Tried the 'Galaxy Quantum2' Equipped with SKT Quantum Random Number Generation Chipset
[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] The 'Galaxy Quantum2,' equipped with SK Telecom's Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) chipset, is a product that responds to the increased security demands in the 5G era where everything is connected.
As Quantum2 prominently features security functions, the most anticipated aspect was undoubtedly how quantum security is applied in which apps and in what manner. Currently, Quantum2 applies quantum security services in authentication apps such as PASS, Initial, and T ID, as well as financial and payment apps like One Store, 11st, Shinhan Bank, and Jeil Bank. Personally, the fact that enhanced security features have been applied to the PASS app stood out. This app's usage frequency has increased recently following the abolition of the mandatory use of public certificates. If quantum security application expands to such versatile apps, it will likely become easier to gain consumer preference.
Although the scope of quantum security has significantly increased compared to its predecessor, it is still somewhat limited to SK Telecom's services and a few financial services, which is a drawback. However, considering the scalability of quantum security technology, it is expected to be expanded to various apps in the future, making it an attractive option. Since various financial tasks?from simple authentication to remittance and payment?are routinely performed on smartphones, and awareness of security is steadily increasing, the demand for specialized devices focused on security features is expected to be sufficient.
The quantum random number generation chipset applied in Quantum2 utilizes the quantum properties of superposition, entanglement, and uncertainty to generate pure random numbers that are unpredictable and patternless, helping smartphone users safely use specific services. Unlike conventional one-time passwords (OTP), which have certain patterns and can be reverse-engineered, quantum random numbers generate OTPs without any specific pattern, making them unpredictable.
Although quantum security is emphasized, that is not all. Recently released smartphones, including Galaxy models, uniformly emphasize camera performance, and Quantum2 is no exception. The main rear camera features 64 million pixels with an F1.8 aperture and optical image stabilization (OIS). With the application of out-focusing, it seems highly useful for users who frequently take portrait photos.
However, since the rear camera is clustered in the upper right corner, the screen also tends to shift to the right during shooting. While this is not unique to the Galaxy Quantum2, it can feel somewhat inconvenient. Although the camera lens does not necessarily have to be at the exact center of the device, efforts to keep it from drifting too far from the center are necessary for shooting convenience.
High-quality display cannot be overlooked either. Quantum2 features a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio and WQHD+ resolution. Even though it is not a flagship model, it supports a high refresh rate of 120 Hz, which is certainly an attractive feature. The smooth screen transitions reduce eye fatigue when web browsing or watching videos.
The exterior shares a general design framework with recently released Galaxy products, making it feel overall moderate. The rear employs the haze technique that Samsung Electronics has been promoting in flagship products, which definitely reduces fingerprint smudges. This aspect can be appealing to users who want a clean look without fingerprints. The color is generally comfortable. The pastel-toned Light Violet color I personally used was subtle and cozy, not flashy but felt luxurious.
