   Tbey come from Samsung, ie from a Samsung server.   
      
   Some third party sites show you what has been released for each phone and   
   let you download images if you want to flash yourself, eg:   
   https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/   
      
   but that may wipe the phone in the process, which the OTA update won't.
