As the successor to the original Galaxy A Quantum released last year, Samsung has just joined hands with South Korea’s SK Telecom to launch the second Galaxy Quantum 2 smartphone with built-in quantum cryptography technology to improve device security.
The new smartphone features a chip developed by ID Quantique, which houses the smallest quantum random number generator (QRNG) in the industry so far in an area of 2.5 square millimeters. The working principle is to capture random noise through LED and CMOS image sensors.

SK Telecom said that through the unpredictable and patternless real random numbers generated by the QRNG chip, smartphone users can use more secure methods to use services with high-security requirements.
In addition to the compact QRNG chip, this security solution can also be seamlessly integrated with the Android Keystore API, helping developers to easily incorporate support for this new technology.
In addition to compatible with its own T World and other services, SK Telecom also specifically mentioned corporate partners such as Shinhan/Standard Chartered Bank and will support more services including Samsung credit cards in the future.
Closer to home, Galaxy Quantum 2 itself has quite high specifications, similar to the flagship smartphones we have seen a year or two ago. Including Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ chipset, 64MP main camera, and 6.7-inch OLED screen that supports 120Hz high refresh rate.
Regrettably, the aircraft is currently only available in South Korea’s domestic market, and the launch date is April 23.
