As Samsung is now done updating its premium and newer devices to Android 12, it has started delivering fresh software to the older and inexpensive phones. The latest handsets to bag the new system update are best-seller Galaxy A51, India-exclusive Galaxy F62, and South Korea-exclusive Galaxy A Quantum.

According to SamMobile, Samsung has begun to push the Android 12 update for the Galaxy A51 in Vietnam, Russia, and the UAE. The software update arrives with the newest One UI 4.1 instead of One UI 4.0.

Similarly, the Galaxy F62 is also getting the One UI 4.1 based on Android 12. However, the software build for this smartphone carries outdated February 2022 security patches. Whereas, the same update brings along March 2022 security patches for the Galaxy A51.

On the other hand, the publication doesn’t know if the Android 12 update for the Galaxy A Quantum comes with either One UI 4.0 or One UI 4.1. But it does say that the update bumps up the security patch level to March 2022.

As with any other OTA system update, the Android 12 for the aforementioned phones is also being rolled out in batches. Therefore, it will take some time to reach every unit as well as region. But do expect the update to be delivered in the coming days.

Users can go to Settings > Software update >  Download and install to check whether their handset has got access to the fresh software.

Samsung has teamed up with SK Telecom to unveil the Galaxy A Quantum. The phone is a 5G smartphone whose major highlight is the quantum random number generation (RNG) chipset for improved security which it packs.

In a press release by SK Telecom, the company disclosed that; “The quantum random number generation chipset helps smartphone users safely use specific services by generating unpredictable and patternless pure random numbers.”

The new phone bearing the quantum RNG chip seems to be a rebadged Galaxy A71 5G variant powered by an Exynos 980 5G chipset and paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The phone bears a large 6.7-inch FHD+ display with a front punch-hole for the selfie camera. At the rear, there is a Quad-camera setup and you get a 4,500mAh battery onboard.

The quantum RNG chip has an on-board CMOS image sensor to detect photons, with this being the basis for the random number generation used for encryption keys. The chip comes into play when the user first logs into the carrier account on the device. The network then undergoes Quantum-based OTP authentication.

The Galaxy A Quantum chip is also touted to function as a secure bank for storing personal documents such as insurance documents, graduation certificates in order to prevent forgeries and general falsification. In addition, the quantum RNG chip will in future be deployed in conjunction with biometric-backed mobile payments at offline retailers.

“When a user of Galaxy A Quantum sets biometric authentication with ‘SKT 5GX Quantum’ in the SK Pay app, you can see the message ‘SK Pay is protected with SKT 5GX Quantum’ at the top of the smartphone screen when using the app,” SK Telecom explained.

As for the pricing and availability, the Galaxy A Quantum will be up for pre-order from May 15 -21 in South Korea. The official sales will commence on May 22. The phone is priced at 649,000 won (~$529).
