The 'Galaxy Quantum5' goes beyond conventional quantum encryption security by adding AI capabilities and features a larger display compared to its predecessor. The retail price remains the same as the previous model at 618,200 KRW (including VAT).


The Galaxy Quantum5 introduces the AI feature called 'Circle to Search.' Users can draw a circle around a desired object on the smartphone screen to search for information related to it.


The display size has increased to 6.6 inches from the previous 6.4 inches. The camera is a 50-megapixel high-resolution wide-angle camera, supporting Nightography (low-light night shooting) technology that reduces noise during nighttime photography.


The Galaxy Quantum5 offers strong durability with a metal frame on the side and glass on the back. It will be available in three colors: Awesome Ice Blue, Awesome Navy, and Awesome Lilac.


As SKT's fifth quantum security phone, the Galaxy Quantum5 is equipped with a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) chipset. It protects service apps with quantum security and encrypts authentication information within the device as well as data on external memory using QRNG technology.


As with its predecessor, information stored on the device’s external memory can also be encrypted through QRNG. Additionally, it provides a 'Quantum Indicator' notification feature on the status bar to confirm the use of quantum security services. The 'Quantum Indicator' notification can be turned ON or OFF, but regardless of the notification setting, the QRNG function remains active as a system default.


From the 28th of this month to the 3rd of next month, SKT will offer all consumers who purchase the ‘Galaxy Quantum5’ basic benefits including a genuine Samsung silicone case, a 2-month YouTube Premium subscription, a 6-month trial of MS 365 Basic, and a 60-day YES24 Crema Club Standard membership.


Additionally, consumers who purchase the ‘Galaxy Quantum5’ by the 3rd of next month can choose one of the following benefits: 50,000 11pay points or CU benefits worth 50,000 KRW (T Woosoo Plus subscription CU 6-month pass & CU mobile gift certificate worth 20,000 KRW).


On the official online mall T Direct Shop, customers who pre-order from the 23rd to the 27th and activate their device by the 3rd of next month will receive an additional 50,000 11pay points.


Furthermore, SKT is holding an event where participants who solve quizzes related to the ‘Galaxy Quantum5’ will be entered into a draw to win Starbucks and Baskin Robbins gifticons. This event will be accessible via the T World banner from the 28th of this month to the 8th of next month.



Yu Cheol-jun, head of Smart Device CT, stated, "The Galaxy Quantum5 is the latest in the Quantum series, enhanced with premium-level performance and AI features to increase completeness. We will continue to strive to provide consumers with convenient AI functions at reasonable prices."
