Choosing the best tech products in the world is no easy task. Not only are thousands of new smartphones, TVs, cameras, headphones, laptops and other devices released each year, but they also keep on getting better.  

Still, that's the task we've set ourselves here at Tom's Guide, and it's one we relish. However, when it comes to voting on the Future Tech Awards winners, we have a little help.

That's because the Awards, now in their third year, are a collaboration across Future Publishing's tech sites including Tom's Guide, T3, TechRadar, What Hi-Fi, iMore and Android Central. 

The Future 50: These awards recognize 50 key people who are driving innovation in consumer technology. The shortlist is selected by a panel of Future Publishing's tech journalists and will include everyone from CEOs to product managers, designers to engineers, content creators to marketing & advertising experts and more.

Future Choice: The best products in the world, as voted for by a panel of Future Publishing's tech journalists. The winners all score highly in reviews and buying guides on Future tech sites including Tom's Guide, T3, TechRadar, What Hi-Fi, Digital Camera World, Tom’s Hardware, Laptop Mag and others.

You won't have to wait long to find out who's won, with the winners announced in January across Future’s tech sites and on our dedicated Future Tech Awards site.
