Samsung has announced that it won 80 prestigious awards at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015 Innovations Awards.
CES, the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow held by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) every year, has honoured Samsung with prestigious awards, including 76 awards last year.
Among the CES awards for 2015, Samsung was recognised with one Best of Innovation award, 31 Best of Home Entertainment honours and several others for connected home technologies.
Products entered in the CES Innovation programme are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the media to honour outstanding design and engineering in cutting-edge consumer electronics products across 28 categories.
Additional honours are awarded individually by top media and industry organisations in attendance at the event that spotlighted Samsung technology among the tens of thousands of new products announced at this year’s event.
“Samsung continues to focus on putting the consumer first by delivering first-class, groundbreaking products and services across categories,” says Michelle Potgieter, director of Corporate Marketing and Communications at Samsung Electronics SA.
“We are pleased that CEA and the industry continue to recognise our commitment to bring new value to peoples’ lives through exceptional next-generation technologies that will transform the way we live.”
