Louangé par la critique, le HTC One a été consacré meilleur téléphone intelligent de l’année cette semaine au Mobile World Congress. L’appareil, qui bénéficie depuis la semaine dernière d’un programme de remplacement aux États-Unis qui garantit le remplacement en cas de bris de l’écran dans les 6 mois suivant l’achat, devrait être mis à niveau le 25 mars prochain selon un récent tweet du fabricant taïwanais.
Du côté des tablettes tactiles, l’honneur est revenu à l’iPad Air d’Apple. Une situation plutôt loufoque lorsque l’on considère qu’Apple a toujours été absente de l’événement.
L’an dernier, le Galaxy S3 et la Nexus 7 étaient les récipiendaires respectifs des prix du meilleur téléphone intelligent et de la meilleure tablette mobile. Voici la liste complète des prix qui ont été remis par la GSMA cette année :
