The Selection Process: Reader Votes Meet Expert Judgment
The ultimate winners of most TechRadar Choice Awards 2025 categories are determined by a balanced combination of public votes and rankings from TechRadar’s expert judging panel, typically splitting the decision 50/50. This hybrid approach ensures that both consumer preference and professional analysis contribute to identifying the year’s top tech.
However, there is one notable exception: the coveted “Readers’ Choice Award,” which is chosen entirely by public vote, giving readers the sole power to decide the most popular tech of the year across various categories. The shortlists for these awards are meticulously created by TechRadar’s editors, drawing upon their extensive testing and review experience.
