Hotspot Security

How come only flagship Samsung phones support "Enhanced Open" security option for hotspot?

It could be because most Samsung flagship phones support wifi 6 for the enhanced open

Doesn't the Galaxy A54 support it as well?

I think so, but it doesn't have 6GHz (wifi 6e) that seems to be required for the enhanced open.

My A54 only has wifi6 and doesn't seem to support enhanced open.  Not that I know what it is or have need of it, it just does not appear in my hotspot config settings.

That's wifi 6, not 6, Ghz. The A54 has 2.4 & 5 Ghz

The S23 Ultra and other flagship phones Have the upgraded WIFI 6E Chip, part of the reason the other non galaxy Phones are cheaper, small stuff like that.
