Product of the Year award:
The “Product of the Year” award and logo have existed since 1987. The winning products are selected based on submissions from brands and distributors. After a preliminary selection based on objective criteria, the products are judged by interested consumers who have purchased the product.
They judge products on their innovative character, attractiveness, and their user-friendliness. The product is tested in the consumer’s living environment to truly test the ease of use and added value. The satisfaction survey is conducted by Treatz under the direction of the independent research agency Nielsen, which is also responsible for collating the results.
First for an electronic company:
In recent years, various products have received the title of “Product of the Year”, but these were mainly FMCGs. These are products that have a short shelf life and are traded quickly, such as facials and soft drinks. Meanwhile, for the time, a smartphone has won this award and proudly, it’s Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4.
The Product of the Year award confirms the innovative and user-friendly character of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 smartphone. Winners make a difference because their products best meet consumer needs. These needs are constantly changing and innovations must anticipate them.
