Where did he land in India?

No one would bother only for a Ps5 Pro, that too in check-in.

They have bigger fishes to catch.

Just make sure you open the box before traveling, even if they ask you to get it checked, tell them your friend is moving back to India and you helped him get some stuff and that it is Indian bought only.

Precisely this. 

 

Unless you are smuggling something in large quantities, they dont usually mind.

 

In rare cases they may do random checks tho.

dayumn sunnn...u steel alive :wOOtjumpy: mofo been busy in Pardes :naughty: :naughty:

btw, S25 guys, compact beast with sufficient battery backup, sweet sweet deal ( not at MRP tho, only if u get it at 45k or under 45k - using offers and exchanges n sheetz :good: - otherwise just wait for the price drop, people on s22 or backwards need to change, people on s23 or higher, need not change (don't know about s24 exynos, but i have s23 r.n. and it's holding good enough) )

True. Got S25 Ultra, upgrading after 7 years from Note 9. Damn the leap is massive.

Massive in what sense? I still use my S22+ and absolutely see no difference other than battery.

Massive in every sense

1. chipset, not just performance, but it's efficient af, that too on standard profile, need to check on light profile :wOOtjumpy:

2. UFS storage 4.0 (s22 still has 3.0, s25 has 4.0 throughout, atleast at launch)

3. 12Gb RAM standard across.

3. battery backup in insane af compared to s22 series. (trust me, i am coming from s22, heck, i have s23, this base s25 beats both of them by a great margin) 

4. One UI 7.

5. build quality, though it is ligher than both, still feels premium in hand. 

6. overall performance. (everything feels, fluid, your eyes can literally feel the smoothness, or maybe it's just the One UI 7 effect, idk, but it is what it is)

7. the ltpo display on this one, has some nice lock unlock transition effect (the default one), pair it with the AOD (animation one) dark theme, looks cool, i know GoodLock is where the epic sh!t at, but will try that on weekend.

8. you'll instantly notice how fast the Camera app is now, even on Video mode, the zoom in zoom out is just instant, like almost no stutter while switching lenses, insane man. also, if u access gallery, just pinch out and scroll down, it's just instant.

 

aur kya batau? idk, like, in every sense it is a visible upgrade(r.n), even to the previous models (unless you went for the high end ones), which is why i mentioned for whom it is a good time to upgrade.

So it's basically a new phone effect and not a better phone effect?

What you have explained is a new phone experience.

Anyway, was just curious as I wanted to see if upgrading made sense because as per the reviews, definitely did not.

Its definitely a good upgrade compared to s22+, if u compare s22+ with s25+, it beats the old f** left right n centre, and its not my opinion, but pure facts, not just on paper, but in real world too. 

 

Anyways, you asked for massive differences between s22 series(and Note9 in your quote) and s25 series, i have mentioned them, end of discussion. Usske uppar tumhe jo interpretation karna hain karte baitho.

This aint no place to discuss it. But yup, fkrs took away bt from s pen, not a deal breaker imo, not many use the features related to that. Again, if u want that bt, s24 Ultra is the option.

I am in Singapore, returning tomorrow. I am bringing a MacBook and PS5 disc drive (got Pro in India)

 

Customs guide says you can bring electronic articles upto ₹50,000 and a laptop on person

 

so, I need not unbox the PS5 disc drive and just carry the boxed piece in my backpack right?

 

and for the laptop, I’ll unbox it, boot the laptop, sign into Apple account, put the laptop box in my wife’s backpack and carry the laptop in my backpack - will that work?

Yeah, all good.

I just open the seal of every box I am carrying, like even though Disc drive is under 50k, just open the seal.

Better to not give these folks any reason.

 

In the off chance, you don't even need to tell them that you brought a laptop, just tell them it's your personal one which you have been carrying.

 

Although, no one will bat an eye over these 2 items.
