Samsung Galaxy A53 5G UW (SM-A536V) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A536V firmware?
A536VSQUPGZI5, released September 28, 2026 with Android 16. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 25. The archive holds 28 official builds across 1 region (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G UW still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from September 2026.
Which Android versions did it get?

- Android 14: A536VSQSBEXE6 (Jun 2024), 11 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-A536V firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 11 to 25:
- Binary 25 — since Aug 2026
- Binary 24 — since Jul 2026
- Binary 23 — since May 2026
- Binary 22 — since Apr 2026

A phone already on binary 25 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 25 build. How to read a build number.
