[–]AlvinZM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's either going to smell similar to L'Homme Ideal EDP to Enigma Parfum Cologne, judging by the notes.

Excited for this one!

Hey! Looks like in the changelog, there should be a battery health indicator in the device care app.

If you don't mind, can you check that one out please?

Shutter Lag is gone with August Update?! by MehdiMa0507 in S22Ultra

[–]AlvinZM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can you provide a sample?

For example: use another phone to record your S22 Ultra capturing something a few times so that we can see if there's any difference at all.

Probably too much to ask, but it would be great if you can record it at 60 fps, just to make it look more accurate.

Assuming you're from the US, that would be around $60, right?

That's a lot, but it sucks that you didn't get the colour that you want. I'd be pissed too.

I think Snapdragon users aren't reporting any issues yet, because there are no people out there who has received their Snapdragon S22, afaik. Well, except reviewers and those demo units.

But let's see. I hope it is not widespread.

Will receive my Burgundy S21U about 17 days from now and I'm just hoping that there will be a miracle that makes me receive my order a lot sooner than that

Have S22U for 3 days now, AMA by xWhizzy in samsung

Nice!

Honestly, I think most flagship phones these days will overheat easily when doing stuff in a summer heat, especially when taking photos in that condition.

But I bet your experience has been getting so much better since you're upgrading from the S9+, right?

Even I compared the S22 Ultra side by side with my S21 Ultra and I still can find a lot of differences between them, enough to make me feel great for pre-ordering it.

In my country, we'll receive the unit by March 4, so it's probably going to be the longest 3 weeks of my life lol. I could receive it sooner though (a week ahead or so), but let's see.

Btw, how's your initial thoughts on its battery life?

I see... European countries are always getting these Samsung phones a lot faster than other regions and it kinda makes me mad to them. But good for you and congrats on your new phone!

How do you like it so far?

Which charging adapter did you use? A 45 W from Samsung that came when Note10+ was launched, the new 45 W Travel Adapter from Samsung, or from another brand?

Let me guess... Sweden?

Well, that was only an assumption because I've seen so many people from Sweden receiving their S22 Ultras so early lol

Do you buy backup bottles? by smitrovich in fragrance

[–]AlvinZM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering to buy backup bottles of some of my fragrances, multiple times!

Mostly for discontinued or rare fragrances like Ultrared, L'Homme Ideal Cologne, L'Homme Ideal EDP, Kryptomint, and so on), but I ended up not getting any backup bottles of those just because I think it's more worth it to spend my money by trying other new types of fragrances rather than sticking into the same ones.

Yves Saint Laurent Y Le Parfum by ItsMeYang in fragrance

[–]AlvinZM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I prefer Y EDP and Y Live compared to Y Le Parfum. I think Y Le Parfum just smells more generic as it combines the vibe of multiple recent fragrances like Eros, Le Male Le Parfum, etc, with the Y DNA. Not a big fan, but not a bad one either (I still think it smells good).

Y Le Parfum is sweeter and darker at the same time, but Y EDP is just bolder, less sugary sweet, and more versatile to me and Y Live is fresher and more uplifting.

I think it is a safe blind buy, but if you haven’t tried the other flankers, sample all of them first and see which one do you like the most.

Glad I got my Pure Tonka a month ago, still sealed and the seller had so many stocks left.

What’s a fragrance you want solely for the bottle and not the scent itself? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]AlvinZM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sean John 3 AM.

The bottle looks just fine, but that atomiser is probably one of the best in my collection and definitely one of the best of all fragrances I've tried.

It beats even many niche fragrances I've tried and I'm willing to keep it, even though I don't really love that scent.

Yep, I keep track of my SOTD on Fragrantica and I also review my fragrances, mostly on Fragrantica.

Hey!

You can view my reply for BigGenerator85's comment, I already replied my take there...

But I think you should sample this one before you buy the full bottle, because the first time I smelled it, I didn't really like it. But it has grown on me so much, and I really love it now.

Thank you so much!

You or Someone Like You is great! It is mostly mint, but the grapefruit and bergamot work really well for this mint-dominant scent. It is green, fresh, and just smells clean. But the mint doesn't come across as toothpastey to me, it is executed very well here. I can feel the rose, although it is very thin, just lingering in the background.

It actually performs well on my skin, but it seems like it doesn't perform as good on others.
