Samsung Galaxy S23 FE (SM-S711W) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-S711W firmware?
S711WVLS8FZI5, released September 22, 2026 for region PCM with Android 16. It is a security update on bootloader binary 8. The archive holds 6 official builds for this region.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from September 2026.
Can I downgrade the SM-S711W firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 6 to 8:
- Binary 8 — since Jun 2026
- Binary 7 — since Feb 2026
- Binary 6 — since Jan 2026
A phone already on binary 8 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 8 build. How to read a build number.
