If am purchasing my Note 8 from Samsung using the Note7 Promo, is there any reason Not to buy an Unlocked Phone instead of going with say the Verizon model?

Things have changed ☺Samsung doesn't have a Good track record with software updates on their unlocked phone's. Usually happen way after carrier variants

All Verizon phones are unlocked. If you buy a Verizon Note 8 the phone comes from the factory SIM unlocked.Nope... Get the unlocked
Buying unlocked, can you refuse updates if you don't want it?
Apart from bloatware, I don't want to see carrier logo when phone is booting up. That drives me nuts (lol). I hope with unlocked released at the same time as carrier version for the first time, Samsung may do a great job at updates.
I originally ordered the unlocked version from Samsung, but then did some research (I know) and found the above mentioned a few times, as well as VOLTE possibly not working on Verizon. So I cancelled that order and went for a Verizon model. I have no plans to switch, so I'm fine with the Verizon model.If you use Verizon Advance calling features, like WiFi calling you have to get the Verizon phone.
You are still stuck with the restrictions of your carrier. With this regard, it's no different than having a carrier phone.If you have the unlocked phone can you roam on other carriers when your own carrier has no signal or weak signal?
