Comment on Potential downsides of buying a brand new soft-unlocked (carrier-unlocked) phone?

For me the advantage of buying an unlocked phone from the phone manufacturer is avoiding the bloatware from the carrier.

That’s not what OP is doing.
He’s buy a “brand new” phone the store opened and unlocked.
Completely different, and if a store is doing that, they’re probably doing other shady adjacent shit.
I wouldn’t buy any “brand new” expensive electronic that’s already been opened and had shit done to it
