I am curious who opted for the unlocked version or a carrier version and why? My S8+ was bought through AT&T mainly because I have had NIGHTMARES dealing with the phone manufacturers themselves.
They all have different firmwares. Verizon has Verizon crap, T-Mobile as TMobile crap, AT&T has don't know what because it has the worst nowadays. So they are all different phones out of the box.Unlocked. But the YouTube Tech Guy is stating ALL S8's are the same model number, no longer different phones based on carrier.
I got the unlocked S8 plus. Love it so far on ATT. I'm ok so far giving up wifi calling and VoLTE . I like no bloat and some of the Samsung branded features(integrated caller ID and search within the dialer).I am curious who opted for the unlocked version or a carrier version and why?

Carrier version. I want VoLTE to work on Verizon. Plus it was just easier to go through Verizon.
Unlocked version hasn't had an update in a month and a half and no word on when it may be coming. I wouldn't say things have changed just yet. They received one update on time so far.Things have changed unlocked is receiving updates now at least within a months time
That's cool. I still just find it easier to go through Verizon. The few apps installed don't bother me. The boot screen doesn't either since it's only on a reboot .I have an unlocked S8 on Verizon prepaid and VoLTE is working. It's worked on the last two unlocked phones I've had.
