GSM Association a acordat, la Mobile World Congress de la Barcelona, premiile pentru cele mai bune gadgeturi din 2013. In mod surprinzator, Samsung si Sony nu s-au aflat printre castigatori.
In cadrul galei Global Mobile Awards, juriul format din 175 de analisti, jurnalisti si experti a desemnat HTC One 2013 drept cel mai bun telefon al anului.
Pe locurile urmatoare in topul celor mai bune smartphone-uri s-au clasat iPhone 5s, Samsung Galaxy S4, LG G2, Nokia Lumia 1020, Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
“ HTC One a fost unul dintre cele mai avansate smartphone-uri din 2013. Designul si interfata au oferit utilizatorilor o experienta diferita, care s-a facut remarcata fata de concurenta”, a motivat juriul.
Cel mai bun smartphone low-cost a fost desemnat Nokia Lumia 520, iar
Nokia 105 a primit premiul pentru cel mai bun featurephone. LG a fost desemnat drept cel mai inovator producator de device-uri din lume in 2013.
La categoria tablete, marele premiu a fost castigat de iPad Air, care a reusit sa devanseze, in preferintele juriului modelele iPad Mini 2, Google Nexus 7 si Sony Xperia Tablet Z .
“Am acordat premiul tabletei Apple pentru ca imbina performanta pura cu forma zvelta si atractiva, iar ecosistemul in care functioneaza are un avantaj clar in ceea ce priveste aplicatiile optimizate pentru tablete”, a afirmat juriul GSM Association.
