The firmware build number for Samsung devices is categorized into two sections, namely, PDA and CSC. The PDA consists of the update build number with Android system changes and the CSC consists of country specific changes.

Whereas, the CSC is more of a country or network carrier specific update log for features like wallpapers, wifi calling, VoLTE, sounds etc.
