Unlocked Samsung Tablets?

[neilth]

I've been using an iPad Pro with digital connectivity for the past seven years and I would like to replace it with a comparable Samsung tablet. To my surprise, none of the recent tablets available from Samsung with digital connectivity, are unlocked. Is it possible to use Samsung tablets with an MVNO like you can do with their unlocked phones and watches?

You would have to buy the Tablet out right, no financing.
After 60 days they have to unlock the device. You will always have the splash screen from the carrier you purchased the device from.
Subsequent software updates will come from the carrier you switch to.

You can purchase a tablet outright and unlocked from Samsung Website.

Samsung does not sell LTE-unlocked tablets; only Wi-Fi tablets are unlocked.

In North America, yes. In other markets, it may vary.
(For example, African markets only have the cellular variant available.)

The only Samsung tablet that is almost unlocked with no carrier bloatware is the US Cellular version , Tablets don't unlock after 60 days like phones,

Yesterday I was looking at Samsung tablets on ebay and found plenty of Galaxy Tab 10+ unlocked tablets for sale there.

There are no unlocked cellular variants of Samsung tablets for the US market right now (those with UE firmware).
