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. 🔧

Huawei P9 review: the pocket DSLR camera

Huawei’s new flagship phone is the P9. The fourth model in the P series, which began with the Ascend P6 in 2013, has a lot going for it in comparison to its direct predecessor, the Huawei P8. With the latest iteration comes more power, a Leica dual camera and a higher price which still hovers below competing devices. After thorough testing, we now have our complete Huawei P9 review. Read on for details on this ‘pocket Leica’ camera that has one strange quirk. Huawei P8 vs P9 comparison Huawei P9 Plus review

21 days with the Galaxy S7 Edge

Here I am after having spent 21 days with the S7 Edge. I came out alive, and so did it – but only barely. Over this time, I was able to completely immerse myself in the device, and I want to share my experience with you. On this adventure, I even took the phone to Japan, where a ghost of Japanese legend threw the S7 Edge to the ground. A stroke of abysmal luck. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge review Samsung Galaxy S7 review

Sony Xperia M5 review: middle class problems

Sony has placed a new model at the top of its M class of smartphones, the Sony Xperia M5. It looks very similar to the Xperia Z3+, but is not quite as well-equipped on the inside. Its standout feature is a very promising front-facing camera, but what else is on offer from the phone Sony calls its “super mid-ranger”? Find out in our Sony Xperia M5 review.
