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. 🔧

OnePlus 2 review: hype machine

The OnePlus One was one of the standout Android devices of 2014. A new manufacturer entering the Android game with a merely average device would have been a marvel, but introducing a high-performance, low-cost handset like OnePlus did was completely unexpected. Now the company has released the sequel to that device, the OnePlus 2. After thundering into the Android world, will OnePlus find that lightning can strike twice? Read on for our OnePlus 2 review. OnePlus 3 review OnePlus One review Update: On June 1, 2016, we learned that the OnePlus 2 would be available to buy directly through Amazon US and UK. Head to our ‘release date and price’ section for all the details.

Sony Xperia X review: high price for mid-range

The new Sony Xperia X arrives alongside the XA and, in some countries, the X Performance, a trio that slays the Z series. The Xperia X is the middle child of the three new models, and its market positioning is complicated: it’s more expensive than its predecessor, the Z5, but technically less lavish. Here we take a close look at the Xperia X’s strengths and weaknesses. Sony Xperia XA review Sony Xperia X Performance review
