The criteria for winning a Future Choice Award is very simple: the winning products have scored well in reviews and buying guides from one or more of Future's consumer technology brands, with more recommendations the better.

For example, the winner of the best TV award this year is the superb Samsung QN900A, which received multiple great reviews from Future brands and is positioned high-up in many buying guides for the best TVs on the market.

The same is true for the winner of the Future Choice Award for best smartphone, the powerhouse Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, which not only got a maximum score of 5 stars on review from T3 but also is currently listed as the "best hyper-premium phone on the market today" in T3's  best phones guide.

Another good example of an award winning product this year is the SteelSeries Arctis 7P / SteelSeries Arctis 7X. This next-gen gaming headset delivers everything a gamer playing on PS5 or Xbox Series X would want, and does so for a price that is far from wallet breaking. It's stylish, too, and received great reviews across the board from Future's consumer technology websites.

There's basically every type of product category honored in the Future Choice Awards, from the best smartwatch, through best laptop and on to best camera, among much more. So, to see the full list of winners, head on over to the official Future Tech Awards website now.
