This latest update is the 5th for the Global, Exynos, S21 series and is currently being rolled out by Samsung.

It would appear that this is a bugfix for the previous release, AUB3, as well as a camera update.

The Galaxy S21 Global, Exynos, devices that will receive this update are...
  • S21 5G model SM-G981
  • S21+ 5G model SM-G996B
  • S21 Ultra 5G model SM-G998B
This latest release replaces the G99*BXXU1AUB3 February build.

It is a FOTA, (Firmware Over The Air), update and you can check... Settings > Software update... to see if it is available for you

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra global, Exynos, owners will not notice much difference between the AUB3 February update and this latest, AUB6, release as the issues that it bugfixes, network, battery drain and overheating, only affected the S21 5G and S21+ global models.

So, two February updates in the space of just 8 days demonstrates Samsung's commitment to making their flagship S21 series the best they can be and stamping on any bad publicity that may affect future sales, globally.

Just checked and so far, as with the AUB3 update, this new release has rolled out first to worldwide S21 phone's running Samsung's stock, non carrier branded, firmware first and carrier branded firmwares will show up after the respective carriers have certified them.
