Realme 12 Pro+ has Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and 32MP front camera, thus Realme put the SAME SoC and front camera in Realme 13 Pro and Pro+ both

The design and display is exactly the SAME as the 12 series except for improved peak brightness.

Realme 13 series costs Rs.1,000-Rs. 2,000 (10-25$) more than Realme 12 series

Firefox and Meta develop a mechanism that promises to keep the user's data private in an unyielding ad world
Mozilla recently received backlash after shipping an experimental feature — Privacy-preserving attribution, enabled by default, which collects data for advertisers, in Firefox 128.
It aims to balance advertiser needs and user privacy. Mozilla is collaborating with Meta on the project to ensure it meets both privacy standards and advertiser utility.
The development, ongoing for several years, utilizes a secure multi-party computation (MPC) system called DAP/Prio. Its privacy properties have been analyzed to identify loopholes. Currently, the prototype is limited to a few test sites and only functions in Firefox.

First Look at the Nothing Phone 2a Plus
Nothing Phone 2a Plus will have a silver and grey metallic finish on the rear, which looks like a new colour for the regular Nothing Phone 2a lol.
The box design is exactly same as the Phone 2a box, with the addition of the word "Plus" ahead of Phone 2a lol
Specifications wise also, Phone 2a has mostly everything same as the regular phone 2a, including the same rear cameras, same display and even the same slower UFS 2.2 storage although the Dimensity 7350 supports UFS 3.1. The SoC is NOT anything new either since its a 200MHz frequency overclocked Phone 2a's Dimensity 7200 only.
So what's really have been upgraded with the Phone 2a Plus is a 50MP Front camera, as the Phone 2a has 32MP front. Also, it will have support 50W fast charging, which is just 5W upgrade from the 45W support on the Phone 2a lol
(In short, Phone 2a Plus will charge 5mins faster than Phone 2a lmao)

Secure boot is unsecure ?
In 2012, Secure Boot was adopted to prevent malware from infecting BIOS. However, researchers recently discovered that over 200 device models are compromised due to a leaked cryptographic key from a GitHub repository in 2022. This key, which underpins Secure Boot, was protected by a weak password, making it easy to crack.
Additionally, 21 test keys meant for internal use were found in production devices from major manufacturers, further compromising security. This breach, named PKfail, undermines the integrity of Secure Boot and exposes affected devices to significant risks.
