The Indian Gadget Awards 2023 has been a giant success this year with over 35 jury members, 35+ award categories, and over 200 nominees. While the experts have shared their picks of the lot, now we come to the most important category – Users’ Choice. We asked our readers to vote for their Most Stylish Smartphone and Most Disruptive Phone in 2023 and the winners are in. So, without further ado, let us check out winners, shall we?
Users’ Choice Award for Most Stylish Smartphone of 2023
Winner: OPPO Find N3 Flip
While a lot of stylish smartphones were launched this year that impressed users with their designs, the OPPO Find N3 Flip managed to get the award for the Most Stylish Smartphone of 2023 at the Indian Gadget Awards with the most number of votes in its favour. And it comes as no surprise given how good the phone looks, particularly with its flip design. Thanks to premium build quality, a utilitarian design, and a seamless foldable display, the phone stands out from the crowd. Also, with a compact foldable design, the phone is perfect for anyone who wants to carry around a large display but in a pocketable form factor.
But not just a compact design, the phone comes with a cover display that goes way beyond the traditional outward-facing displays on flip phones. The cover screen on this phone can replicate the main display and let you use apps such as YouTube, Google Maps, and more just like you would on the primary display. On top of this, the phone also lets you click amazing pictures through its Flex mode.
Users’ Choice Award for Most Disruptive Phone of 2023
Winner: Tecno Phantom V Fold 5G
Tecno Phantom V Fold 5G managed to bag the award for the Most Disruptive Phone of 2023 as the handset brought the foldable form factor at an unprecedented price point of just Rs 77,777 at launch, with bank discounts. Considering how no fold phone has been launched in India below Rs 1 lakh even to this date, it shows Phantom V Fold 5G truly set a benchmark with its pricing.
With a novel form factor that everybody wants to get hands on, an extremely useful cover display, and a vibrant LTPO 120Hz primary display, the Phantom V Flip 5G demands your attention. The Phantom V Fold has paved the way for smartphone manufacturers to introduce affordable foldable phones and hopefully, we might soon see other brands launch premium foldable handsets at more attractive price points as well.
