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. 🔧

After a whole week spent in the company of Galaxy S10+ I am ready to discuss its every aspect in this full review.

How to scan QR codes with an Android phone

QR codes are everywhere: these little pixelated squares appear on billboards and poster ads, in magazines and on product packaging. Unlocking their contents can share contact info or Wi-Fi passwords, or take you to the website for a film you’ve just seen the poster for. So how do you use them? Here’s how to scan QR codes with an Android phone.

We tried the Mate X, Huawei’s folding smartphone

It didn’t take long for Huawei to respond to Samsung with its own folding smartphone. A few days after the presentation of the Galaxy Fold at the Unpacked event for the launch of the Galaxy S10, the Chinese manufacturer also unveiled its own folding smartphone, the Mate X. We were very lucky to be able to get our hands on the device for a few minutes and here are our first (very good) impressions.

LG V50 ThinQ hands-on: missing something, and not a just second screen

No, LG did not show up at the Mobile World Congress with a folding smartphone. It is still too early for such a device. However, the South Korean manufacturer has announced the V50 ThinQ, a 5G smartphone that looks to the future and tries in some way to challenge the foldable stars of this year’s MWC.

The market for rugged smartphones is booming.

AGM, a Chinese manufacturer, is another brand targeting this field by offering a “robust” smartphone. What makes it so special? It’s one of the few on the market to offer high-end specs and a Snapdragon 845 processor. We got the chance to try it and here are our first impressions.
