A recent report has revealed that the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G will launch with a Quantum Encryption chip technology in South Korea. The worlds largest smartphone brand was previously tipped to launch the first smartphone equipped with a quantum encryption chip, so this device might feature the technology.

According to reports from South Korean news agencies, Samsung and SK Telecom are gearing up for the launch of a smartphone equipped with Quantum technology chip for encryption. The device in question is expected to be announced in May 2020 and will be found in the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G. The South Korean tech giant will be integrating the Quantum encryption chip into the motherboard of the handset (with reports also claiming a rebranding to Samsung Galaxy Quantum).

For those unaware, the Quantum encryption chip technology enhances the smartphones data protection. In other words, it improves the security of the device and helps in better protecting sensitive data held within a device. Furthermore, it will make it harder for hackers to steal data from your handset.

Samsung smartphone that arrives with the new Quantum encryption chip will have their data encrypted in the form of random numbers. So even if the hacker attempts to read the memory, he would have to first pass the chips certification process before getting an approval. Similar to Samsung, even Sony has been reportedly working on the inclusion of Quantum encryption technology in its products.
