Moto E4 Verizon (XT1767) Unlocked vs Unlocked Moto E4 (XT1767)

[AxlRose77]

(Oops...Title should end with (XT1768) not XT1767).
Does anybody know what differences there are (if any) between the Verizon Moto E4 (XT1767) after you unlock it and the (US) version of the Moto E4 (XT1767) that comes unlocked? A few things:

1. Can the Verizon bloatware be removed?
2. Is the frequency band support the same on both phones?
3. Are the other specs exactly the same?
4. Do the updates for both phones come directly from Motorola, or will Verizon continue to be responsible for updates on the Verizon model even after you unlock it?
5. Do both phones come with the quick charger?
6. Can Motorola provide the means of unlocking the bootloader for both phones?
7. Does any Verizon logo pop onto the screen during startup?

Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I believe that you can edit your post title by editing and going into Advanced. Anyway...
1. Yes. See this. However, it's only semi-permanent. If you reset the phone all the bloat will "re-install".
2. There has been debate about that. Most users don't seem to have a problem but others have reported issues with certain T-Mo MVNOs.
3. I'm pretty sure they are.
4. Not sure.
5. I believe so.
6. Verizon will never allow Motorola to unlock the XT1767. Other version, no problem.
7. Yes

I have both variants; previously provided responses are largely accurate. I use the XT1768 (bootloader unlocked, rooted, stock) as my daily driver; XT1767 is primarily a GPS navigator and fallback device. Highly recommend the XT1768 if you have any intention of doing serious modding. Carrier unlock is effective with most GSM based networks. Things get dicey with CDMA MVNOs.
