Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge wins Gadget of the Year at the Pocket-lint Awards

Apple, Dell and Amazon were among the winners at this year's Pocket-lint awards.

But it was Samsung that took the most coveted prize of the night winning Gadget of the Year for its Galaxy S6 Edge. 

The handset also beat Apple's iPhone 6s to this year's Best Phone title at the tech site's annual awards in Hoxton, East London.

The Gadget of the Year award is coup for the South Korean firm after its major rival Apple picked up the same award last year for its iPhone 6.

Apple didn't perform poorly at the awards, however. It won the Best Tablet category with its iPad mini 4, beating the Microsoft Surface 3 to the title. 

The Apple Watch was named Best Wearable in a crowded category, with the Withings Activite taking second place.
