Galaxy A3 (2016) and Galaxy A3 (2017) owners can see if the update is available for their device by tapping the Download updates manually option in the Settings » Software update menu. The update will take time to propagate to all regions, so if it isn't already available in your country, be sure to check again in a few days. It's possible not every country will see an update with the December patch, as Samsung doesn't release regular updates for non-flagship devices. In that case, you'll just have to hold out until the company decides to release an update for your country with the most recent security fixes.
Thanks, Arif!
