T3 Awards 2014: All the winners

Gadget of the Year & The Gaming Award: Sony PS4

It's official - the T3 Gadget of the Year is the Sony PS4, but that's not all, it's also bagged The Gaming Award too! This sleek black box is our next-gen console of choice thanks to its awesome controller, slick UI and a strong library of games that is only going to get better (Uncharted 4 anyone?). We love Remote Play, it's easy to share your game footage and PS+ is still a great deal.

Phone of the Year: HTC One M8

The Design Innovation Award: Apple Mac Pro

While it has only been around for a short amount of time, Apple's top end desktop computer has already made quite a name for itself in the design world. With the sleek black build, curved top and dinky size, it's both futuristic and minimal at the same time. With up to 12-cores it's twice as fast as the previous Mac Pro, can be configured to 64GB RAM with up to 6GB of dedicated VRAM, making it pack a whole lot of oomph.

It's still the best looking fitness wearable out there, lasts for at least a week on a single charge and the app itself is seriously impressive.
