If you've been keeping tabs on the biggest tournament this summer, you'll know that the winner has now been crowned. No, not that tournament (though congratulations, Spain).

The T3 Tech Cup has pitted 48 of the best tech products against each other since 11th June. On 19th July, the cup final saw the Antigravity A1 drone take on the mighty Leatherman Arc in an all-or-nothing final, and there was only one winner.

With nearly 250 votes cast, the Antigravity A1 took 61% of the vote and the title of T3 Tech Cup Champion. This immersive drone took flying to a new level with its 360-degree approach, and it clearly captured the imagination of our readers, so a big congratulations to the team.

In the Third Place Playoffs, the Nothing Phone (3) beat the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro 54-46, giving them the bronze medal. That puts the final standing at:

  • 1st: Antigravity A1
  • 2nd: Leatherman Arc
  • 3rd: Nothing Phone 3

Antigravity A1 review

In our review of the Antigravity A1, Matt Kollat said: "The Antigravity A1 is a bold step forward for drones, delivering an immersive 360-degree flying experience that feels genuinely new. It’s expensive and niche, but also thrilling, creative and unlike anything else in the sky. If you want innovation rather than iteration, this is the drone to try."

How the T3 Tech Cup works

The T3 Tech Cup is based on the same format as the football World Cup taking place this summer. Here, instead of 48 nations from around the world, we've selected 48 of the top tech products from across the various industries T3 covers.

The format will follow the football exactly, meaning every time there's a game on TV, there's also a poll to vote on! We'll be keeping points tallies for the group stage to pick out the winners, runners-up and highest third-place finishers, which then feeds into the knockout rounds.
