Samsung has introduced the Galaxy Quantum 5, a specially secured variant of its Galaxy A55 smartphone, tailored for the South Korean market. Created in partnership with SK Telecom and ID Quantique, the Quantum 5 features a quantum cryptography security chip, designed to bolster its online security capabilities.
Quantum Security Chip Technology
The Quantum 5 integrates ID Quantique’s Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) chip, which utilizes quantum physics to create random numbers. Unlike conventional random number generators that can be affected by external influences, QRNGs generate numbers that are genuinely random and impossible to predict. These numbers are crucial in the encryption and decryption of sensitive data such as biometrics and passwords. Aside from the QRNG chip, the device maintains the specifications of a standard Galaxy A55.

The Samsung Quantum 5 is outfitted with a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display, offering FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is powered by the Exynos 1480 chipset, coupled with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, and operates on the Android 14 OS. It is equipped with the Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) chip from ID Quantique.
The smartphone's camera array includes a 50MP primary rear camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 32MP front camera. It also features a 5,000mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging.
