Samsung Galaxy A23 5G UW (SM-A236V) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A236V firmware?
A236VSQSFEZI6, released September 24, 2026 with Android 15. It is a security update on bootloader binary 15. The archive holds 28 official builds across 2 regions (CSC).
Is the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G UW still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from September 2026, and 2 of 2 regions already have a build from that month; the rest usually follow within a few weeks.
Which Android versions did it get?
The SM-A236V builds in the archive run Android 14 to 15. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 15: A236VSQU8EYF3 (Jul 2025), 17 builds in total
- Android 14: A236VSQU5DXH1 (Aug 2024), 11 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-A236V firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 5 to 15:
- Binary 15 — since Sep 2026
- Binary 14 — since Aug 2026
- Binary 13 — since May 2026
- Binary 12 — since Feb 2026
- Binary 11 — since Dec 2025
- Binary 10 — since Sep 2025
- Binary 9 — since Jul 2025
- Binary 8 — since Apr 2025
- Binary 7 — since Oct 2024
- Binary 6 — since Oct 2024
- Binary 5 — since Aug 2024
A phone already on binary 15 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 15 build. How to read a build number.
