My carrier is Verizon, which I will stay with. What am I not getting by buying an unlocked S10 for $499 that I would get from Verizon if I purchased a Verizon locked phone for $899? Will either phone function exactly the same on all Verizon networks? null

You are only missing out on all of the Verizon bloatware that comes preinstalled on a Verizon specific phone. Only thing that is different is you have to install whatever Verizon apps you want (if any) from the Play store. I went with the unlocked S10 (coming from a Verizon specific S8), and am completely happy.

Both phones will function the same. You are actually required to activate the phone to a major carrier to get the discount. This is mostly a change in the payment. You will be paying for the phone up front instead of over 24 months like you usually would on a Verizon plan.
