This Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro compares favorably with most other flagships. Details about the delivery kits of the new Xiaomi flagships
Yesterday, during the announcement of the new flagships Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro, representatives of the company did not talk about the delivery sets – these details have appeared now. And I must say that in terms of equipment, the new items compare favorably with most flagships, including their predecessors.
Xiaomi explained the disappearance of power supplies from the Mi 11 smartphones with concern for the environment. Now, apparently, everything has become better with the ecology, since power supplies are included in the Xiaomi 12 kit and in the Xiaomi 12 Pro kit.

Sony will not let you enjoy the old games to the fullest. PS3 projects within PS Plus will be released without add-ons

As part of the updated subscription service Sony PS Plus will be available, including projects for PS3. But due to the very specific architecture of the processor of this console, the games will be available in the cloud service.
And now it became known that such games, unfortunately, will not support add-ons. DLC may someday be added, but at first you definitely shouldn’t expect them.
For example, Asura’s Wrath, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Crash Commando, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and a number of other games received various kinds of add-ons at one time, for some projects there were a lot of such DLCs. But within the framework of PS Plus, it will not be possible to try them out. The source also publishes a list of PS3 games, but we published them a week ago, when Sony itself did this.
As a reminder, today we also learned that some classic games will work even worse on the new consoles than on the original PlayStation.
