Samsung Galaxy A23 5G (SM-S236DL) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-S236DL firmware?
S236DLUDSJFZI6, released September 17, 2026 with Android 14. It is a security update on bootloader binary 19. The archive holds 20 official builds across 5 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from September 2026, and 5 of 5 regions already have a build from that month; the rest usually follow within a few weeks.
Can I downgrade the SM-S236DL firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 16 to 19:
- Binary 19 — since Sep 2026
- Binary 18 — since Aug 2026
- Binary 17 — since May 2026
- Binary 16 — since Mar 2026
A phone already on binary 19 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 19 build. How to read a build number.
