What is the latest SM-A536E firmware?

Is the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from September 2026.
Can I downgrade the SM-A536E firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 23 to 24:
- Binary 24 — since Sep 2026
- Binary 23 — since Jul 2026
A phone already on binary 24 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 24 build. How to read a build number.
