RED Launches a $1,200 Smartphone With a ‘Hydrogen Holographic Display’

RED, a company known for its high-end $10,000+ cameras, is launching a smartphone called the RED Hydrogen One. Some of the features include a 5.7-inch “Hydrogen holographic display” capable of viewing holographic RED Hydrogen 4-View content, 3D content, and 2D/3D virtual-reality and augmented-reality content, a built-in H3O algorithm that can convert stereo sound into multi-dimensional audio, and support for modular components. PhoneDog reports: RED isn’t really talking about any of the Hydrogen One’s raw specs like its processor, camera resolution, RAM, or battery size. We do know that it runs Android and that it’ll have a microSD slot, and we can see in RED’s sole teaser image that the phone will also have a 3.5mm headphone jack and USB Type-C port. The RED Hydrogen One is currently slated to begin shipping in Q1 2018. If you’re already sold on the device, you can pre-order an aluminum model for $1,195 or a titanium version of $1,595. RED does say that these prices will be available for a limited time only.
