There is another update hitting on Verizon Galaxy Note 5 this week. The update is dubbed as build version MMB29K.N920VVRU3BPJ3 and it's still base in Android Marshmallow. However, the latter brings the latest security patches as well as optimizes the device performance, and resolve known issues, according to Verizon. So, it seems that its a minor OTA update only and there is no any other major impact to the device.
Since the previous update has brought us the September Android security patches, so there is no doubt that this update will now also brings the security patches for the month of October. Then the November security updates might be held available before December end.
In addition, there are still no credible reports to when the Android Nougat updates will arrive on the Galaxy Note 5. Noting that the Nougat beta updates was already sent out on the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge, but there are still some issues have been found and needs further fixes. So the Nougat updates might not coming for the Galaxy Note 5 this year. It might come out late on or in between from March to June next year.
