Regions

[edit]

Starting with the Galaxy Tab S8 series, the CSC codes are consolidated together. This means that Samsung will speed up the firmware update process for these devices in more regions. Fewer Country Specific Codes (CSCs) means that official Samsung software updates will reach local markets faster.[11]

Some countries on this list may be shown separately during the initial setup process.

OXM

[edit]

This CSC group applies to the rest of the world. These CSC codes will work for all variants unless specified.

Regions/carriers marked with an asterisk (*) cannot be used with the Call and Text on Other Devices feature.

South Korea

[edit]

Wi-Fi only variants sold in this market do not have any carrier-specific CSC codes, but they still use the OXM Multi-CSC for expanded language and region support unlike their cellular counterparts, which use the OKR Multi-CSC.

North America

[edit]

Wi-Fi only variants sold in this market do not have any carrier-specific CSC codes, but they still use the OXM Multi-CSC for expanded language and region support unlike their cellular counterparts, which use the OYM/OYN and OYA/OYV Multi-CSCs for the US and Canada, respectively.
