As expected, this update does not bring the September security patch, as Samsung seems to have deemed plugging the BlueBorne vulnerability a priority this month. The update also brings improvements to wireless charging and the navigation bar. The build number for the update is G955FXXU1AQI7. You can download it over the air (by going into the Settings » Software update menu), use a PC to upgrade via Samsung Smart Switch, or wait for the latest firmware to hit our firmware database to do a fully manual upgrade.
Don't forget to download this app to confirm that your Galaxy S8 or S8+ is now protected against the BlueBorne exploit. If the update hasn't reached your phone yet, there's nothing to worry about, as it takes time to show up for everyone. Just make sure you're a Wi-Fi connection, so you don't have to wait too long.
Thanks for the tip, Sri Ram E!
