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.

OS upgrades versus security updates
OS upgrades bring new Android versions and features. Security updates are patches for newly found flaws, and they can outlast the upgrades.
Both dates are 2031-01-24: Samsung commits to new versions and to security patches for the same length of time, so nothing is patched after the last new version.
