Even though it is already December, the two Samsung flagship smartphones from 2015 have just started to receive the November Security patch on T-Mobile. As expected, the OTA update brings all the security patches from Google and Samsung's own 14 fixes for the month. The phones should also become more stable and improve in performance as per the changelog.
Post the download and installation, the firmware version should change to G920TUVU5EPK5 on the Galaxy S6 and G925TUVU5EPK5 on the Galaxy S6 Edge. Of course, if you are not on contract with any carrier, you have probably already received you November security update from Samsung weeks ago. In fact, the December security update from Google is about to be released any time now. It usually takes a few days for the OEM to prepare the update for its specific models and incorporate them with some of their own custom fixes, before the carriers can have access to the ROM and further add their own customizations to it. This is basically the reason why there is usually a delay in-between.

While the Galaxy Note 7 ultimately turned out to be a blunder for Samsung, the phone itself was received quite well both for the hardware it sported, as well as for the feature-rich software that ran on it. Although the Note 7 isn't available anymore, Samsung has decided to bring the same Grace UI onto the Galaxy Note 5 from last year. As of now, the update is only being rolled out in South Korea, to the Korea Telecom versions of the handset.
Post the downloading and installation process, the firmware version should change to KKU2CP|1 and popular features seen on the Galaxy Note 7 like the Blue Light Filter or the Ultra Power Saving Mode should now also be available on the Note 5. Apart from bringing the Grace UI to the Galaxy Note 5, this update brings a lot of regular improvements in performance and bug fixes as well. The same update should make its way to other regions as well, but there has been no official word about it. Let's not forget that the Galaxy Note 5 in in line to get the latest and greatest of Android 7.0 Nougat from Samsung later on. Unfortunately, there's no date on that release either.
