bit of marketing by Samsung. Instead of limiting its biggest launch of the year to a few journalists and analysts, the public at large can join in the fun.

If you want to go, head to Times Square on March 14 by 7 p.m. Eastern. Or if you'd rather keep up with the news from the comfort of your own home or office, we'll be live blogging the Galaxy S IV here on SAI.

Here's the invitation:
