Vote for your Phone of the Year in the 2014 TrustedReviews Awards
If none of the above handsets have captured your imaginations over the past 12 months, fret not. There are 11 handsets in total contesting the Phone of the Year category.
With some manufacturers having pushed out a number of impressive devices during 2014, Apple, Samsung and Sony all have multiple handsets in contention.
Phablets have becoming an increasingly popular smartphone option for many, both the iPhone 6 Plus and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 have pushed the market on this year.
It’s not all about the inches, though. Early in the year, the sub-sized Sony Xperia Z1 Compact wowed us with its high-end specs in a pocketable form factor, earning its spot in the Phone of the Year race.
In what has been something of a breakthrough year for the Chinese manufacturer, Huawei is also represented on the Phone of the Year long list through the hugely impressive Huawei Ascend Mate 7.
Finally, the Google Nexus 6 has been given a wildcard entry to the Phone of the Year long list thanks to its impressive specs sheet and the Nexus line’s past successes.
If you want your say on which is the best phone of 2014, you can cast your votes now. You better act fast though, voting closes on Monday, November 17. Your votes will help whittle down a short list of the best devices before our expert panel select a final winner.
