January was a particularly busy month, with CES 2025 and the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Nvidia's new RTX 5xxx cards. In addition to these big announcements, some products stood out. Here is the selection of the 7 best products tested by 01net.com in January.
Summary
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review: an excellent smartphone, but too few innovations
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has all the good points that make it one of the best choices on Android: a refurbished and excellent interface, great photo versatility, a high-performance chip, good battery life and a more comfortable design.
The biggest problem with the Galaxy S25 Ultra is therefore not to be found in its qualities or its faults, but in the lack of innovation it demonstrates. It is difficult at this stage to recommend it instead of an S24 Ultra whose price has dropped. That being said, the product is still excellent if you fall for the latest model, you will not be disappointed.
PNY GeForce RTX 5080 test: DLSS 4 and AI work miracles in 4K… at 1179 euros
Increased performance and interesting technical developments, that's already not bad. But these take their measure when we add raytracing and DLSS 4, to arrive at 4K gaming without compromising on either fluidity or visuals. This is the very tempting promise of this graphics card, offered here by the manufacturer PNY at the same price as the Founders Edition from Nvidia. Discover our test of the PNY GeForce RTX 5080 OC.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ test: still unbeatable value for money?
The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is the most high-end of the Redmi Note 14 with its price of 503 euros. Despite this price, it has one of the best charges on the market according to 01Lab measurements. Enough to counterbalance a somewhat weak autonomy. Xiaomi's smartphone also has a good screen and a fairly effective 200 Mpx main photo module. On the other hand, its four years of major updates and its average performance are to be taken into account. Nothing prohibitive at this price, however.
Test of the Moustache Mardi 27.4: versatility is its strength
Not content with being a very good urban e-bike, the Moustache Mardi 27.4 is also an excellent electric bike for trying out slightly more muscular outings on back roads. This great versatility, coupled with driving comfort and good manufacturing quality, make it an excellent choice. Discover our full test of the Moustache Tuesday 27.4.
OnePlus 13 test: excellent, it sets the bar very high for 2025
From the beginning of the year, OnePlus has given us an excellent smartphone. Top-notch performance, numerous photo features, excellent screen, fluid and pleasant interface, all topped off with good battery life, the OnePlus 13 has set the bar high for the year 2025.
However, it leaves a little ground by only offering a major update period of four years. Its X3 telephoto lens also does not allow it to claim the same photo versatility as ultra-premium smartphones. Its price of 1000 euros is nonetheless competitive given the service offered. Discover our test of the OnePlus 13.
LinkBuds Open test: all of Sony's know-how in open true wireless
Open headphones are all the rage, and Sony could not let this pass. Here is a very conclusive attempt. The Japanese manufacturer accumulates the good points: good sound quality, good battery life, excellent spatialization, comfort and stability in the ear and a complete application. Perhaps a little too complete, even if it means complicating life. Check out our review of the Sony LinkBuds Open.
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition review: performance and good battery life in an ultra-thin design
The Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition is a very good office PC. It offers comfortable battery life and cathedral silence when used, all in a thin and light metal chassis. We rather liked its LCD screen (IPS), which is quite accurate in color reproduction, even if the anti-reflective coating condemns regular outdoor use. In addition, the Chinese manufacturer could have avoided the preinstallation of bloatware on Windows 11. Discover our test of the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition.
