Samsung Galaxy A16 (SM-A165F) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A165F firmware?
A165FXXSBDZH6, released August 26, 2026 with Android 16. It is a security update on bootloader binary 11. The archive holds 141 official builds across 48 regions (CSC).
Is the Samsung Galaxy A16 still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from August 2026, and 20 of 48 regions already have a build from that month; the rest usually follow within a few weeks.
Can I downgrade the SM-A165F firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 7 to 11:
- Binary 11 — since Aug 2026
- Binary 10 — since Jun 2026
- Binary 9 — since Mar 2026
- Binary 8 — since Feb 2026
- Binary 7 — since Jan 2026
A phone already on binary 11 rejects builds with a lower binary in Odin ("SW REV CHECK FAIL"), so it can go back to an earlier Android version only if that version has a binary 11 build. How to read a build number.
