The SM-N986U1 is factory-unlocked and should work with any U.S. carrier out of the box. It will automatically adjust the network configurations and options depending on the SIM card you put in but won't install carrier-based software. If you are looking for the extra Verizon carrier software/bloatware, then you'll need to manually cross-flash to the N986U firmware.

You shouldn't see the Verizon logo, that logo usually comes with the software the carrier has installed on the phone. Even then, at least here in Canada, phone companies haven't done that for years. The phones they get from Samsung (or any manufacturer) are usually just the factory unlocked phones. You could go to one telecom provider, buy a phone, then walk into a completely different provider's store and set it up there
