LG Cleaned Up at Mobile World Congress with 33 awards

So, it's something we discussed during our hangout the other day, that it's not about having the highest or biggest stats, it's about having some cool innovation in what you do bring to the table.  Make it smarter, not bigger.

And nobody seemed to do it better than LG.  As much as that's my opinion, it also seemed to be the opinion of several folks at Mobile World Congress, as they raked in dozens of awards, including:

 - Best Mobile Handset (LG G5)
 - Best of MWC 2016
 - Best Smartphone
 - Best Innovation
 - Most Innovative
 - Top Tech of 2016

Who do you think took the brass ring at MWC?
