The new build for Galaxy Note 8 can be identified by firmware version N950FXXSFDUD1. This is a minor update and does not bring any major changes to the user experience. But internally, it gives a little bump in the security patch level.
Samsung announced Galaxy Note 8 in 2017 with Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) which is upgradable to Android 9.0 (Pie). In regard to system update, the device is a part of the quarterly release cycle that means, it could only receive a couple of updates more.
The OTA update is out and will hit your phone in a short while. If you want to avoid the wait and flash the new firmware manually, Go to Settings, tap Software update, and follow through with the Download and install option if tapping it yields any results.
