Difference between `String(value)` constructor & `value.toString()` method

I was wondering what is the difference between `String(value)` constructor & `value.toString()` method for coercing a value to string. Found the solution in stack-overflow. It seems `String()` constructor to some extend do call the `toString()` method albeit through a function. Which allows it to handle `null` & `undefined` value as well. That is not the case for `toString()` method. The image attached shows a `null` value results in null for `String()` constructor & for `toString()` method it throws a TypeError.
