Phones Canada is thrilled to share the exciting news from the Global Mobile Awards (GLOMO) at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in Barcelona. The Google Pixel 8 series has been crowned as the Best Smartphone of the year, marking a significant achievement for Google.

According to Rick Osterloh, Google’s SVP of Devices & Services, winning this esteemed award is a major milestone for the company. This recognition highlights Google’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the smartphone industry.

The Best Smartphone award is a prestigious honor that recognizes outstanding performance, innovation, and leadership in the market. It is determined by world-leading independent analysts, journalists, and influencers based on smartphones available from January 2023 to December 2023.

In previous years, top contenders like Apple’s iPhone and Samsung’s Galaxy series have claimed this coveted title. However, in 2024, it was Google’s Pixel 8 series that stole the show with its impressive features and capabilities.

The Pixel 8 series includes the Pixel and Pixel 8 Pro models, which come equipped with advanced AI features such as Magic Editor, Best Take, and Audio Magic Eraser. These innovative features have resonated well with consumers who appreciate cutting-edge technology in their smartphones.

Google’s success with the Pixel lineup is evident from its Q4 sales figures and reports indicating a significant milestone in Pixel phone sales last year. With plans to ship another 10 million units in 2024, Google is poised to continue its momentum in the smartphone market.

As we celebrate this momentous occasion for Google and the Pixel 8 series, we extend our congratulations to the entire Pixel user community for their support. Stay tuned for more updates on Phones Canada as we follow Google’s journey in shaping the future of mobile technology.
