The s23 is 2 models ago not last year if I recall the s24 was first to get the 7 year update policy

Why? If Samsung changes their update policy between models, that is their right to do so. Where do you expect it to end - why not extend it to the S22s & 21s? Why not support every model forever? There was a time there were no updates offered for any model, then only 2 years of updates for the longest time, necessitating purchasing a new phone every two years if one wanted the newest Android version. Samsung now leads the industry with the longest update schedule, and was even the leader when they went to 4 years. IMO, with the rapid changes in technology a 4 year old phone is outdated anyway, even if it still works perfectly. New software may not properly mesh with old hardware.

You use of the word "we" is odd - are you the spokesperson for ALL S23 owners? Are you an expert on phone technology that you can categorically state that the hardware "can handle it"?  You don't know what is yet to come in updates, and cannot state what the hardware can handle.

I might be sad that there aren't gonna be any new OS features so I'm gonna wait until security updates are done then switch to the S27 or S28 whenever they come out.

Maybe because the S23 is kind of a worth-buying because it's almost identical, it doesn't heat up as much as the other models, but the S21 had the 3 year major OS update policy extended to 4 years, which continued on until the S24 by a brief push of the community. Maybe the same thing would happen, since the S23 is litterally capable of 7 years of major OS updates and even more. The S23 is just the better buy for other people since it runs under the best processor ever made the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, the two years before were the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and 888 chipsets, which had the popular heating problems we once had. 

[TECHnically]

Well for the last part it has been proven scientifically that the processor and the hardware of the S23 series can support until Android 19 until it starts to lag and get hot. But regardless of the major OS updates the phone even after roughly 3 years since it's release still delivers outstanding performance against mid-range smartphones, notably the A56 5G, and out-of-brand models like the Redmi note 14 5G.

This simply shows the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset integrated into the series is simply the best one ever made since it fixed past heating problems and throttlings in earlier models (arguably the S21 and 22 series).

This will be the final update for the s23 models which is fine with me as long as there's no flaws this has been one of the best phones I've had

I think the S23 should have all the features of the S24 and S25 in the last major update. Currently, the S23 has limited features, such as ambient weather wallpaper.

[realaud]

What you think, and what is reality, are two different things.  If features were left out of the update for the S23, there was likely an incompatibility issue; or it was an effort by Samsung (a company that is in business to make a profit and sell new products) to encourage those with older hardware to upgrade.  Users who don't/won't use the new features won't miss them and can and will continue to use their current devices until they decide otherwise. Users who *do* want those new features will have to make a decision whether to stick with their current device or choose to upgrade.

Please extend the update support. This device, along with the Z Fold/Flip 5 and Tab S9 series, is the last ever flagship to support 32-bit apps.

[realaud]

I do not see that happening.  Those phones were purchased under whatever update policy was in place at the time.  That Samsung changed the update schedule for later models does not mean they will retroactively apply that schedule to older devices.  You will be able to use your phone until it no longer works for your purposes.  As far as security goes, you can add third party security apps. Using 32-bit apps means they are older apps and likely have security holes themselves.
