Assuming the thief want both the phone and the data (because data / your identity is very valuable these days).

    Little macro running on my phone, that as soon as my smartwatch gets out of range, it locks the screen. Add the ability to format via wasted remotely, and we are set. The only way to disable internet/ actvate airplane mode is to insert the password if the screen is locked. Also I’ve never checked, but if graphene has a dead man’s switch, not even poweing off would keep the data intact.

        Not the parent commentor, but I do something very similar with Tasker. Whenever my phone disconnects from one of a list of Bluetooth connections (like my watch or my car) or even if it just gets a solid jolt to the accelerometers, it goes into lockdown mode. This means the screen gets locked and biometrics can no longer be used to unlock it, requiring the entering of a PIN code to unlock.
