The Trusted Reviews Awards are a yearly celebration of the best products, companies and services in the world of tech. Our team of experts pick the best products from many categories, including mobile, TV/Audio. Cameras and more and celebrate the best of the best.
In many previous years, the Awards have been an event in London attended in person and live streamed over our social media channels. However, this year we’ve had to make a few changes and take the whole event online. You’ll be able to follow the awards as they’re announced across the week.
Thoughts from the Mobile editor
It’s been another jam-packed year of mobile tech. We’ve had some huge improvements to smartphone cameras, Apple bringing across a desktop-quality chipset to an iPad and Wear OS getting a big redesign thanks to Samsung and Google. It feels good to be able to champion all this excellent tech with our annual awards.
