This is the world's first 5G smartphone with a quantum random number generator (QRNG) chipset, and is exclusive to the SK Telecom network. Samsung Galaxy A Quantum is the renamed Galaxy A71 5G, priced at 649000 won (about 3751 yuan).

　Samsung Galaxy A Quantum will be pre-ordered tomorrow. The phone will start selling in Korea on May 22. Those who book mobile phones will be eligible for the Galaxy Buds wireless headphones for free.

　　The mobile phone uses the SKT IDQ S2Q000 QRNG chipset developed by ID Quantique, a Swiss subsidiary of SK Telecom. It uses quantum cryptography technology to generate random numbers and create unpredictable security keys, thereby enhancing the security of the device.

Samsung Galaxy A Quantum is equipped with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-O display with Full HD + resolution and on-screen fingerprint reader, with a four-camera setup on the back, including a 64MP main camera, a 12MP ultra wide-angle camera, a 5MP macro camera, and 5MP Depth sensor. The front of the smartphone is equipped with a 32MP selfie camera.
