This week the Mobile World Congress 2023 (MWC 2023) was held in Barcelona. And as usual, the winners of the GLOMO (so-called Global Mobile Awards) were announced. In our case, we immediately wanted to know who won the award for the best smartphone in the “Device” category.
To the surprise of many, the big winner in the best smartphone category was the Apple iPhone 14 Pro. And it beat out some major competitors in the competition in this category, which would be obvious winners.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, Z Fold4, Google Pixel 7 Pro and Nothing Phone (1) defeated
The big losers are the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, Galaxy Z Fold4, Google Pixel 7 Pro and Nothing Phone (1), which were also in the competition. The “performance, innovation and leadership” of the team will have contributed to this.
“The Best Smartphone award combines outstanding performance, innovation and leadership, as determined by the evaluation of smartphones on the market during the period between January and December 2022, carried out by leading independent analysts, journalists and influencers”, it can be read. .
SOS emergency satellite gives Apple another award
But this wasn’t the only category where Apple and the iPhone 14 Pro stood out. That’s because the device also won in the “Device with Disruptive Innovation” category, for satellite emergency SOS functionality.
In case you didn’t know, this is a feature that Apple debuted on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, still limited to the United States. It allows users to “send SMS messages to emergency services when they don’t have mobile coverage and Wi-Fi. You can also use the Find My app to share your location with others via satellite.”
Basically, it is a way for users to access emergency services in exceptional circumstances, when they cannot otherwise.
