would it need to be unlocked
You might run into issues getting OTA updates if you don't have a Verizon SIM in it. But not 100% on that.
I'm not talking so much the frequency of updates but sometimes if you you don't have the Verizon SIM in a Verizon device you won't get the OTA updates. I know this is the case if you unlock an AT&T device and use another SIM in it. Not not sure about Verizon. Sideloading the update might be the only way.True. Updates may be a problem. However, based on posts over at the S8/S8+ forum (I used to have an S8+), Verizon seems to be the only one that is pushing out regular monthly updates. AT&T and other carriers have been lagging behind, and many of the unlocked users haven't received any updates.
