The winners of the first-ever GLOMO Awards Asia have been announced during Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2026, with foldable smartphones emerging as some of the biggest winners at the event.

Leading the awards was the Honor Magic V6, which secured two major honors: Best Smartphone and Disruptive Device Innovation. The dual victories highlight Honor’s continued progress in the foldable smartphone market and recognize the company’s efforts in pushing mobile hardware and design forward.

Meanwhile, the newly unveiled vivo X Fold6 received the Best In Show – Product award, adding another accolade to the growing list of achievements for premium foldable devices.

The GLOMO Awards Asia debut this year as the successor to the long-running Asia Mobile Awards. Organizers describe the new awards program as an evolution of the previous initiative, building upon nearly two decades of recognizing innovation and excellence across the mobile industry.

The Honor Magic V6, which was officially introduced in March, has gained attention for its thin and lightweight foldable design, flagship specifications, and productivity-focused features. Its success at the awards suggests strong industry recognition of the device’s engineering and overall user experience.

The vivo X Fold6, unveiled during the same week as the awards ceremony, represents vivo’s latest entry into the premium foldable smartphone segment. Winning the Best In Show – Product award immediately upon launch underscores the positive reception the device has received from industry experts and event attendees.

The results also highlight the growing importance of foldable smartphones within the broader mobile market. Once considered niche products, foldables are increasingly being recognized as flagship devices capable of driving innovation in design, display technology, multitasking, and productivity.

With Mobile World Congress Shanghai serving as one of the industry’s major annual events, the inaugural GLOMO Awards Asia provide a new platform for recognizing standout products and technological advancements across the region’s rapidly evolving mobile ecosystem.
