Samsung Smart Switch is our choice for updates for Samsung devices as it is the official tool recommended by Samsung itself. However, Samsung Smart Switch can only work if the update has been pushed to the devices or else the only option left is using Odin. Odin is the tool that will help you flash the official firmware manually on your device.

Before you go ahead with any update you must backup your data and make sure everything that you need is stored in a safe place. Updates can erase the device memory and delete everything that was once on the device. The best and easiest way to backup a device is to use the Samsung Smart Switch. It can automatically detect your device and you can choose the backup to store the data on the tool. Next time when you connect your device after the update, if you wish to restore the old data you can do it in the tool itself.
