The T3 Awards 2025 sees the very best products in each category. While the full T3 Awards shortlist contains 85 awards over 14 categories, some of the most hotly contested are in the technology sector.
Technology is the lifeblood of T3 and covers everything from phones, tablets and laptops to TVs, headphones and gaming. These are some of the biggest purchases you make, outside of your home and car, so the importance of getting it right is huge.
Each year, we see new versions of most of these products, with each generation offering more features and better performance, so it's rare that the same device will win in multiple years.
All the products featured in the technology shortlist for this year's awards have been thoroughly tested by the T3 team. They have been designated as top products and worthy finalists, but ultimately, there can only be one winner.
Here are this year's finalists in the Technology section.
