As the 2026 edition of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) draws to a close in Barcelona, Spain, the GSM Association (GSMA), which is the organizer of the event, has issued its traditional GLOMO awards.

This year, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra won “best in show”, even though it wasn’t announced at MWC. Similarly, the “best smartphone” award went to the iPhone 17 Pro series, released back in September of last year. And those are also two devices, not one, winning best smartphone singular. Who are we to judge, though, right?

In the entry-level “best device” category, the GLOMO went to the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+, which came out in July of last year. Honor won “disruptive device innovation” for “the implementation and commercialization of silicon carbon battery technology”, as if it’s the only brand that’s done that.

There are a lot more awards, dozens in fact, that aren’t device-oriented, you can check the full list at the Source linked below.
