The "Everyday" show-off thread !

With Intel shutting down NUC and my impulse buying stupidity at 2AM.

Recieved this by 2pm. Quiet impressed with flipkart deliver timelines on high value purchases.

Traded in S22 Ultra for this beauty. Much better hand feel thanks to the flattened edges and less curved screen. Battery life about 25% better - getting around 5hrs SOT from 85% to 25% (using light performance mode) compared to roughly 4hrs before. Cameras top notch as usual, screen feels brighter and smoother even though it's the same 120hz and the speakers are better. Also the audio output is somehow louder via the Apple Dongle - I had to nearly max out the volume on the S22 Ultra (volume was usually at 14/15), whereas for this 12/15 is loud enough.
Oh also, this phone can share wifi networks over hotspot - no longer does the network need to be mobile data and wifi switched off for using hotspot! Not sure how long this feature has been around but this is a great feature for sure.
Substantial QoL improvements which are worth it imo.
Wifi network sharing over hotspot has been there for a long time. Not just in S22U too, I have done it in other android phones.
source : I just tested it on my S22 Ultra.

Oh interesting. My US version S22U couldn't do it and no other phone I owned previously either (Vivo V15 Pro, OnePlus One, Lumia 520, Note 2) so it's new to me. Maybe a CSC specific thing.

Excellent printed pieces unlike Lego which gives stickers in this and more expensive prices:

This was a very challenging build due to 600+ pieces and very small parts. But rewarding. :kissingheart:
 
Lego posts are great. Thank you posting.

It is such a nice hobby. We are not doing justice to it by not having a "LEGO" thread dedicated to these posts.

Please share your thoughts.

How did you come across the brand and the product?

Not sure. Could be through Instagram/Facebook ads. I follow content related to travel and gear.

this is not water proof one, right? any waterproof suggestion on the same ?

Nope, You need to buy a separate rain cover for it. It has a pocket at the bottom to store it. They use to bundle it previously.

I don't think any of the brands offer waterproof, they offer some resistance under light rains. Other brands like Decathlon and Wildcraft don't offer either. They push you to get a rain cover.
