How the winners of the Xataka Awards were selected

The mechanics of Xataka NordVPN Awards 2024 are similar to previous competitions and are divided into three stages:

1. Public voting: For several days we have opened voting on our website for all categories and candidates selected by the Xataka team. Our xatakeros voted for them and we got the finalists featured in this article.
2. Jury voting: From the finalists selected by the public, the Xataka jury and other technology experts voted for the devices they believe are the best.
3. Selection of winners: The jury’s votes were combined with those of the public to select the winners, who were announced at a gala on November 19.

The selected candidates are devices that They will go on sale in 2024 or will go on sale with a confirmed date before the end of the year.. We’ve also included those that were excluded last year when they were announced after the awards. We believe this is the best solution: unfortunately we cannot hold the gala on December 31st and our idea is that the awards can serve as support for purchasing decisions for the last half of the year.
