Samsung's One UI 7 beta brings support for Google's Identity Check feature. Google teased this feature back in October, but it now seems to be going live for the S24 series in the One UI 7 beta. How Identity Check works: When your phone is in an untrusted location, biometric authentication will be required to make any changes to important security settings. This is similar to Stolen Device Protection on iPhones. New devices launching with Android 15 or higher that support biometric authentication are required to preload a certain version of Google Play Services in order to ensure the Identity Check feature is available, so we'll see more and more devices soon with this feature.
