The only advantage to buying a carrier model is subsidized pricing, if you are still on a 2-year.

Well there is another potential advantage when it comes to pricing. Right now Verizon is offering a trade in value of at least $200 on any smartphone that has at a current value of $1 or more.

Verizon will install no bloatware and updates are still handled via Google according to almost like every source I've seen.
