Our tests of the week
Xiaomi 14 Ultra: an excellent camera phone provided you have the budget
Xiaomi offers here a smartphone with an original design which will appeal to consumers thanks to its powerful processor, its excellent photo section and its good autonomy. The screen is very well calibrated, charging is fast and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is pleasant to hold, even if it is very thick.

Nothing Phone 2a: excellent value for money
Sold for less than 350 euros, the Nothing Phone 2a is a serious candidate if you are looking for a device that offers excellent autonomy, overall fluidity and a very well calibrated screen. We would have appreciated discovering a charger in the box and we regret the absence of graphic equalizer. On the photo side, we note good quality of the 2x optical zoom, the selfie and ultra wide angle sensor but note that there is no tele zoom sensor.

Princess Peach Showtime: an attractive game despite a short lifespan
Princess Peach Showtime is a game full of charm that will seduce you with its ingenious artistic direction, its beautiful staging and its quality original soundtrack. It’s a title suitable for all audiences and we love finding Peach without Mario. That being said, it’s a fairly short game that lacks challenge. Big downside for this latest exclusive from Nintendo, the unacceptable slow loading times.
