Another note: In terms of innovation, 2022 was a modest year, highlighting products that evolved to make new categories better, rather than exploding new ones.
Even so, we were happy to find four products that we think push the envelope and deserve another CNET honor: our Innovation Award, which recognizes technology that brings new and noteworthy ideas to market. Check out our list below.
