Those of you fortunate enough to already own the Galaxy S III might have woken up to an update ready and waiting to be downloaded. Samsung just pushed out the very first OTA update for the device and its changelog is rather short, citing only “improved stability.” Reports are showing that the update size may vary from 9MB to 31MB+, all depending on your current configuration, and may need to be done in two stages. The update doesn't seem to provide any noticeable changes but after installed will bring the device up to version I9300BUALF1.DM.
This is pretty early for the first update for a device and it's nice to see that Samsung is properly maintaining their newest flagship masterpiece. If you received the update and noticed something we haven't feel free to let us know in the comments below. To manually check for the update, head into About Device > Software Update, and there you should find an update ready for download.

i have received a 80 MB update today and it added brightness control on the notification area. i had just made a video for utube to complain about that, i guess ill just delete the video.
I received a 9MB OTA update yesterday although people are already talking about a new, around 70MB second update..
The lag when quitting an app and going back to the home screen is now gone. Cool :)
I haven’t received my update yet:-(
The only difference I notice is that switching back to the home screen is now much quicker. There used to be a short delay when switching back to the home screen (thought to be due to the device checking for a double-click of the home button to activate S-voice) and you could see the home screen populating itself. This so far seems to have been completely overcome and switching back to home is instant.
Well that sounds like a welcomed fix! Quicker transitions and less screen draw are a good thing :-) Thanks for the heads up, Wayne!
