Meet the first blockchain-equipped 5G Smartphone

SK Telecom , South Korea's leading mobile phone operator, has teamed up with Samsung to launch the world's first 5G phone equipped with a blockchain- based authentication feature . The Galaxy A Quantum will go on sale in China for USD 528 from the 22 of maypole , although there will be a presale from 15 to 21.

The new smartphone , which is a variant of the Galaxy A71 5G , has a set of chips that generate quantum random numbers (QRNG) , which, according to its creators, makes it " impossible to hack ."

According to the official announcement, SK Telecom remarks that quantum security is used for a blockchain- based mobile electronic authentication function . All the data protected in this function (“Initial”) will be encrypted and can not be accessed without a decryption key .
