Best Smartphone
Winner: Samsung – Samsung Galaxy S IIDevice Manufacturer of the Year
Winner: Samsung
I have a Galaxy S II myself and absolutely love it. It is powered by a powerful Exynos dual-core chip, 1GB of RAM, excellent optics (8MP/2MP) and comes with a brilliant 4.3” Super AMOLED Plus display – specs which were best-in-class back in early 2011.
While the Galaxy S II was only released a few months ago, we are already close to seeing the next in line: the hotly-anticipated Galaxy S III which is expected to have a quad-core chip, 1GB+ RAM, 8MP backside-illuminated camera and a 4.8” Super AMOLED HD Plus display.
Last year, iPhone 4 was given the Best Smartphone Award whereas HTC received the Device Manufacturer of the Year award. To see the full list of 2012’s award-winning apps, phones, tablets, companies and their technologies, visit the link embedded below.
