The goal of the TechRadar Choice Awards has always been to celebrate the most beloved tech 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 further: in 2026, we’ll offer two sets of consecutive awards: meet the TechRadar Readers’ Choice Awards and the TechRadar Product of the Year Awards. Combined, these are the 2026 TechRadar Awards.
They both have the same core categories, covering all the products we love to test and explore at TechRadar, from TVs to tablets, from drones to DACs, from coffee machines to console accessories.
However, the winners of the TechRadar Readers’ Choice Awards will be chosen 100% by public voting, while the winners of the TechRadar Product of the Year awards will be chosen 100% by our editors and reviewers.
The 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).
