If you own a Samsung Android phone, it is important to take note of firmware update files and their corresponding names. The firmware build number for Samsung devices is divided into two categories: PDA and CSC.

The PDA contains the updated build number and Android system changes, while the CSC pertains to country-specific modifications.

If you download OTA updates directly from Samsung, you do not need to worry about CSC. However, if you are an advanced user who intends to download the exact firmware file for your device, you must be aware of the CSC version.

What is CSC?

The word CSC stands for Country-Specific Code, which differs by country, region, or network carrier. To simplify things, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of all CSC or product codes and their corresponding countries or carriers.
