HTC One wins GSMA's top smartphone of the year at Mobile World Congress

LG honored for its innovation

We're all patiently awaiting HTC's March 25 events in London and New York, where it's all but official that we'll get a new version of one of our favorite smartphones of the past year. (We did get a smaller announcement this week, with the Desire 816.) But today, at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, HTC's current (and very much still relevant) flagship is receiving a pretty major accolade by the GSMA, the group that puts on this little show that we call MWC.

The HTC One wins "Best Smartphone." For HTC and the smartphone industry, from the folks in the suits to the boots on the ground, this is a pretty big deal.
