Smart phones have played an important role in our lives. They can hardly leave it even if they are lost. When the phone is lost, it will also become a very troublesome thing. smartphone manufacturers seem to have long been aware of such security risks, and have added many practical anti-theft functions to their respective systems. , such as , iPhone , provides automatic data erasing by entering ten wrong passwords, , Xiaomi cloud anti-theft, etc., but these functions seem to ignore a very important point - the security of SIM cards.

Unlike the era of feature phones, not many users will pay attention to the PUK code on the SIM card, and this encryption solution is also the only way to protect the security of SIM card. In a sense, the most valuable thing for most users in their entire mobile phones is the stored information. is like contacts accumulated over the years, important office documents, etc., compared to the loss of the mobile phone, it is more regrettable that these information cannot be retrieved. At present, most mobile phone manufacturers provide cloud service functions for whole-machine backup. This function can be said to be another solution for "anti-theft". Meizu Technology's recent patent not only prevents the data in the phone from being lost or leaked, but also can lock the SIM card.

Of course, the patent description does not disclose what measures Meizu takes to lock the SIM card slot. If is a physical "locking", then this function should not be popularized for every Meizu mobile phone. , and I don't know whether the maintenance difficulty will increase. In fact, Meizu's existing anti-theft function has become widely known and has repeatedly made headlines of technology. even dare not easily recycle Meizu phones for third-party repair services. A video was circulated earlier. When the man was seeking help from the mobile phone store owner to repair the Meizu mobile phone he "picked" from his hand, he was rejected by his master and told the Meizu mobile phone that it had the function of automatic photo upload. If it was not the source of the right way, it was recommended that the item return to the original owner.

Some netizens also have another statement about the current "anti-theft" function of smartphones. These consumers think that it doesn't matter if the phone is lost, and the most important thing is the information. As long as the cloud service is done well, other functions seem to be unrelated. But imagine, although the information can be restored through cloud backup, the SIM card carries a lot of user personal information, especially , especially now there are too many Internet platforms that do not have verification login. As long as you get the SIM card, it seems that all privacy will be leaked in an instant. It has to be said that the ideas provided by Meizu Technology’s new patent is quite in line with the real needs of current consumers. If this patent can be applied to Meizu’s upcoming new flagship model, it would be better.
