The reason why this year’s unveiled devices did not manage to catch the top spots was due to the entry deadline. All the judges had to submit their results in November 2014 which obviously meant only last year’s products would win.

Out of these categories, ‘Best Smartphone’ is the most intriguing and that’s where Apple’s iPhone 6 and LG G3 emerged kings. As for the budget oriented category of ‘best low-cost smartphone’ Motorola scooped the top position with the Moto E. (First Gen)
Another interesting category is the best mobile tablet award. Almost as if it was expected, Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3 was winner.
Some others include Motorola Moto 360 wearable watch for the wearable category. Samsung were not left behind as they got the Best Security award for KNOX Workspace security suite
