    Samsung launches a lot of products every year, and some of them end up being the best in their respective categories. Now, the company has won multiple awards in the 2020 edition of the European Hardware Community Awards. The winners of these awards are chosen based on a survey, which reaches over 20 million consumers.

    The South Korean tech giant was chosen as the best smartphone brand of 2020. Samsung's internal and external SSDs won awards, too. The 980 Pro, which Samsung's first PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, won the best internal SSD award. The Portable SSD T5 won the award for the best external storage.

    Samsung launched the 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVME SSD a few months ago, and it can reach peak sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,000MB/s and 5,000MB/s, respectively. It comes in 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB versions. The Portable SSD T5 was launched way back in 2017, and it is still among the best portable SSD storage devices.

    The company launched various smartphones this year, including the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 5G, and the Galaxy Z Fold 2. Sadly, the company didn't win the award for the best TV brand, and rival firm LG clinched the award for its OLED TVs.

    Apple won the award for the best smartwatches, and Amazon won the smart home products category. Dell, ASUS, and Microsoft won the laptop, gaming laptops, and 2-in-1 laptop categories. You can see the complete list of awards and winners here.
