The update weighs around 60MB and carries the build number G890AUCS6DQJ1. It is still based on Android 7.0.1 Nougat. The Galaxy S6 devices will not be getting the Android Oreo update, unfortunately. Samsung has also released a similar update for the Galaxy A5 2017, giving it the November security patch.
You can check for the update manually by heading to Settings > About > Software update on your device.
