When buying an unlocked phone on Samsung.com will you still get the software and security updates? If so will I still get the 7 years of updates for my new Samsung s24 ultra I will be getting. And do you have to use the E_sim or can I use my phones Sim card? Or should I just get a Verizon carrier phone ?

From my experience with the software updates, I had an unlocked S23 Ultra, and it was the last variant to get updated to One UI 6.0. The carriers push out the updates sooner!

Yes you will still get the 7 year updates and you can simply swap your sim into the new phone with no problems I'm with Verizon and just did it yesterday

Unlocked is the way to go.  You can still decide who your carrier is.  Also, there is less bloatware and you can insert SIMs for travel or if you find a cheaper plan.

Your updates to your unlocked phone comes from your carrier not from Samsung.  I always thought unlocked phones were updated first.  I have learned otherwise from the info in this forum and from my experience with my S21.
