“Red Hydrogen” is definitely not your regular kinda phone. The rugged nature apparently gives a preview of what it has got on the inside.
Unlike a typical phone with smooth edges and cover area, Red hydrogen has rough edges and cover that is well articulated with a profound design to give you a unique experience.

You may be wondering, what is Red? It will interest you to know that “Red Digital Cinema“, the brand owner of “RED“, are the manufacturers of digital cinematography cameras(the Red Cameras) and accessories – The most powerful HD modular cameras in the world. Great movies like the latest “Transformer“, “Guardian of the Galaxy vol.2″, “The Martian“, popular TV series and Netflix series, etc- were all shot on “Red Camera”.
Red Digital Cinema is bringing its expertise in camera design into phone manufacturing. One can only imagine how great the phone camera would be. Amazing!
Red Digital Cinema is looking to expand beyond cameras this year with its first phone, the Red Hydrogen. Red is promising a phone with a “holographic” display known as 4-views that not only provides a glasses-free 3D image, but also lets you have a total view around and behind objects by displaying multiple properties on whatever you are watching, and stereoscopic video-capture capabilities.
