This latest update is the 7th for the Global, Exynos, S21 series and is currently being rolled out by Samsung.

This latest release replaces the G99*BXXU1AUB8/9 February builds.

It is a FOTA, (Firmware Over The Air), update and you can check... Settings > Software update... to see if it is available for you.

AUB5 is this the latest build?

Thanks felloffthetruck

Sounds about right, allowing for certification by Verizon. It is 6 builds behind today's AUBB global release.

Verizon calls it System Update 2

Verizon calls it System Update 2

I suppose it would be the 2nd update for the Snapdragon, U.S.A. models.

The Build date is in... Settings About phone > Software information > Kernel version (just after the build #)

I'm getting it now on my US Verizon phone. I'm guessing March security.

That looks correct for Verizon. AUAJ is a January build with a February security patch. Released 11th Feb. Followed by the February build, AUB5, with the March security update... released today.
