There are a few reasons why you might need to use Smart Switch on your laptop to update your Samsung phone instead of doing it directly through the phone's settings:
* Carrier Restrictions: Some carriers may restrict or delay the rollout of software updates over-the-air (OTA) to their customers. Using Smart Switch can bypass these carrier restrictions and get you the latest update sooner.
* Large Update Size: If the update file is very large, downloading it directly on your phone might be slow or even impossible due to limited data or unstable network connections. Using Smart Switch on your laptop allows you to download the update over a faster and more stable Wi-Fi connection.
* Troubleshooting Issues: If you're encountering problems with OTA updates, such as failed downloads or installation errors, using Smart Switch can sometimes be a more reliable method.
* Manual Update Selection: Smart Switch might offer access to more update options, including beta versions or specific firmware builds, which may not be available through the phone's settings.
Note: While Smart Switch can be a useful tool for updating your Samsung phone, always ensure that you're downloading updates from official Samsung sources to avoid installing corrupted or malicious software.
I hope this explanation clarifies why you might need to use Smart Switch for software updates.
