The TechRadar Awards return for 2026, and we're making big changes — nominate your favorite tech products now!

TechRadar is shaking up its awards scene for 2026 with the introduction of the Readers' Choice Awards and Product of the Year Awards, placing the spotlight squarely on consumer votes rather than just expert opinions. This shift gives everyday tech users the power to nominate and vote for their favorite gadgets, democratizing the tech recognition process. It's a big deal because it reflects a growing trend towards consumer-driven accolades in a tech landscape that's increasingly shaped by user experiences and preferences. This change could reshape how tech companies innovate and market their products based on real-world feedback.
