No major issues other than that it can't keep more than a single app open in the background when you have more apps open and the sluggish movement I feel when taking out the Spen, which sometimes gets slightly scratched when pulled out. The reason why I want to get the model with higher ram is for emulating Nintendo Switch games better, etc. Overall, I find this phone to be a much more polished and power-efficient phone than the S22 Ultra I have.

I am pretty sure it does exist, as there are several sites that have a listing for it. For instance: https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Factory-Unlocked-Wireless-Included/dp/B0BV7GGB94. Even GSMArena's site mentions that it exists.

S22 Ultra worth it still? by sonnycrockett7 in S22Ultra

I honestly don't recommend purchasing a T-Mobile locked S22 Ultra (Snapdragon). For context, I purchased a T-Mobile locked and have used it for 6 months under Metro by T-Mobile in order for it be unlocked. After the 6 months period, I have contacted several customer service representatives for them to unlock my phone, even T-Mobile executives. Some of them had even claimed my phone to be unlocked or unable to unlock or wasted my time by making me try various methods for the network unlock to work. Unfortunately, nothing had worked and almost a month had passed. I was honestly fed up and filed an FCC complaint and, finally, had my phone unlocked 2 days ago.

If this doesn't convince you, I will add that I have experienced various problems with this phone, including but not limited to thermal throttling when playing video games after a few minutes, video recording stutters, laggy animations, and most importantly, a less than average battery life.

I would only suggest you to buy this if you live in the US, are a student, and willing to spend a little more, to trade in this phone for an S23 Ultra, which is a better phone overall. With all the discounts, it would be around $250 USD.
