Hey how many of you use smart switch to update your phone? Does it really have any advantage?

If yes can anyone explain the process please?
Thanks.

I did a reddit search and it seems no one uses smart switch to update phone these days.

For major updates like ONE UI 4.1, I prefer updating through Smart Switch. Other minor updates like monthly security patches I do it on the mobile itself.

In simple words always download and install the full size ROM for major updates like Android 11 to 12 or any serious bug fix.

Busy people who don't want to do big size downloads can visit the service center.

Smart switch is mainly used when ur phone is unable to fetch the update file for reasons unknown n it downloads the whole OS right to ur phone just like in the case of ur phone getting bricked or major OS related issues. So those people with such devices might use smart switch to update.
Athreullu advantage I guess.

Yes bro avasyam undenn thonnunilla, nowadays OTA updates is the best way n that smart switch is mainly for getting fresh copy n during phone having problems only if ur phone is unable to fetch update is when smart switch is more usable.

Previously I had a windows Phone n when it used to brick during updates I used to use recovery tool similar to smart switch to install a fresh copy of OS'
So if u think ur current MAIN phone don't have any major OS issues then normal OTA updates are enough.

But if u have any other 2nd less important phone then you can test it with this smart switch software. Just to see what really happens 😂😅😅
