Many negative reviews stated that it was locked to Verizon

Easy free returns. I had this phone from the Straight Talk deal. Was surprised at how snappy it was. Camera was decent, nice screen, and wireless charging. The fingerprint sensor on the side was nice too. Good deal.

Many reviews state Verizon locked. How are they selling these if they are locked as unlocked? They expect buyers will simply keep them and not go through the hassle of returning them? I dont get it!

I was going to bite on this deal but the reviews for this particular listing have me worried it will be a locked Verizon phone

I'd be interested if this thing had a better security update commitment period.

I have a question for you and that is, do you have any particular reason why you want to be on the security update? I mean to ask have you directly been hacked for having a couple of months out security? on a phone? I feel like a lot of people who want the security updates, while they are a good legitimate concerns, I don't think that the average person is actually affected by having slightly out of date security updates, at least so far for most people anyways. I haven't ever heard of a worm that spread through everybody's phone because of a common out-of-date zero day attack

My android device was hacked after security updates EOL. Keep your devices secure and offline once EOL.

Passing thought: Aren't the [Verizon*] carrier-branded phones typically black/grey, whereas the unlocked models blue/colored?

* Verizon/Total/Tracfone

The same seller has another listing for the same phone at $162. The listing is almost identical so this one is most definitely not the unlocked version.

Not on my phone, but if I'd not feel so confident if I failed to observe (what I consider to be) basic precautions. It's extremely dangerous to ignore obvious security measures when the results of getting pwned on my phone could cost me many orders of magnitude more than my saving money by buying a chinese phone with soon-to-be-outdated security provisions.
