Trusted Reviews Awards 2020: All our smartphone, tablet and wearable nominees

The Trusted Reviews Awards 2020 is here and we’ve got a lot to cover in the smartphone, tablet and wearable category.

2020 saw big events like MWC cancelled, major device launches pushed back and a whole lot of change in the mobile industry, but that doesn’t mean it’s been light on big releases. If anything, it feels the opposite.

We’ve reviewed a load of excellent smartphones, top-drawer tablets and wearables this past year and here is where we honour the best the mobile industry has to offer.

All winners will be voted for by Trusted Reviews staff, a panel of tech experts and you – our loyal readers. To cast your vote just use the widgets below and read on for the full shortlist for each category.
