Switch: Nintendo removes X-related features
While X (Twitter) integration disappears from the Switch, the latest update of the portable console removes several application-related features. If certain functions have been available for years, it makes sense that they disappear today. You will therefore no longer find the options “Publish to Twitter”, “Publish to social networks” or even “Friend suggestions”. Nintendo also took advantage of the June 10 update to improve system stability.

Our tests of the week
Citroën ë-C3: the best performance/price ratio
With its modern design and compact SUV look, the Citroën ë-C3 could appeal to many users looking for an entry-level electric car that does not compromise on performance. During our test, we were won over by the direct current charging power, the comfort of the suspensions and the habitability of the vehicle. The Citroën ë-C3, however, has some flaws such as soundproofing which can be largely improved and regenerative braking which is too weak.

Honor 200 Pro: power and beautiful screen for less than 700 euros
If we regret the absence of charger and case in the box or even the 3 years of Android update only, we love the bright screen, the well-controlled power and the fast charging of the Honor 200 Pro. On the photo side, the main module is excellent but the secondary sensors are not great for this price range. We love the pretty pattern of the blue version.

Motorola Moto G34 5G: interesting for small budgets
If you are looking for a 5G compatible smartphone at a reasonable price, the Moto G34 5G might appeal to you. Motorola offers here a device capable of taking good daytime photos and accompanied by a charger in the box. Of course, for this price, we cannot expect miracles in terms of screen definition, photography or even performance.
