Google brings better bricking to Androids, to curtail crims
Briefly

The theft detection lock uses accelerometers and Google AI to detect rapid movement from the owner and immediately locks the device, enhancing user security.
The offline device lock feature protects smartphones from unauthorized access by locking them after a prolonged disconnection, ensuring safety even without network availability.
Remote locking using just the phone number allows stolen device owners to quickly regain control without remembering complex logins, making recovery more accessible.
Upcoming Android security measures will require biometrics and credentials for performing operations like factory resets, making it harder for thieves to profit from stolen devices.
