Lost or Stolen: Android vs iOS

[अbhay]

So today I heard from one of the iPhone user is when your iPhone is lost, the person who stole the iphone need to use Face unlock or passcode to unlock the iPhone. What he also said is that even if you install new ios in the stolen iPhone,  you need to login with your same apple username & password which is currently register in the iPhone to unlock the iPhone. This security features makes the iPhone unusable if it's lost or stolen.

This made he think, when a Samsung user phone is stolen or lost, just with the wipe of the phone software or using hard rest option for factory rest, the phone becomes brand new and we can use new email id to setup the phone. Making the phone usable for the person who stole it or for the person who found the lost phone.

So from what I understand is, when iPhone is lost no one can use it and if Samung or android phone is lost anyone can use it after resetting the software.

Need your expertise knowledge on this topic.

After that you just need to type some adb commands to do a power off or factory reset.

And even there are many softwares available and by using any of those you can easily factory reset the device.

Can we copy phone data in locked device. Suppose my phone screen broken and i need back kinda..!! Possible??

Yup that's right, he might not have those things, but he definitely can remove the SIM card and move to a different location.

Now, from Samsung's or google find my device, you will only be able to trace it's last known location. Thus, now have plenty of time to do it by himself or get the job done through a third person.

Sure you can do that with FRP and Secure Startup enabled (both are enabled by default these days)?

You can easily bypass FRP lock after reset by using a program.

How do you get into recovery with Secure Startup enabled?
