It also fixes some bugs with the notifications, issues with DeX mode, Bluetooth connectivity & pairing issues, and issues with My Files.
The one issue from the list of bugs they addressed seems to be the issue with Bluetooth, but the other major issues with the Display and Cameras, FPS, etc, remain unfixed.

Users Anticipate Resolution to Widespread Issue
The Galaxy S24 Ultra has to get its major update to address battery, camera, speaker, display, and more concerns. People are specifically asking for the dull screen issue to be fixed. We have no information on whether Samsung will actually change the display tuning. Reports are conflicting, with some saying Samsung will fix it and add more DCIP3 % (vibrancy) with an update, while others say this is how Samsung wants the display to be tuned.
We recommend enabling automatic update installation on your phone. This way, it’ll automatically download the update via Wi-Fi whenever available.
