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. 🔧

Oppo Reno 2 review: a beautiful endurance runner

“Finally another exciting smartphone”, I thought during the review of the Oppo Reno 2. The completely bezel-less display, the mechanically hidden selfie camera, the in-display fingerprint sensor, beautiful decorations on the back and appealing technical features including high-quality cameras make the smartphone an insider tip. But read and judge for yourself!

Hands-on with the Motorola Razr: this is how a folding smartphone should be

So Motorola can still surprise us and perhaps set a trend again, because the Razr not only brings back a famous brand name but also shows Samsung and Huawei how to use foldable display technology for the smartphone user more sensibly. Instead of making an already large smartphone even bigger, the Motorola Razr’s folding mechanism makes the smartphone smaller and more compact.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro review: the best Mate you can’t have

Huawei Mate 30 Pro was made official in September in Munich. After so many question marks related to the US ban, Richard Yu announced the new flagship of the brand that introduces some interesting features, from the camera to the display. The Mate 30 Pro is not yet officially available for purchase in Europe but we decided to test it anyway to see what it can do. The unit we tested was supplied by TradingShenzhen . It is, therefore, a device with Chinese firmware and not a model optimized for the international market.

TCL Plex review: a promising debut for the brand

It was at the IFA 2019 that TCL, a Chinese manufacturer famous for its TVs, decided to launch its first (kind of) smartphone. While the company used to use its Alcatel and BlackBerry subsidiaries, it is now entering the smartphone market under its own brand name. The TCL Plex is, therefore, the first smartphone in its history. We’ve been testing it. Here’s what it’s all about.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro camera review: the forbidden fruit

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro was announced on September 19 but has not yet reached the European market due to problems with the U.S. ban on the Chinese company. While we’re waiting for the situation to resolve itself, we tested the Huawei Mate 30 Pro’s very own camera, considered one of the best available on a smartphone.

OnePlus 7T review: more Pro for the little T-model

With the 7T, OnePlus presents a completely revamped “small” flagship killer model. Instead of equipping the OnePlus 7 with an updated CPU, new colors and the old design, which is only a few months old, the Chinese company is giving the T model a new form factor, a new design and the camera setup from the Pro version. You can find out whether the extensive update has led to a successful smartphone in this OnePlus 7T review.

LG G8X ThinQ review: the "foldable" LG smartphone

LG is interpreting the concept of foldable smartphones very differently from Samsung and Huawei. But is the G8X ThinQ, with its two extra displays, really a good idea? Do we actually need three screens on a smartphone? We were able to test the device for several weeks. The concept arouses curiosity, but there is still work much to be done.
