SEOUL, January 12 (AJP) - Samsung Electronics said Monday its Galaxy Z TriFold device won top honors at CNET’s Best of CES 2026 Awards, taking the overall “Best Product” prize as well as the “Best Mobile Tech” award.
CNET, a U.S.-based technology outlet and an official partner of the Consumer Technology Association, works with the CTA to select winners from products unveiled at the annual CES. More than 40 technology experts evaluated entries showcased at CES 2026, Samsung said.
Judges selected 63 winners across 22 categories based on criteria including innovation, usefulness in solving consumer problems, and overall performance and quality. From that group, one product is named the show’s top overall offering.
CNET said the Galaxy Z TriFold combined “an eye-catching design with real-world practicality,” describing it as “a true hybrid product” that merges the functions of a full-size tablet and a smartphone in a slim, foldable form. The outlet said Samsung’s efforts to refine foldable devices had “paid off,” helping advance mobile hardware design.
Samsung also took top honors in the “Best TV or Home Theater” category with its premium OLED television, the S95H. CNET called the model “one of the standout TVs at CES 2026,” citing brightness levels up to 35 percent higher than the previous generation.
The S95H was also recognized as Samsung’s first OLED television to incorporate burn-in prevention technology, a feature that enables extended viewing of static images, including access to more than 5,000 artworks available through the Samsung Art Store in ultra-high definition.
In the “Best Home Audio” category, CNET selected Samsung’s Music Studio 5, which made its debut at CES 2026. The product drew attention for its design by French furniture designer Erwan Bouroullec, known for his collaboration with Samsung on the lifestyle television The Serif.
