The goal of the TechRadar Choice Awards has always been to celebrate the most beloved technology releases by allowing real users of the products to combine their experience with the expertise of our editors to choose our winners.
It’s time to take this idea one step further: in 2026, we’ll host two back-to-back award series: the TechRadar Readers’ Choice Awards and the TechRadar Product of the Year Awards. Together, these are the TechRadar Awards 2026.
They both have the same main categories, covering all the products we love to test and explore on TechRadar, ranging from TVs to tablets, drones to DACs, coffee machines to console accessories.
However, winners of the TechRadar Readers’ Choice Awards will be chosen 100% by public vote, while winners of the TechRadar Product of the Year Awards will be chosen 100% by our editors and reviewers.
Shortlists of products that readers will vote for in the TechRadar Readers’ Choice Awards will be chosen by the TechRadar team, selected from the most popular and highest-rated products released during the eligibility period (meaning they must be released between September 1, 2025 and September 31, 2026 in most cases).
