S23 software support

Hi all,

I was thinking about getting the s23 this Christmas but I'm concerned about the software support. It will only get 2 major OS updates and 3 security which isn't great as I want to keep my phone for 4 years ish. Except for that, the phone for me is great, the performance, screen, size, cameras.

I was also looking at the s24 which quite a bit more expensive but has an exynos chipset (EU region) which I don't trust will be much better then Snapdragon 8 gen 2. I was also looking at the s24 fe which is priced similarly but that is way to big for me.

Let me add that I'm not an intense user, maybe some simple multitasking but no gaming or video editing but I'm just looking for longevity of the device. I'm also coming from an iphone which has a great longevity but I have noticed with a software update the phone getting slower and the new features not really changing anything (i regret updating to ios 18) So I'm wondering if the long support is really that necessary for the S23, and if it won't make it worse? Do you have any experience with using older samsung devices and how they hold up?

Thanks for all advice.
