SK Telecom to launch QRNG-powered 5G smartphone Galaxy Quantum2

Via SK Telecom press room

Apr 15, 2021

SK Telecom (NYSE:SKM, hereinafter referred to as “SKT”) today announced that it will introduce the Galaxy Quantum2, its second smartphone equipped with quantum cryptography technology, in cooperation with Samsung Electronics. The company will open pre-order for the Galaxy Quantum2 from April 13 to 19, 2021 and officially launch the device on April 23, 2021 in Korea.

With features matching to those of Samsung’s flagship smartphones - i.e. a 6.7-inch display, 64MP camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 plus chipset, etc. - along with strengthened quantum cryptography technologies, the Galaxy Quantum2 will be a new choice for customers who value both performance and security.

Like its predecessor the Galaxy A Quantum, the Galaxy Quantum2 is equipped with the world’s smallest quantum random number generator (QRNG) chipset measuring 2.5mm by 2.5mm developed by ID Quantique, SKT’s strategic partner in quantum cryptography communication technology. This QRNG chipset allows smartphone holders to use services that require security in a more safe and secure manner by generating unpredictable and patternless true random numbers.

The Galaxy Quantum2 is expected to provide differentiated security experience to customers by dramatically expanding the number of services that can be applied with quantum cryptography. That is, services that are based on Android Keystore (APIs) will be automatically secured by QRNG.

For instance, SKT’s services like T World, PASS and T Membership, as well as mobile banking services of Shinhan Bank and Standard Chartered Bank Korea will be securely provided through the use of quantum cryptography.

Going forward, SKT plans to further expand QRNG-applicable services to include those provided by financial companies like Samsung Card and SKT’s music streaming service FLO and video ringback tone service V Coloring.

“With the Galaxy Quantum2, we have successfully expanded the application of quantum security technologies to a wider variety of services including financial and security services,” said Han Myung-jin, Vice President and Head of Marketing Group of SKT. “Our efforts will continue to keep expanding services that are safely and securely provided via the Galaxy Quantum2.”
