While MWC concluded this week, recipients of the GLOMO (Global Mobile Awards) include Apple, TCL and Motorola. Awards are presented each year in several categories, including mobile technologies, all digital, devices, Tech4Good and government leadership. We’re looking at the recipients of this year’s awards in the “Device” category.
The award for “Best Smartphone” went to the Apple iPhone 14 Pro. Other entries being considered for the award include the Google Pixel 7 Pro, Nothing Phone (1), Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4.
Here’s what the site says about the award:
The Best Smartphone award combines outstanding performance, innovation and leadership, as determined through the evaluation of smartphones on the market for the period January 2022 to December 2022 by the world’s leading independent analysts, journalists and influencers.
For the “Disruptive Device Innovation”, Apple wins again with its Emergency SOS via Satellite. Apple’s iPhone 14 launch event showed the world that satellites can be used to communicate in an emergency without requiring any special hardware.

Soon after, T-Mobile announced its partnership with SpaceX to fill the dead zones within the US that would be possible with older devices, and MediaTek announced that its future chipsets will support satellite data connections. Other devices being considered for the award include Google’s Tensor 2 chip, Qualcomm Snapdragon and Sony’s IMX989 camera sensor.
On the subject of satellite communication, this next award was also given to a satellite-related device. The “Best in Show” award goes to Bullit’s Motorola Defy Satellite Link. Powered by MediaTek silicon, the device uses Bluetooth to interface with a smartphone and can send SMS messages anywhere you have a clear view of the sky.
Other devices considered here include the Honor Magic Vs, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and Oppo Find N2 Flip. In this category, “The award will be judged on the basis of the best products on display and will be considered by a select panel of judges physically present at the show. The award will be presented directly at the stand of the winning organization and will take place separately from the main GLOMO awards ceremony”.
