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. 🔧

Sony Xperia XA1 and XA1 Ultra hands-on: two powerful mid-range devices

Sony has long been betting heavily on the mid-range range. So much so that the company was one of the first to invest in what it called the “super-mid”, referring to mid-range devices that have more advanced features. Sony always bet on the design, camera and display quality; and it is precisely in those three aspects where we see the improvements in its new smartphones, the Xperia XA1 and Xperia XA1 Ultra.

Huawei P10 Plus hands-on review: finally a mini Mate 9

2016 gave us the P9 Plus. This year, we get the P10 Plus. With its 5.5-inch size, it turns out to be larger than its younger brother, the Huawei P10. It also differs from the smaller model in the design of the main camera, faster 4G LTE connectivity and its availability in an exclusive color. In addition, its front camera features auto focus. In our hands-on review, we present this device in more detail. Here are our first impressions. Our hands-on of the Huawei P10 Check out our review of the Huawei Mate 9

Android Wear 2.0 review: a second chance for smartwatches

After completing a first quick test of Android Wear 2.0, we’ve decided to undertake a more in-depth assessment of the latest Android Wear update. We used the Huawei Watch as a test device for the so-called Developer Preview. Whilst the watch is neither optimized nor includes complete features, it still provides you with a good preview of the Android Wear update. We’re still in the early stages of the update, but it’s already showing such a great potential that perhaps the time has come for us to give smartwatches a second chance. Android Wear 2.0 is on its way: we’ve got all the details MWC and Android Wear 2.0 alone aren’t enough to save wearables

Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) review: the mid-range phone that thinks it’s a flagship

Aside from a few downsides, the Galaxy A3 (2016) managed to put in such a convincing performance last year it easily became a signature mid-range device. Samsung is hoping to repeat the experience, and so is looking again to release a new version of its Galaxy A3. Will the Korean manufacturer be able to impress the public enough so they’ll overlook the recent scandals that have beleaguered the company? Here are our first impressions.

Nintendo Switch hands-on: is this Nintendo’s big return?

As you may have heard, Nintendo just unveiled its new console, the Nintendo Switch. The Switch is a hybrid console, that is to say, it is a portable console but also a conventional console that sits in your living room. So, it’s a mix between the 3Ds, the Wii and Wii U. We had the pleasure of being invited to give it a try. Here are our first impressions of the console ahead of its March 3 release. The best new Android games The coolest VR games for Android
