The Stuff Gadget Awards 2023: here are all the winners!
Here’s where we reward all the best tech we’ve seen during the year
Hello and welcome to the Stuff Awards 2023. Here’s where we reward the best tech we’ve seen during the year. And what better way to recognise that progress than with gongs. All celebrating their status as the cream of the gadgety crop.
We’re done with revealing the winners for this year’s awards. The Stuff Awards 2023 culminated in the reveal over the last few days of our top prize. Our Gadget of the Year trophy is one of the most prized around.
Want to see who’s won? Just go to our Awards section for the latest winning category posts or check out links to them all below. We’ve over 40 categories this year, with some additions to last year’s lists. We’ve brought them to you below in 20 separate articles, combining similar categories for ease.
How our awards work
As over the last couple of years, we have selected a winner for each category plus at least one highly recommended product. And then we give an honourable mention to anybody else who’s made our shortlist that we’d like to shout out.
Unlike some other tech sites we don’t publicise our longlist to rake in votes, gather preferred products from manufacturers or take money for entries. The winners are chosen by the team behind this website and Stuff magazine and are editorially independent of any commercial concerns. Our commercial team only sees our list once we’ve decided on winners for all the categories.
Here’s the list of all the category articles so you can see which products have won.
All of our 2023 Stuff Gadget Awards categories and winners
Apps (2018)
Streaks (£4.99) Streaks is a nifty to-do list for forming good habits and worrying less about bad ones. Unlike traditional to-do managers and calendars, which often conflate what you have to do with what you want to, Streaks helps you prioritise tasks that could actually improve your wellbeing – whether its brushing your teeth, reading […]
Action camera/drone (2018)
DJI Mavic 2 Pro (£1,349) Drone-maker DJI is on a roll. If you’d asked us a few months ago to name our favourite flying camera, we’d have blurted out the words “Mavic Air” before you’d finished the sentence. Things have changed in a short space of time and it’s all down to this handsome aerial […]
System camera (2018)
Fuji X-T3 (£1349) Introducing the best APS-C camera on planet Earth. It’s a bold statement, we know, but stick with us. You see, rather than reinvent the wheel, Fuji taken every feature on the already outstanding X-T2 and incrementally upgraded it. The result is an all-round beast of a camera that manages to astound in […]
Mobile game (2018)
Oddmar (£4.99) And it’s high ho cartoon viking, anywhere you go now baby! We’ve had that song stuck in our head ever since we picked up Oddmar, the beautifully animated, endlessly charming mobile platformer about a rather lazy viking imbued with magical powers. Admittedly, it all sounds a bit odd – heck, the clue’s in […]
Smartwatch (2018)
Apple Watch Series 4 (£529) It’s taken Apple four attempts to find its smartwatch feet, but what you’re looking at is the best smartwatch in the world. With the Series 4 in particular, Apple has honed its fancy digital timepiece into a fully baked device that feels greater than the sum of its parts. Whether […]
Cars (2018)
Jaguar I-Pace (£63,925) It’s with a sense of patriotic pride and Land of Hope and Glory emanating from the infotainment system, we can announce Jag’s electric whip takes top prize. As you would expect from a car company with racing pedigree, taking us from A to B was never going to be a dull, but […]
Gadget (2018)
Sonos Beam (£399) Fresh out of food-based projectiles and suffering from a collective loss of voice, the gadget of the year award looked like it was going to be decided by some sort of mute Royal Rumble, before one Stuffling used their notes app to remind us we should settle this like adults. Sadly with […]
Compact camera (2018)
Panasonic Lumix TZ200 (£629) The perfect travel compact should capture memories at a moment’s notice. It’s designed to be yanked out of your pocket and take the perfect holiday snap, flexible enough to get close to the action without a big bulky lens, and all while delivering better results than your smartphone. Easy then. Not […]
Headphones (2018)
Sony WH-1000XM3 Sony already had form for making some of the best active noise-cancelling headphones for relieving tortured ears, but somehow it’s created an even more compelling package with the WH-1000XM3’s. They’re Chesterfield sofa-comfortable, sound fantastic, and zap an even wider array of frequencies than Bose’s QC35 II. In fact, did Bose just get out-Bose’d? […]
Fitness tracker (2018)
Fitness Tracker of the Year: Fitbit Charge 3 (£130) With smartwatches becoming commonplace, you may have been wondering whether dedicated fitness trackers were still worth your time. The Fitbit Charge 3 answers that with a resounding ‘yes.’ An easy-to-use workout companion that’s subtle and comfortable, the Charge 3 hits the sweet spot in terms of […]
Game (2018)
Red Dead Redemption 2 (£50) After some seriously heated debate involving raised voices, hollow threats, and the odd potato-based projectile, Red Dead Redemption 2 takes the game of the year title and to be frank, it’s one of the best games we’ve played this console generation. Rockstar’s sprawling Western captivated us from start-to-finish, with its […]
Gaming gadget (2018)
PS4 Pro (£350) Substantial hardware under the hood, including a rapid CPU, powerful graphics chip and bags of memory for game developers to play with, always made the PS4 Pro an enticing proposition, but now Sony’s supercharged console has really got into its stride thanks to the delicious choice of games. Sure, the Xbox One […]
Computer (2018)
Apple MacBook Pro (£1749) Windows’ advocates will be quick to point out the Apple MacBook Pro won’t win any value-for-money awards, but as an everyday laptop that’s portable, capable, and most importantly, desirable, it has few peers. The 2018 model might look like a cut and paste of the previous iteration, but it’s a notebook […]
Hi-Fi (2018)
Sonos Beam (£399) There’s no harm in admitting Sonos’ home cinema gear has always been a bit on the expensive side, but with the Beam, the brand has managed to create a top-notch wireless soundbar that doesn’t break the bank and has the added bonus of Alexa built-in. It sounds ace, looks slick, comes with […]
Smart Home (2018)
Google Home Hub (£139) Google opted for modest with the Home Hub, building a smart home slate more compact and stylish than Amazon’s £220 Echo Show for a significantly lower price. If Google Assistant is your AI butler of choice, the tablet is absolutely unbeatable for controlling connected devices throughout the home. Whether it’s morning […]
TV (2018)
Philips +903 OLED with B&W (£2499) In what might be the most potent tech partnership of 2018, the achievement of Philips and Bowers & Wilkins with the +903 are considerable. This is a lavishly specified, handsome devil of a 4K OLED TV capable of producing a stellar Ultra HD picture combined with ear-melting audio. Indeed, […]
Streaming service (2018)
Netflix (£5.99/month) Look, it’s Netflix. If you’re wondering why it’s our streaming service of the year, we can only imagine you’ve somehow managed to binge your way through everything in the entertainment giant’s gargantuan catalogue, and that’s a lot of ‘chilling’. Getting serious for a moment, you might subscribe for the award-winning movies, effects-heavy blockbusters, […]
Budget smartphone (2018)
Honor 8X Woop-woop! That’s the sound of da police! The rozzers are after us because the Honor 8X is an absolute steal of a smartphone. You might be tempted to run a mile when you see the word ‘budget,’ but don’t be fooled by the Honor 8X’s tiny price tag, because this bad boy packs […]
