The update hasn't reported yet to when it could be released via Over-The- Air, but it is now can be seen and had been around at Samsung's Smart Switch server. Vodafone UK might still hold the firmware back to check some features and its compatibility with its network.
While taking a quick closer look at the build details itself. We have noticed that it doesn't have the new Apps Edge feature which has been adopted from Galaxy S6 Edge+ design. Noting that the rest of the Vodafone Galaxy S6 Edge in Europe has recently received an update to build G925FXXU2QOH8, to which included some of the said feature.
