The EE Pocket-lint Awards are back and they will be a physical event this year. Here’s everything you need to know, including the longlist nominations.
The annual EE Pocket-lint Awards are back for 2022, with a physical event to celebrate the best of the best tech after two years of virtual celebration.
The EE Pocket-lint Awards will take place on Wednesday 30th November 2022 at a venue in central London and they will celebrate the best products we have seen over the last year.
What you need to know about the EE Pocket-lint Awards Long List Nominations
Below is the list of nominations for the awards. This list is compiled from the products we’ve seen and reviewed over the past year. To be eligible for nomination, the product must have been seen by Pocket-lint. The long list will cover many devices before being whittled down to a short list before final judging in November.
We will continue to add to it as we review other devices, to ensure that the list of award-winning products includes as many of the products launched in 2022 as possible. The list will also include devices considered to be the best in class in previous years – if they’re still the best money can buy, that’s what we’ll recognize.
If your product or brand isn’t on the list, now’s the time to make sure the Pocket-lint team has had access to it, so it can be listed.

What are the Pocketlint Awards?
The Pocket-lint Awards are held annually and aim to recognize devices that are best in class. Over the years, these awards have honored products in a range of categories, from companies such as Apple, Samsung, Tesla, Huawei, and more.
There are 20 individual categories in total, including Best Game, Best Camera, Best Featured Phone, Best Smartwatch, Best TV, and more. We will also reward the product of the year. You can find previous Product of the Year winners here.
Each category is voted on by the Pocket-lint team and selected judges who are experts in their field.
