What are the Pocket-lint Awards 2022?
The Pocket-lint Awards is our annual event that looks to reward devices that are best in class. Over the years, these awards have honoured products across a range of categories from companies such as Apple, Samsung, Tesla, Huawei, and many more.
There are 20 individual categories in total, including Best Game, Best Camera, Best Flagship Phone, Best Smartwatch, Best TV, and more. We will also award an overall Product of the Year.
Each category has been voted on by select industry judges that are experts in their fields and the Pocket-lint team.
