The update has the build number S916BXXU3BWJM and is currently rolling out in several countries including Germany, UK, Norway, Finland, and more. The release in the United States will also arrive soon.
The software is based on One UI 6 Beta 9, which means Samsung hasn't changed much since the release of the last beta. If you're using One UI 6 Beta, the update will weigh around 350 MB. For regular users it should be heavier, around 3GB.
Samsung rigorously tested the update with nine betas before this stable release. This update includes the October 2023 security patch, although we expect Samsung to release the November patch.
