INSTANT UPGRADES
FIRST ADD THESE…
ONE OWC USB-C TRAVEL DOCK
It’s easy to turn your Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra into a DeX-powered workstation: just hook it up to a monitor, keyboard and mouse with this nifty USB-C dock. You can now work across windows with Samsung’s desktop interface for ultimate productivity from your pocketable powerhouse. £54 / flexxmemory.co.uk
TWO SAMSUNG CLEAR STANDING COVER
With a glorious screen that’s perfect for movies, a case that props the S22 Ultra up makes sense. Samsung’s official clear case is a TPU shell that perfectly angles it in either landscape or portrait orientation, thanks to a spring-loaded kickstand – excellent for film-watching, video-calling or hands-free TikTokking. £17 / samsung.com
THREE NOTHING EAR (1)
Fancy wireless-charging earbuds to go with your wireless-charging phone?
Here’s a nifty pair that pack active noise-cancelling, a clever app and excellent call quality. Their styling might be Marmite – all dot-matrix branding and transparent plastic – but if you like what you see, there’s a good chance you’ll also like what you hear. £99 / nothing.tech
NOW TRY THIS…
1 BE QUICK ON THE DRAW
Every time you pull out the S Pen stowed in the S22 Ultra’s undercarriage, a menu pops up with a bunch of options. If you always want to take notes, you can disable the pop-up menu and get straight to scribing. Open the phone’s settings and select ‘Advanced features’, then ‘S Pen’. Scroll down to ‘When S Pen is removed’, tap it and choose ‘Create note’ or simply ‘Do nothing’.
2 MAX IT OUT
Yes, the S22 Ultra is supremely powerful, but its Exynos processor is quite new… which means some games aren’t optimised for it just yet. If you run into any slowdown, turn on performance mode by selecting ‘Battery and device care’ in the settings, then tapping ‘More battery settings’, followed by ‘Processing speed’. Select Maximum to give your Exynos a boost.
3 TRY A RAW DIET
Photography enthusiasts will love Expert RAW. Open the app (available in the Galaxy Store) and it’ll capture manual 16-bit RAW photos – one up on the iPhone 13 Pro’s 12-bit RAWs.
