Not sure if it is like that because I’m in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I’ve had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.

      My first samsung was wonderful and lasted me quite some time, my second one was asking me to add so many apps and accept so many permissions that I regret buying it. I don’t want to create waste by throwing it out but…

        You could always sell it to someone in the market for a used phone.

        you can always install a custom rom.

        samsung hardware is quite decent still despite their software being garbage

      I think that’s some app. Maybe one from Samsung, but it’s not the OS itself. OP probably unknowingly opted in to something. I have two S10e and never had an ad in the notifications. I don’t have a Samsung account. Could be related. … or it’s really a regional thing.
