In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we looked at Samsung’s S22 ULTRA. Is it the phone of the year already? The phone combines the best of the Note (S-Pen) and the best of the S-Series (Cameras).

Price: $1849 to $2449

We look at the productivity and image capturing capabilities of the ULTRA with plenty of test shots taken around Sydney Harbour at night. More testing is needed before we can say this will be phone of the year. The iPhone 13 Pro Max is holding its own at this point.

HAVE SMARTPHONES REACHED THEIR PEAK?

A lot of people are asking, “where’s the innovation?” when it comes to new phones. We discuss how significant under-the-hood updates are being missed my consumers. The new Samsung phones, like the new Apple devices, appear to be similar to recent versions. But the ‘unseen’ changes deliver big benefits when it comes to battery life and camera performance.

CHECK YOUR FIND MY IPHONE SETTINGS NOW

Tim called during the week about his daughter’s missing iPhone. We discovered that Find My wasn’t active but fortunately they located the phone later in the day. iPhones and Android devices have built-in location tracking but you must turn it on as soon as you setup your mobile.

We take you through the basics so you can always find your phone because some of the settings have changed. Third party apps are not needed.

"This is not a normal Ultra," says Garry McGregor from Samsung Australia. That was Garry’s response to my ‘statement’ that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is really a Note.

I have the ULTRA and PLUS models to test over coming days but in the video above you’ll see a quick explanation why the S22 ULTRA is more than the beloved Samsung Note and more than the usual S Series flagship.

Now we have the best of the Note with the best of the S series cameras.
