After months of lockdown where I live, reviewing the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G has been an absolute blast. Samsung’s most advanced phone for power users is expensive — it starts at $1,300 (£1,179, AU$1,894) for the 128GB model — but it’s also stuffed with features and has an arresting (some might say divisive) design, all of which makes it fun to …
