Our Rigorous Testing Process

At Digit, we don’t just review products—we rigorously test them. Each product category undergoes a comprehensive and meticulous evaluation designed to assess performance without bias. Our testing process focuses solely on the product’s ability to deliver on its promises, excluding considerations for price, design, or additional features during the Zero1 Awards assessment. This approach ensures that the awards are a pure reflection of performance excellence.

Why the Zero1 Awards Matter

The Digit Zero1 Awards are unique in their singular focus on performance. Unlike other accolades that might factor in aesthetics or cost, we concentrate exclusively on how well a product fulfils its intended function. This makes the Zero1 Awards a definitive benchmark for consumers and industry professionals alike.

For instance, if you’re wondering which gaming laptop truly stands out in terms of performance in India, the Zero1 Award winner in that category is your go-to reference. It’s about identifying products that set new standards, prompting other brands to innovate and surpass these benchmarks in the coming year.

Eligibility and How to Participate

We invite brands to submit their products for consideration in the Digit Zero1 Awards 2024 and Best Buy Awards 2024. To ensure fairness and thorough evaluation, only products that have been launched and are available in the Indian market between November 15, 2023, and November 14, 2024, are eligible.

Due to the extensive testing required, we encourage early submissions to guarantee that your product receives the attention it deserves.

Digit Best Buy Awards 2024

Along with the Zero1 Award for best-performing products of 2024, we will also crown the Best Buy Award in each of the 40 categories of products in contention for this year. Unlike the Zero1 Award, which is price agnostic and only focuses on the performance of a product in each category, the Best Buy Award will only be awarded to products with the best value for money score in our category-wise product comparison sheet.

At Digit, we value not just expert opinions but also the voices of our vibrant community of readers and viewers. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the Popular Choice Awards 2024—your platform to vote for what you believe is the best gadget of the year. This is your chance to spotlight the devices that have truly made a difference in your life.

The Popular Choice Awards empower you to recognise products that have impressed you with their innovation, performance, and value. Whether it’s a smartphone that redefined your connectivity, a laptop that boosted your productivity, or a smart gadget that added convenience to your daily routine—we want to hear from you.

Participating is easy. We’ll provide a curated list of the top gadgets across various categories, and all you need to do is cast your vote for your favorites. Your votes will determine which products stand out as the most beloved by the Digit community.

Join Us in Celebrating the Best of 2024

The Digit Zero1 Awards and Best Buy Awards are more than just accolades—they’re a celebration of technological advancement and consumer value. By participating, brands not only gain recognition but also contribute to setting higher industry standards for the future.

Stay tuned as we unveil the winners who have outperformed and outvalued the competition in 2024. Whether you’re a consumer eager to find the best products or a brand striving for excellence, the Digit Zero1 Awards and Best Buy Awards are your definitive guide to the year’s top technology.
