T3 Awards: Samsung and Apple bag 9 nominations each in T3 Awards shortlist

The UK's finest technology awards has reached the shortlist stage, with the T3 Awards narrowing down the candidates for the gadget gongs of 2015.

In a stellar year, Apple and Samsung's annual hostilities continue with the two tech behemoths competing with nine different nominations, including the flagship Gadget of the Year award.

The exciting worlds of VR and wearable are well represented – with the likes of the Apple Watch, Gear VR and HTC Vive all likely to be capturing headlines for years to come.

TechRadar, like T3 published by Future Publishing, is a media sponsor for the Awards which will be unveiled at a glittering event at the London's Connaught Rooms on 17 September.

T3 magazine's editor, Rob Carney, says, "This has been a massive and hugely exciting year for tech.

"With a hand-picked panel of expert judges and T3's tech-savvy readers deciding the finalists, the T3 Awards truly recognise the greats in the technology world. It's a fantastically varied shortlist with wearables being a real stand-out trend.

"The voting process always brings up some great debate amongst the judges, and the votes historically throw many a curve ball! It's going to be an interesting year."
