The Tom's Guide Hero Awards 2025 are out and they highlight the most groundbreaking, game-changing technology products of the year. The winners this year range from revolutionary laptops and foldable phones to AI-assisted helpers and represent a new era of consumer tech that is bolder than ever.
1. Best New Product: Google Gemini Live
Winning Best New Product is Google Gemini Live, a real-time AI assistant that can analyze video feeds, images, documents, and live discussions. It uses a combination of on-device performance and Gemini's cloud models to provide real-time translations, visual explanations, and voice interaction.
It's like having a smart co-pilot riding with you at all times," the editors at Tom's Guide commented.
2. Innovation Award: Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025 Edition)
The 2025 version of Asus ROG Flow Z13 won the Innovation Award for its slim, super-portable design combined with the brute force of the AMD Ryzen AI Max processor. The 2-in-1 gaming machine combines high-performance gaming with workstation-class AI functionality — in a tablet form factor.
3. Best for Students & Families: Framework Laptop 12
Built with repairability and modularity in mind, the Framework Laptop 12 impressed critics with its eco-friendly design. Its easily upgradable components, sustainable materials, and high educational accessibility made it a natural fit for Best for Students & Families.
4. Best Product Design: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7
Samsung's newest foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, took home Best Product Design due to its enhanced hinge system, continuous folding screen, and developed durability. It's evidence that foldables are not only future-forward — they're mainstream-ready.
A Year of Bold Innovation
The 2025 Hero Awards mark a robust tech trend shift:
AI is no longer simply software — it's increasingly part of hardware design.
Modular products such as Framework's laptop mirror growing demand for upgradable, eco-friendly products. Foldables are also maturing quickly, providing actual value to creatives and power users. With the lines between design, intelligence, and performance blurring, 2025 is gearing up to be one of the most thrilling years for consumers in ten years.
