NOMINATIONS
How we pick the winners
The Pocket-lint team will review all the entries and select the very best to create a longlist on Thursday 12 September 2019 before whittling it down to a shortlist announced on Thursday 3 October 2019 in each category.
The shortlist will then go to both a list of judging experts around the world and our readers to decide the winners in a public vote. The voting will run from Thursday 3 October until Sunday 3 November.
The winners will be announced at an awards party at BAFTA, in London on Thursday 14 November 2019.
VOTING
How voting works
Voting is simple and allows you to vote for the products you want to win, you do not need to vote in every category, nor for every product.
Once all the scores are in, we tally up those results and the product with the highest score wins. We think this is the fairest way of doing it because it means you aren’t rating the products against each other, but simply on their own merit.
The public vote counts towards 10 per cent of the overall score for each product or service nominated. If you are a nominee we recommend you getting your customers involved. In past years it really has made a difference to the overal winners.

PREVIOUS WINNERS
Product of the Year winners since 2005
Each year Pocket-lint awards just one product the coveted Pocket-lint Award Product of the Year.
Here are the winners of the Product of the Year award since 2005 when the Pocket-lint Awards first started. For all the winners over the years click here.
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2018
Huawei P20 Pro
As stated in its individual category above, the Huawei P20 Pro is the Pocket-lint readers' and judges' favourite smartphone of the year. It is also the product of the year, full stop. In many ways, this might come as a surprise, but it is an incredible device for its price and a real indication that Huawei is now mixing it with the big boys in this field. Superb.
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2017
Nintendo Switch
The Switch is a revolutionary console. It doesn't fade in the face of PS4 or Xbox One, it strides down it own path. With an amazing selection of great games that continue to grow for many it'll redefine on-the-go gaming, not just at-home gaming, thanks to top first-party titles.
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2016
Amazon Echo
Echo is more about Alexa, Amazon's personal assistant, than a straightforward Bluetooth speaker. We wish the quality of audio was better and there was a built-in battery - that would see Amazon on to be an absolute winner if so.
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2015
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
When design is done correctly it fuses aesthetics with functionality. The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge does exactly that; it's a phone that will turn heads, rightfully reinforcing its position as the most enticing flagship on the market and the most exciting phone we've seen for some generations. Best go raid the piggy bank.
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2014
Apple iPhone 6
We suspect the iPhone 6 Plus will be the source of perplexity for a long time to come. Bigger really is bigger, but not always better.
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2013
Apple iPad Air
Apple has done it again creating a tablet that is better than the last. Simply put the iPad Air is the best iPad the company has ever made. It's light, it's thin, it's fast, in short it is amazing. The problem for Apple, and this is a good thing for you and us, is that in creating the iPad Air we suspect that once you buy this model you won't need or want to upgrade for a long, long time.
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2012
Windows 8
If you're a Windows 8 user, upgrading to 8.1 is a no-brainer. If you're considering Windows 8 for the first time, then 8.1 should offer the incentive you need to use it. The UI still favours the touch interface, but the core OS is amazing, and it's truly a great upgrade to Windows
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2011
Apple iPad 2
Yes, the cameras could have been better on the iPad 2, the screen could have been a higher resolution and we’re desperate to see iOS5 enhancements, but overall, we love the iPad 2. We love it like we loved the original. We just don't love it quite as much as we'd expected that we would
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2010
Amazon Kindle
Astonishing value for access to the best ebook ecosystem around, this is going to be a game changer when it comes to reading books on the go.
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2009
Spotify
Some minor foibles don't detract from what is a great music service, so long as you can get access to it.
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2008
MSI Wind
With a great screen and fantastic keyboard this is a mini-notebook that doesn't compromise on usability or features
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2007
Nintendo Wii
Although the graphics aren't up to what gamers will be expecting for a next generation console, the gameplay and its interactivity will have you jumping around the living room with joy
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2006
BlackBerry Pearl
Where the phone will succeed is those looking for more messaging, but not prepared to go for the rather large full Qwerty keyboard option already offered by RIM.
PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2005
Apple iPod nano
Could this be the iPod killer everyone has been waiting for? Most definitely.
