Most carriers phone can be unlocked if you buy them. If you owe money on them you will have to use a 3rd party to unlock unless you pay them off. I always unlock all my ATT Phones. I have a new S7 Active I just unlocked the other day and am using a T-Mobile chip in it right now.

Samsung has released a new Galaxy S7 that is cross carrier compatible which means it will work on any network. Might only be sold in the US though.

Wrong! you have to select a carrier when buying from samsung.com. Since I travel a great deal I always buy mine outside the USA. I will never use a carrier bought phone.

Otherwise A1522 may work in other countries but at 2g or less and is unlocked. all carriers in usa sell A1522. So I bought A1524 directly at apple store. SO i never buy from carriers. If was buying a Galaxy S7 edge it would have to be a non carrier phone. I do not want the carrier software on my phone. I travel a great deal so I switch sim cards all the time. I use 5 different ones right now. when in china i can call usa for less than 1 cent a minute with chinese sim card.

"They will lock to the region in which you activate them first (Europe, Asia, Africa, etc.)"
So if I pop the Verizon sim and decide to switch to T-Mobile, it will still be unlocked?

Anything Samsung can do to increase profit margin is to be expected after all they are running a business and do not have the luxury of setting huge margin as Apple

AnonD-425519, 25 Feb 2016Does that mean that I can't sell my phone to another person... moreActually iPhone works on all carriers even oversea ones with full antenna band support. All iPhone sold in the US by carriers are international unlocked and Verizon model are even unlocked for AT&T and T-Mobile out of the box.
iPhone 6s+ A1634 for example supports 22 LTE bands vs Note 5 N920I's 12 LTE bands.

All iPhones comes unlocked and with global antenna bands. All Samsung comes locked and lack antenna bands for other regions. And they are selling for the same price.
