The Samsung Galaxy S4 now comes with a brand new technology that allows users to locate their lost or stolen phone, or, in the event of a crisis, it can even end the phone’s life. While skilled hackers can disable phone tracking apps like the well-known “Find My iPhone”, the LoJack system is integrated into the phone’s core software, also known as its firmware. In order to unlock your phone, and switch off the device that tracks you the person who stole it would have to degrade the firmware, effectively damaging the phone. Of course, there’s also the therapeutic (and possibly practical) advantage of having the ability in the event of a “kill” a device when the owners are unable to recover the device from a criminal. “Killing” a phone renders it inoperable, which means the new operating system can’t be installed.

The Galaxy 4S is the initial mobile to include LoJack technology.

The service costs $29.99 annually and covers the cost of finding the phone. Previously, Absolute Software’s LoJack software feature was exclusively accessible on tablet devices and computers. It will be the very first time this technology will be integrated into the device itself. Making tracking capabilities available on cellphones such as those of the Samsung Galaxy 4S reflects the increase in phone theft over the last few years.
