A:AnswerYes, this bothers me also. The price of the phone is around $600. It is unlocked, but if the price is around $450, the deal is that Verizon wants to pressure you into going with them. The $150 difference will be recouped by Verizon in only 4 months and $40 a month. This may be a post-paid arrangement meaning there will be a hard inquiry on you credit report. As for me, I would rather pay the full $600 price and keep my credit score intact. Check the web page and see if there is also another price just for the phone only without any activation with Verizon. Also go prepaid to avoid a hit on your credit.
A:AnswerThis is an unlocked version, it will only work with GSM wireless carriers, like At&t, T-Mobile and any MVNO's under those. Sprint's version will only work with them.
A:AnswerIf there is network compatibles like 4G, LTE, etc. It could work without any problem, first, you must see the networks on the description if they are compatible with the European networks. I bought it to work in Mexico and it is working without problems
A:AnswerThe s8 has some better technical specs, but all smartphones will have system updates that may make minor changes with how to access features on your phone.
