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. 🔧

How to buy a smartphone from China

Chinese phones, with the exception of the OnePlus 7 Pro, aren’t having a great time in the US right now. Thanks to the escalating US-China trade war and the current administration’s suspicion of espionage, there are countless great smartphones from Chinese manufacturers that haven’t officially made their way to the US. To get your hands on one of these phones and benefit from low prices, you’ll either have to buy a plane ticket or find a trustworthy online retailer to ship it to you. Since the process can be fraught with hassles and bad surprises, here are the things you need to know before buying a smartphone phone from China.

Xiaomi Mi 9: will you be mine?

The MWC in Barcelona served as the stage for the triumphant entry of Xiaomi’s latest star. The Mi 9 attempts to stand up to the competition with a package worthy of admiration. And not only for having the latest technology, as you would expect from any flagship these days, but for having a price tag that is almost scandalous. The Xiaomi Mi 9 is a worthy opponent in today’s high-end market. What’s more, it could even occupy one of the top places on the podium. I’ll tell you why in this full review.
