One of the most prestigious events at Mobile World Congress is the GSMA Mobile Awards. I’m sure those nominated in the various categories are like celebrities at the Oscars and just “happy to be nominated”, but the truth of a product or service is winning a top award. This year saw Samsung grab hold of the “Manufacturer of the year” and also took home the “Best Smartphone” with the Galaxy S II (which has now sold over 20 million units worldwide in 10 months). In addition, Apple, Google, Rovio all received awards. Here’s a list of some winners:
Best Smartphone: Samsung for Samsung Galaxy S II
