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.

β’ 8-inch screen instead of 11" display
β’ Helio G85, downgraded from SD 680 (12nm vs 6nm)
β’ 6650mAh battery, decreased from 8000mAh

4GB+64GB= Rs. 10,999
4GB+128GB= Rs. 11,999
