There are a lot of great new features in Android 5.0 Lollipop but one that’s gone rather unheralded has been the addition of a kind of “kill switch” that can be used as a major deterrent to would-be smartphone thieves.

If thieves can’t factory reset your device, then they won’t be able to successfully resell it since it will be obvious that the device has been stolen.
