500: maintenance mode

Greetings from the Engine Room!

Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.

Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet. But what we do know is:

The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.

What now?

Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no server problems there – promised.

Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧

The OnePlus 8 is the thinking-man’s 5G phone right now

Fancy launch events are on hold for all smartphone manufacturers at the moment, as the live stream keynote becomes the saving grace. I was able to go hands-on with the OnePlus 8 ahead of the launch.

While the new OnePlus 8 looks more like a shrunken OnePlus 7T Pro with the latest hardware, OnePlus puts everything a smartphone fan can expect from a flagship product into the 8 Pro. In our first hands-on with the OnePlus 8 Pro, we show you that the manufacturer has added key features that were missing in the past.

Huawei without Google: is it actually workable?

So you have decided to pick up a new Honor or Huawei device because you love the hardware specifications and its ecosystem, although there is the relatively unknown land of living with an Android-powered device sans Google apps. In fact, if you were to use the Phone Clone app to migrate from your G-suite enabled Huawei/Honor device to the new handset, there is no guarantee that all of the previously downloaded or purchased apps from the Play Store will work. I have spent some time with a large number of apps to navigate this tricky labyrinth in order to compile a number of issues that you might run into, and how to solve them.

Honor 9X Pro review: jumping into the cold water

The Honor 9X Pro looks similar to some of its predecessors and siblings of the Honor and Huawei brands. New are modernized equipment and especially the 7nm chipset with more AI and graphics performance. In addition to brisk work and gaming speeds, the affordable smartphone also takes good photos thanks to its triple camera. Unfortunately, the software is not yet in a competitive condition.

In our review of the Huawei Mate Xs, we find out for you what advantages and disadvantages it brings with it in everyday life and whether the investment is worthwhile for everyone.

Why are smartphone repairs so expensive?

The guys and girls at iDoc are professionals when it comes to smartphone repair. In the name of helping people to help themselves, they create high-quality repair instructions and do teardowns. The latest one is dedicated to Google Pixel 4. You can order a replacement display, which alone costs more than many low-budget smartphones. We asked why the prices for smartphone spare parts are so high.

Huawei MateBook D 14 review: excellent value for money

Despite a very complicated 2019, Huawei has held on to its ambitions in the notebook market with all its might. Supported by Microsoft and its Windows 10, the Chinese manufacturer continues to offer interesting alternatives to the classic computer products. Released in February of this year, the MateBook D 14 is a serious contender in the mid-range notebook market. The first reviews and videos on YouTube raved about this computer in glowing terms. But what do we think?
