Samsung starts rolling out October security patch for the Galaxy A3 (2016) in Europe

Samsung is now in the midst of pushing out a fresh build of the long-awaited Marshmallow update for the International variant of the Galaxy A3 (2016) in Europe. In addition to transporting all of the changes included in Android 6.0.1 to the handset, the upgrade also carries all of the patches baked into this month’s Security Maintenance Release (SMR).

As you’d expect, the update — firmware version XXU2BPJ1 — is making the rounds in the continent in stages — so don’t be alarmed if you haven’t received a notification prompting you to install the upgrade just yet. If you own a Galaxy A3 (2016) and would like to see if the upgrade is ready for your handset, simply head into Settings » About Device » Software Update » Update Now.

Thanks, Keenan!
