Samsung has started rolling out the September security update for the International variant of the Galaxy A5 (2016). The upgrade — firmware version XXS3BPI8 — transports a total of 66 patches for the Android OS and nine fixes for the South Korean company's TouchWiz user interface.

As you'd expect, the OTA is being pushed out in stages. However, if you’d like to see if it’s ready for your device, you can do so by heading into Settings » About Device » Software Update » Update Now. Alternatively, you can always wait until you receive a notification prompting you to upgrade.
