After rumours, Samsung has announced Galaxy Quantum 2 (SM-A826S) in partnership with SK Telecom in South Korea. This is the successor to last year’s Galaxy A Quantum which was introduced as the world’s first 5G smartphone with quantum random number generation (QRNG) chipset. Even this has a QRNG (Quantum Random Number Generator) chipset with the world’s smallest size (2.5 mm wide x 2.5 mm long) like its predecessor.
“The quantum random number generation chipset helps to use security-critical services such as authentication, finance, and messengers more safely by generating unpredictable and unpatterned pure random numbers,” said the company.
It has a 6.7-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED 120Hz Infinity-O Display, Snapdragon 855+, 6GB RAM, 64MP triple rear cameras, 10MP front camera and a 4500mAh battery with 25W superfast charging.
