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. 🔧

Xiaomi Mi4c review: the half-price Nexus 5X

The Xiaomi Mi4c is now available, with a specs sheet that’s very much like the Nexus 5X’s, at half the price. In many ways, it’s the phone we all wanted the 2015 Nexus to be. I spent a few days getting to know the Mi4C, putting it through its paces and seeing how it compares to devices that cost double or triple the price. Find out how it performed in our full Xiaomi Mi4c review.

Galaxy S6 drop test: how easily does it break?

From which height can you drop the Galaxy S6 before it breaks? I wanted to know this since Samsung switched the design of its flagship from bendable plastic to breakable glass. Then my chance came – via post. Evolutive Labs, the manufacturer of the RhinoShield Crash Guard, sent me a Galaxy S6 wrapped in its sturdy bumper case for one purpose. To try to smash it.

Google Chromecast 2 review: does the new Chromecast deliver?

The original Chromecast is a nifty little device that let you wirelessly ‘cast’ what’s on the screen of your smartphone, tablet or laptop to your monitor or TV. You simply connect the HDMI dongle to your TV and pair it with your portable device via a Wi-Fi connection. It has been a roaring success, and now, two years later we have a sequel, the Chromecast 2. Does the new generation provide a credible upgrade? Find out in our Chromecast 2 review. Best Chromecast apps Chromecast tips and tricks
