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. 🔧

Pocophone F1: the flagship killer-killer

Xiaomi has created a new mobile phone brand known as Pocophone. The name sounds quite cute and harmless, but it will cause other manufacturers to sweat, since Xiaomi is aggressively trying to reach customers with the Pocophone F1. There’s no competitor that offers so much technology for so little money, at least on paper. After testing the Pocophone F1, it’s clear that if Xiaomi continues on this trajectory, rival brands will have plenty to worry about.

LG Tone Platinum SE review: I don’t care if they make me look dorky

At IFA, LG introduced new in-ear headphones – the LG Tone Platinum SE. These intriguing headphones have a Google Assistant button and want to inspire with Harman Kardon sound. But our experience with them shows that the design poses a very special challenge for many…but it’s more social than technical. Quality has a price, and LG isn’t cutting corners LG G7 One hands-on: does it offer more than just Android One?

Xiaomi Pocophone F1 display: there’s always a catch!

Xiaomi is shaking up the smartphone market with its outrageously cheap Pocophone F1. So it makes sense to take a closer look at this new candidate in the race for smartphone of the year. To get the price this cheap, the Chinese brand must have been cutting corners somewhere. Could it perhaps have been on the display?

Xiaomi Pocophone F1 performance review: full throttle at all times

With the Pocophone F1, Xiaomi has shocked the smartphone industry and delighted its customers. The device offers mega power on paper at an extremely low price – there must be a catch! But at least in the performance tests we carried out, we simply didn’t find it. The thing is scarily fast!

V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless headphones: excellent sound, no extras

I recently wrote about the fact that there isn’t a perfect Bluetooth headset, and now the manufacturer V-Moda is getting the chance to prove itself. The American brand has been manufacturing eye-catching headphones for some time now and, in this review, we’ll find out if the audio is impressive as well. There’s no such thing as the best Bluetooth headphones The best Bluetooth headsets and headphones The V-Moda headphones have a personal history for me. I came across the manufacturer years ago and was immediately impressed by the brand’s charm. The independent design, which still characterizes the models today, quickly fascinated me. At that time I, unfortunately, couldn’t get my hands on a model, so I never got the chance to listen to them first hand. But now that has all changed, and I’m pleased that I got the chance to test them out.
