Samsung Galaxy A Quantum
The Korean company Samsung has launched a new Samsung Galaxy A Quantum 5G phone that will amaze you. Well, this smartphone is said to be based on quantum technology, which will be a new term for most of you. So, imagine how exciting this smartphone will be with 5G specifications. Read the full articles to know all about this quantum smartphone.
Introduction
Well, the 5G era has already started, and it’s just five months of 2020, but we have started seeing multiple 5G phones in the market. And a touch of quantum technology can surely make a company reach heights of success through their smartphone. It will be equipped with many features and would give quantum encryption security. This smartphone can really come out as one of the most secure phones. A piece of exciting news about this smartphone is that Samsung has announced free earbuds on the prebooking of the product. If you are aware of the galaxy A71 5G, then this smartphone features may look similar to you. We will tell you all about this smartphone, but before going to the features, let’s know what this quantum technology is.
Quantum technology
With quantum technology, your smartphone will produce encryption keys. These will be based on the quantum random number given to you. You will get this in your chipset that will be the special quantum random number generator (QRNG). This generator chipset will consist of CMOS and LED sensors. Due to this chip, your sensitive app’s data will be secure. This generation is done with the help of a diode’s emitted light detection. Ultimately, the encryption key is produced with the help of these random numbers. Now, after knowing the security aspect, let us learn what major parameters must be considered before buying one.
Parameters
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| Purpose | The major thing is to know the real purpose behind your purchase. For instance, if you are a gamer, you need a more FPS smartphone whose processor remains cool. But, if you don’t use many extravagant features, you should buy a rough and tough basic mobile phone. If you like photography, you must look for better camera mobile phones. |
| Budget | Secondly, before getting away with any mind-blowing feature of a smartphone, set your budget and know its price. If it isn’t in your budget, no need to break your heart by knowing the smartphone in and out. |
| Battery | It doesn’t matter what purpose you have behind the smartphone, and a long battery is a must. Usually, a 4500mAh is an impressive battery, but on average, people have smartphones with 3200mAh battery. Below that, the battery will not be serving you much. |
| Processor | If you are a person with multitasking, be sure you check out the processor of the smartphone. At present, the latest in the processor is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset. Any processor of 800 series will go fine at present but surely will deteriorate as the world moves further in processors. |
| Display | If you have an obsession with big screens, you must go with the relevant options. But also, don’t overlook the display type, as it matters a lot to your eyesight according to your usage duration. |
| Extra features | Now, after looking at the points as mentioned above, check for extra features like the fast charging or the face unlock option. |
After knowing the parameters, let us know all the features of the Samsung galaxy A quantum in detail.

Features
Body
The built is good, and the dimensions are 6.4×2.9×0.32 inches. The galaxy A quantum weighs 6.53Oz or 185gm. It will have a gorilla glass 3 front with a plastic body. There will be a Nano SIM card slot in the frame as well.
Display
Since it is a Samsung smartphone, we expect the display to be vivid. However, it will have a super AMOLED capacitive display with a 2400×1080 pixel resolution that is 393 PPI density. The screen size will be nearly 6.7 inches with 16M colors and an 88.3% screen to body ratio.
Platform
The galaxy A quantum works on an operating system One UI 2 with an android 10 version. It is equipped with an Exynos 980 chipset along with a QRNG security chip. It has an octa-core 2GHz processor. The graphics card unit is the Mali G76 MP5.
Memory
The A quantum has an internal memory of 128GB that is a lot for a mobile phone. However, if you still want to increase the memory, you have a MicroSD card slot available for that. It also works on a RAM of 8GB. Hence, you will not complain about the slow working of this smartphone.
Camera
As usual, Samsung mobile phones are now going with dual and quad cameras. Similarly, this quantum model also has quad back cameras along with a front camera. These back cameras have pixels as 64MP, the main wide-angle camera, 12MP, the ultrawide view camera, and two 5MP cameras as macro and for depth. The front camera is a 32MP selfie camera that captures a comprehensive view. These can capture 1080 pixels or 4K videos as well, with a maximum up to 960fps. It also has some basic features like HDR and panorama.
Battery
The galaxy A quantum has a nonremovable lithium-PO battery with a capacity of 4500mAh. Another good thing is that this phone delivers fast charging with a 25W power, which is obviously more than the usual 5W of charging. It comes with a type-C charger that is a reversible connector.
Sound
The quantum A has a usual 3.5mm jack for earpieces. It does have a nice loudspeaker that will produce enough sound for an average-sized room to hear.
Network
This smartphone has all the basic GSM, LTE, HSPA technology along with the blazing 5G. The 2G bands are GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900. The 3G bands are HSPA 850, 900, 1900, 2100. The LTE is 4G. SA/NSA is the available 5G band. This will give you a speed of 42.2/5.76 Mbps.
Communication
A usual WLAN option that is Wi-Fi and Hotspot is available for communication along with the Bluetooth 5.0. Apart from the A-GPS and USB on the go, you also get the NFC feature for secure transfer of your media to other NFC enabled devices.
Extra features
The galaxy A quantum has multiple sensors for better use. The basic one is the fingerprint unlocking sensor, though this sensor’s position is the same as in all Samsung smartphones. It has more features like accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and proximity sensor. The browser supports HTML5 and ANT+.
Color variants
The galaxy A quantum will be available in three colors, prism cube silver, cube black, and blue.
Launch
The Samsung galaxy A quantum has been launched, but not released yet. This smartphone was launched on 14 May 2020 and is expected to be sold in the market at the end of July 2020.
Pricing
Samsung has set a starting price of USD 569 for this quantum encryption technology based smartphone. It may vary according to the color variant. This is an affordable price for such a smartphone with so many stuffed features.
Comparison
The Galaxy quantum is a great smartphone when you see the specifications, but let’s know who the competition is and what lags in Galaxy quantum.
Well, the first thing we notice here is that this phone is a 5G phone and we surely have already got many 5G phones in the market. Recently we saw a fantastic release of the Vivo iqoo 3 5G smartphone that has almost the same specs as the Samsung galaxy quantum.
In terms of network, the Vivo iqoo 3 gives an extra CDMA option as well. It was launched before the Samsung galaxy A quantum, in March 2020. However, the galaxy quantum has the advantage of being lightweight because the iqoo 3 weighs 214gm. The Samsung quantum is a plastic body, whereas the iqoo 3 is all glass back and aluminum frame. In fact, the Samsung quantum lags in giving two SIM slots as the iqoo is a dual sim phone.
The display is the same AMOLED except for the fact that the Samsung quantum gives you a much greater screen size.
Both smartphones are quad rear camera phones, but iqoo 3 is slightly lagging in terms of megapixels.
However, the iqoo 3 gives you a fast charging with power input to the phone as 55W. This is double the power output of 25W of Samsung quantum charger.
Typically, iqoo 3 has already created a lot of buzz in the 5G industry, and in comparison with that, Samsung quantum is a fierce competition.
Conclusion
The newly launched Samsung galaxy A quantum seems much more attractive due to the quantum encryption technology. The features are pretty much the same as we expect from a Samsung smartphone. But, the 5G feature is a new thing that makes it compete with another 5G phone available in the market like Redmi Note 10 or Vivo iqoo 3. Stay updated with us to get more information about this as soon as this product hits the markets.
