Firmware Hub
Samsung Galaxy Firmware
Samsung firmware is the complete software package that runs on Galaxy smartphones, tablets, and wearables. It includes the Android operating system, Samsung's One UI interface, security patches, device drivers, and carrier customisations. Every firmware release is identified by a build number that encodes the device model, region, and version.
This independent resource tracks firmware releases across the Samsung Galaxy lineup. We catalogue build numbers, Android versions, One UI versions, security patch levels, and release dates for devices from the Galaxy S, Z, A, M, F, and Tab series. Each firmware record is labelled Verified, Reported, or Expected so you can distinguish confirmed releases from rumours.

What Samsung firmware includes
A Samsung firmware package contains several layers: the Linux kernel and Android framework, Samsung's One UI system applications and customisations, carrier and region configurations defined by CSC codes, and the security patch level. Together these determine what features your device supports, which Android version it runs, and how it behaves on your carrier's network.
How Samsung firmware is distributed
Samsung distributes firmware over the air (OTA) in staged rollouts by region and carrier. The same device model may receive updates on different schedules depending on its CSC region code. Firmware is also distributed through Samsung Smart Switch for direct PC installation. Updates are not simultaneous worldwide — a release may reach one country weeks before another.
