Samsung Galaxy Quantum 5: What’s Special About it?
The Galaxy Quantum 5 was created in partnership with SK Telecom and is exclusive to their network, making it unavailable for purchase outside South Korea. Aside from SK Telecom, Samsung also partnered with ID Quantique (IDQ), the company that provides the quantum cryptographic chip employed in the Quantum 5.
The chip is a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) that leverages quantum physics to produce genuinely random numbers for encrypting and decrypting sensitive data like Biometrics and passwords. By using truly random numbers generated by an independent chip, it reduces the risk of external interference and tampering that can affect traditional random number generation methods.
Aside from these, the Galaxy Quantum 5 is essentially the Galaxy A55 5G. This makes the Quantum 5 a solidified A55 5G with identical specifications.
