Hi-Tech Mail announces the launch of the "Best Gadget of 2025" voting

Hi-Tech Mail announces the start of voting within the framework of the 16th annual award "The Best gadget of 2025 according to the Runet version". Users will choose the most worthy devices among more than 170 nominees.

In 2024, Runet users cast more than 300,000 votes for the best technologies and gadgets. Hi-Tech continues the tradition of awarding the most memorable devices in 2025. The list includes dozens of applicants in 34 nominations, divided into five categories.:

• smartphones;
• smart watches and headphones;
• laptops and tablets;
• televisions and consoles;
• neural networks and trends.

One vote is accepted from each user in each nomination. The project will announce the results in December 2025. You can vote either on separate nomination pages or on a single landing page.

"In 2025, we have updated the voting mechanics. Now, if desired, each device and technology can be studied before choosing. The most attentive readers will be able to get acquainted with the new products, their characteristics, prices and a brief description from the Hi-Tech Mail editorial staff. This year will be remembered for the boom of content created by neural networks. Therefore, in addition to gadgets, Hi-Tech Mail readers will vote for the best neural networks for generating text, images, and videos. They will also select the best memes and trendsetters of the year. The main trends among smartphones: flexible devices have become thinner, and cameras are cooler. Laptops already weigh 1 kg, and TV manufacturers are no longer chasing 8K resolution. AI is creating a revolution, and gadgets are being "optimized". But even among them, there are truly innovative devices. Hi-Tech Mail readers will have to determine who is worthy of this title," said Ivan Ostapenko, editor—in-chief of Hi-Tech Mail.
