Phone manufacturers has always been in a hurry to get new products out to a hungry audience waiting for the next big thing to hit the cellphone arena. As a consequence the phones will almost always be put out for sale before all the errors and quirks has been cleansed from the system. As a way of correcting these errors manufacturers like Samsung, Huawei, HTC, Sony etc will from time to time need to update the firmware.
In most cases these updates will show up on your phone when the time is right, but for those of you not willing to wait a second longer than necessary there is a way to check for these upgrades manually. This will in some cases give you the update sooner rather than later.
