Basis: manufacturer commitment
Samsung's UK spec API for SM-S931BLBDEUB lists "Security Update Period (Valid until)" as 31 January 2032. That is Samsung's own date, and it is the one shown; endoflife.date records 2032-02-03. Samsung states feature (OS) upgrades as a number of Android generations rather than a date, so no feature-update end date is shown (endoflife.date estimates 2032-02-03).

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.
Samsung publishes only the security date, 2032-01-31. It states no end date for new versions, so this page cannot say which ends first and does not guess.
