What the dates mean
Feature updates are new versions of Android and the maker’s software on top of it. Security updates are fixes for newly found flaws, issued without new features, and they continue after feature updates stop. A phone past its security date still works; it stops being patched. The dates above are the maker’s published window as recorded by the source linked, not a prediction of when updates will actually stop.
What to do with that
Nothing about the Galaxy S23 forces a move today. The row-by-row case for or against replacing it, with what it fetches used, is on Should I upgrade my Galaxy S23?; the full sheet is on the Galaxy S23 page. Every phone’s version of this page is listed at All update timelines.
