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. 🔧

Lenovo Yoga Book review: a special Android tablet

What is the Lenovo Yoga Book exactly? The Yoga Book looks to combine productivity and entertainment. It’s a hybrid between a laptop and a tablet than runs on Android, and has an accompanying notepad and pen stylus. The built-in touchpad keyboard and the stylus are there to make taking notes a breeze. Plus, the easy foldability provides the convenience of a basic tablet. We first got our hands on the Yoga Book at IFA earlier this year, and we’re still impressed now for our final review. Best Android tablets Hands on Lenovo Moto Z Play review

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge review: form meets function

Samsung overhauled its flagship Galaxy S smartphone series with a premium design in 2015. This came with some tough decisions, however, and microSD card support and water resistance were both dropped. Still, the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge+ were high performers last year. Now in 2016, Samsung has stepped back in time to re-introduce memory expansion and water resistance with the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. In this Galaxy S7 Edge review, we’ll take a look at how this year is the one in which the Galaxy S evolved into its most perfect state yet.
