Our tests of the week
Xperia 1 IV: an ultra premium smartphone for experts
The Xperia 1 IV is an excellent smartphone that can delight you as well as bore you. It is a high-end device that is particularly attractive for experts, who will not be afraid of the multiple technologies, codecs and particularly advanced applications, but which could put off users looking for an intuitive smartphone. We love its beautiful screen, its excellent autonomy and its qualities in terms of sound and photo.

Nothing takes up the challenge of offering a unique smartphone with an elegant and original design. We were won over by the Nothing Phone’s beautiful screen (1), its efficient overlay, its good battery life and its functions that are as simple as they are useful. We regret that the fingerprint sensor is a little short and that the charger is missing from the box. Besides these small flaws, the Nothing Phone (1) stands out and seduces us completely.

Xiaomi Smart Band 7: a convincing bracelet but too expensive?
The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 is a quality connected bracelet and the improvements compared to its predecessor are notable: with a larger screen, better autonomy, the very functional Mi Fitness app, the Smart Band 7 stands out from the game. That being said, we regret the increase in its price which could push some users to turn to the competition. Among the negative points of this new Xiaomi product, we regret the absence of integrated GPS and quick setting panel and we would have preferred a better strap attachment system.
