I'm using tablet S6 Lite. Not able to find secure startup option in the settings. The option that require you to enter pin or pattern when you startup the device (when you turn on after restarting or turning off the device). where to find it? and Is it the case for only S6 lite or for one ui 2.5?

Nope. It's not there. checked it before Posting in forum. There is an option called secure folder, but not secure startup or ask pin before startup. I'm surprised it's a pretty common setting found in most android devices.

Sounds like you are taking about setting a lock screen pin or something. You need to change screen lock type by going into lock screen setting for that.

No! I am not asking about screen lock type. Please understand the question before posting something as an answer. I was asking about secure startup. this option adds lock to the boot-up. So the Device does not boot up without entering pin/pattern after restart. This adds extra layer of encryption to the device. So that no one can break into the device through usb debugging when it is locked or switched off. Normally after theft a device can be easily compromised through usb. With secure startup turned on, this will require to enter pin/pattern.

I know I am responding after almost 1.5 yrs, because I know here I will not get answer for any question slightly more complicated than a basic question. So I left.

But I found the answer,

One UI does not provide this feature anymore. Because Samsung thinks Knox security is better than what Android provides, so they don't want to implement other encryption methods. Which is bad IMO.
