The Awards Process: From Nomination to Winners
The journey to becoming a TechRadar Choice Awards winner involves several stages. Products are eligible if they were released for sale after September 1, 2024, and before September 30, 2025, with a few exceptions for categories like Best Fitness App and Best Smart Lights.
Initially, the public had the opportunity to nominate brands and products for consideration, with nominations closing on August 8, 2025. TechRadar’s editors then reviewed these nominations, alongside their own industry expertise, to curate the shortlists, which feature a maximum of 10 products per category.
Once public voting concludes, the reader votes will be tallied and combined with the rankings from TechRadar’s expert judging panel. This combined approach ensures that both consumer sentiment and expert analysis contribute to the final results. Winners for all categories will be announced during “TechRadar Choice Awards Week,” commencing on Monday, October 20th, 2025.
