Red, a cinematography camera manufacturing company has announced that they are launching a brand new smartphone called the RED Hydrogen One. This is the world’s first Holographic phone.
The Red Hydrogen One is a standalone full-featured, unlocked multi-band smartphone operating on Android OS that just happens to add a few additional features that shatter the mold of conventional thinking.
The processor inside will be a slightly out-of-date Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, but it seemed fast enough in the few demos I was able to try. Honestly, though, if you’re looking to get this thing just as a phone, you’re probably making your decision based on the wrong metrics. It’s probably going to be a perfectly capable phone, but at this price, what you’re buying into is the module ecosystem.
