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. 🔧

Moto Z3 Play review: Playing it safe but where’s the fun?

Motorola is back with a premium smartphone for those of us who want a smartphone that’s higher end than the Moto G6 Plus, while still being compatible with Moto Mods, all at an affordable price. This third opus of the Moto Z Play series is still missing a big battery (unlike the first generation), but the Z3 Play offers some interesting features, such as the dual camera and new screen. So what’s this new Motorola device all about? This answer is in our comprehensive review! Moto Z2 Play review: A step ahead of the competition Pressure’s on: What are Lenovo’s plans with Motorola?

Xiaomi Mi 8: this smartphone camera is afraid of the dark

In recent weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of using the Xiaomi Mi 8 as my main smartphone, and as is the case with every device, I carried it out around in my pocket and did a few tests to assess its quality. I subjected the cameras to a few challenges, and became familiar with the features and defects on the Chinese brand’s flagship. So now it’s finally time to tell you what I think of the smartphone camera and whether or not it can compete with the big players from across the industry.

Make and share spherical photos with the PanoClip 360 Lens

PanoClip provided us with its set of lenses for 360° photos. What better chance to dust off the old iPhone X and test them out. In this review, I’ll explain that while I think the basic idea of this add-on is is very interesting, it does have some very uncomfortable limitations. I’ll also show you some fantastic 360-degree photos along the way. The best 360-degree cameras: Entry-level to pro A month with the iPhone X

LG G7 review: better ThinQ twice

LG has officially presented the LG G7 ThinQ, and we had the chance to take a first look at the phone and test it for a few days in Korea. Now we’ve had enough time to test the device in detail and deliver a final verdict. LG V30 review: stunning design, but far from flawless LG V30S+ ThinQ: does the AI cam even make a difference? Note: This review is based on a final test device with Korean firmware, which has received several updates over the past weeks. These updates have not yet arrived on our European test device. Differences between the two software versions are indicated in the text.

Xiaomi Mi 8: great battery life only without Google

When you think of a smartphone with a very long battery life, your attention usually falls to a smartphone with a large battery capacity. But, what’s important to know is that the hardware components of a smartphone and software optimization have an impact on battery life also, so it’s not enough just to look at the capacity numbers. The Xiaomi Mi 8 comes with a battery that has less than 4,000 mAh and a huge display, so will it be able to withstand stress? Discover how it fared in our Xiaomi Mi 8 battery test.
