Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ 5G (SM-X616B) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-X616B firmware?
X616BXXUCEZE6, released May 20, 2026 for region INS with Android 16. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 12. The archive holds 2 official builds for this region.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ 5G still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from May 2026.
Can I downgrade the SM-X616B 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 12:
- Binary 12 — since May 2026
- Binary 11 — since Feb 2026
A phone already on binary 12 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 12 build. How to read a build number.
