There's been a tremendous buildup of attention and hype for the Galaxy S4, the latest in Samsung's blockbuster Galaxy S franchise. In the Galaxy S, Samsung has a smartphone brand that rivals Apple's iPhone in popularity and demand.

Though the invitation doesn't specifically refer to the Galaxy S4, CNET has confirmed that the event will feature the device.

The Galaxy S3, which Samsung managed to get on virtually every major wireless carrier in the world, was one of the few breakout hits of 2012, and CNET named it the product of the year, topping Apple's iPhone 5. Samsung has been on a strong run, powered by the success of the Galaxy S3, as well as its broader lineup of handsets.

The world is waiting to see what Samsung has in store. Already rumored is eye-tracking technology that will allow you to scroll through pages with your eye movements. The company has been known to add a few extra software bells and whistles as it looks to help its phone stand out from the pack.
