Thanks to Samsung’s partnership with SK telecoms, the Samsung Galaxy A Quantum bears the title of the first smartphone to feature the Quantum random number generator chip.

The QRNG chip with model number SKT IDQ S2Q000 was developed by SK Telecoms to help generate random passkeys that help keep data on the Samsung Galaxy A Quantum safe from hackers.

Thanks to the Image sensor and the Light-emitting diode contained withing the QRNG chip, it is able to generate random numbers by calculating the number of photons in a certain area.
