Well, in my previous stints I always wanted to do Gadget Awards. But I guess it did not happen because fate wanted me to do the best one first. This is my, the team’s and Gadget Bridge’s first time of giving out awards and accolades to the worthy in the field of consumer technology (Gadget Bridge Awards 2019). The year 2019 and the last decade saw some great gizmos being launched in the country. India evolved from a caterpillar of a third world country for gizmotics, where gadgets came after 6-9 months of its global launch, into the beautiful butterfly where gadgets are being launched first. We sat down and understood, which categories make the most sense as Gadget Bridge covers all things good (Tech) under the sun, for the #GadgetBridgeAwards 2019. And then we carefully sifted through the various smartphones, TVs, headphones, laptops etc, which we have used, reviewed, unboxed and/or experienced during 2019.
We have a lot of great award categories and two special sections of awards where we will need your help. Yes, you the viewers and avid readers of Gadget Bridge will be needed to vote for the Gadget Bridge People’s Choice Awards 2019. And as always, we believe in spreading the joy, so a #GadgetBridgeGiveaway is also part of this awards ceremony for the readers/viewers who participate in the voting. More details can be found here. The voting is live (you can vote here) on GagdetBridge.com as well as our Twitter page on two posts here and here. In the end, the total votes from Gadget Bridge Twitter and on Gadget Bridge Web will be added and the winners of these categories will be announced. Remember the voting closes by the 18th of December, midnight IST.
So, let’s get to it, here are all the cool categories and the nominees of our first ever #GadgetBridgeAwards. Oh, before that, let’s meet the Gadget Bridge Veterans who will decide the final winners (except Gadget Bridge people’s choice awards).
