Samsung Launches Galaxy A55 Variant With Enhanced Security Chip

Samsung has launched the Galaxy Quantum 5, an enhanced version of the Galaxy A55, exclusively in South Korea on the SK Telecom network. The key feature of this variant is its quantum cryptography security chip, the S2Q000 Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) from ID Quantique, which enhances security for online banking and payment apps. This makes the Galaxy Quantum 5 particularly suited for users who prioritize digital security.

The Galaxy Quantum 5 features a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. It is powered by the Exynos 1480 processor, coupled with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The device runs Android 14 and is promised four major Android OS updates. A 5,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging powers the phone.

In terms of cameras, the Galaxy Quantum 5 sports a 32MP front camera and a triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 5MP macro lens, with the ability to record 4K video at 30fps. Additional features include an in-display optical fingerprint reader, IP67 dust and water resistance, stereo speakers, and connectivity options like 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC.
