The next stop in the Samsung Galaxy S4 World Tour, brought the much-hyped designer desirable to Sydney for its Australian launch, an impressive undertaking produced by the team at Event Emporium . To mark the occasion, the Sydney Opera House became a canvas for the evening with images of Australian life, photographed by Australians and submitted, beamed by the Spinifex Group onto the soaring sails.

In a marquee on the harbour front guests were introduced to the newest device from Samsung that is set to assert itself as a game changer on the smart phone market. A performance from Guy Sebastian rounded out the evening.
