Mobile Industry Awards 2018 - Finalists announced

Having recently announced the longlist for the top phones and accessories categories, we are now delighted to share who will compete for the prestigious accolades at this year’s Mobile Industry Awards 2018.

The prestige of winning a Mobile Industry Award is highlighted by the fact that previous winners have included their victory in shareholder releases, emblazoned the MIA logo on staff uniforms and even taken out billboards to spread the news of their win.

Congratulations to all our Finalists - the winners will be presented with their trophies on June 7th 2018 at The Brewery, London.
