HTC One wins GSMA “Best New Mobile” award at the MWC

Probably with little surprise, the HTC One has won the best new mobile device as the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Voted for by a panel of industry experts from the media and analyst communities, the award recognises the mobile device that the judges believe holds the most promise for success in the market this year, providing game-changing features, design or functionality.

Accepting the award, Benjamin Ho, Chief Marketing Officer for HTC said; “We are delighted by the reactions from both consumers and the industry to the new HTC One. It is a device that has been years in the making and is one of which we are incredibly proud. With exciting features like BlinkFeed, BoomSound, UltraPixel camera combined with the zero gap aluminium body design, we believe that the HTC One will really change the way that people use their phones, revolutionising the overall mobile experience.”

The HTC One is expected to launch in Ireland sometime after March 15 and it is great to see one of the original Android manufacturers releasing a phone that is so hotly anticipated.
