Clubic published numerous smartphone tests last month. If you missed it, here are the three smartphones that caught our attention in April.

- Outstanding performance
- High-end AMOLED display
- Picture quality
- realmeUI 3.0
- Successful design
- No IP certification
- No inductive charging
- No real telephoto lens
Successful design and finishes, excellent computing power, very pleasant screen and decent battery life: the GT2 Pro is undoubtedly a convincing smartphone. Add to that a very fast charging technology as well as good performance in photography and you will understand our enthusiasm at the end of this test!
Of course, not everything is perfect: it lacks an IPX certification as well as induction charging. We would also have liked the GT2 Pro to be a bit cheaper than its starting 750 euros, even if the competition often pushes the bill higher.
2.Vivo V23

- Resolutely original design
- Good overall performance
- Quality of photos and selfies
- Charging speed
- Faulty auto refresh rate
- Mediocre ultra wide-angle (front and rear)
- Useless macro module
- Speaker quality
- Price placement vis-à-vis the competition
The biggest problem with the V23 is its price. A criticism that we already oppose to the V21 – and to the majority of vivo smartphones so to speak.
This new smartphone offers a good performance on almost all aspects, but comes up against competition that is far too fierce for it in this segment.
Of course, he has a few strengths of his own. Its design, original, is one. The emphasis on the selfie photo sensor is another. But out of there, we find a rather classic smartphone, which is struggling to find a place in a market overloaded with much more impressive references.
3.realme C35

- Excellent autonomy
- Elegant design
- Decent wide-angle shots
- Headphone jack, microSD and dual SIM
- TÜV Rheinland Certification
- Long to fully charge
- The location of the volume control buttons
- Secondary photo sensors
- Insufficient performance in game
- Not compatible with 5G or Wi-Fi 6
The screen, audio and photography parts of the realme C35 are, as expected, rather poor: it is neither more nor less than the minimum service. If the design of the smartphone is elegant, we can not help but regret the location of the volume control buttons on the left edge of the device, which regularly cause involuntary screenshots.
We weren’t impressed either by its performance, especially on the most demanding video games, or by its particularly basic interface. Nevertheless, the realme C35 could perfectly suit those who do not care about these criteria and just want a durable smartphone that would allow them above all to reach their loved ones and browse the internet.
Even if, here again, on our side we regret the lack of compatibility with the 5G networks currently in deployment in France, nor with Wi-Fi 6. In short, technologies which allow faster downloads.
