After various leaks and rumours, Samsung has finally launched the Galaxy Quantum 2 in collaboration with SK Telecom. The successor to last year’s Quantum phone, the Quantum 2 comes with a new QRNG security chipset, Snapdragon 855+ SoC and 120Hz refresh rate screen.
The phone is exclusively available in South Korea right now, but it is rumoured that the Quantum 2 could be rebranded as Galaxy A82 for the rest of the world. The Galaxy A82 though may not come with a QRNG chipset.
This QRNG chipset adds a layer of security to the device. It stands for Quantum Random Number Generator chip and is the smallest of its kind. This chip generates unpredictable random codes using the noise from an LED and a CMOS sensor. This code is further to secure banking apps thus making your accounts safe and secure.
