- The RED Hydrogen One is the first smartphone from RED Digital Cinema, the folks whose cameras have shot films from The Martian to The Hobbit to Transformers. But if you buy it, you’ll have to break the number-one rule of smart spending in mobile tech: buy it for what it is today, not for what it might be tomorrow. Come see why I'm holding on to mine (for better or worse) in MrMobile's RED Hydrogen One Review!

Just like everyone says, the 3D effect doesn't really translate to video - but check out the 4:00 mark for the best approximation I could make!
RED makes the best camera BUT didn't make the camera for the Hydrogen One.... Doesn't make sense.
I would love to play around with one. Unfortunately, no store in my area carries them. That I've found so far anyways.
@@PCFees Yeah, this is definitely a "need to see it in person" kinda thing.
V40 vs Red video comparison
Great review. I enjoyed watching it. I'm taking the trip with RED. My RH1 arrives end of the week 👌
You know this is another level review when he shows you the 3d effect on a 2d vídeo...
Best.UA-cam.Reviewer.
That effect at 4 min was pretty cool only time I’ve been able to get somewhat of an idea of how that feature works compared to other reviews
True, that's why I like Michaels reviews, he always shows something nobody else does (lol that sounded weird)
*Marques laughs and cries in the background*
😂 😂 😂 😂
Who’s wrong and who’s right here? Both reviews are vastly different.
*furiously slapping D Brand skins on it* "It's not working!!!?!" *He crumples to his knees and wails at the moon*
"You were the choosen one!"
@@TheSektorz Just watched Marques's review. Aside from a slight difference of opinion on the audio, we agree on literally everything. What you talkin' bout?
@@TheMrMobile yeah, but your review is better!
This dude's reviews are art !
Have to agree with you.
Mr.mobile is a step.above the rest in this reguard
Okay so I've been following you for over an year now. I have liked most of your videos but never really bothered to compare them with other reviewers because I just like to be updated with tech news and you do that for me good enough.
This is the first product in last one year I wanted to know more about so I watched quite a few reviews.
Now coming to the point, your review is what I expect a review to be. Not a guide on nit picking the hardware, not a review of whether it can endure bullets but a thoughtful opinion on what has been achieved with the product and where does this stand in the industry.
You focus just enough on specs and software to help me, the viewer understand what inside running it but your opinion on what the device holds in spirit is what separates you apart from any other reviewer. Watching others is like listening someone read the back of the box. Watching you is understanding a well informed person's opinion.
I hope you get more subscribers to help you keep on bringing us this great quality content.
Thank You.
Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback; thank you for the support!
The art of Mr.mobile and his approach to reviewing tech. Nicely done brother
I was going to say exactly the same until I scrolled down and saw this comment. I don't trust anyone but this guy! Many useless reviews by many other big names in the market, but none by you +MrMobile [Michael Fisher]
I really like the design of the phone. Looks rugged and more importantly different from the rest. They should've ditch that 4D old 3DS tech bullcrap and just focused on the camera since that's what they're known for in the first place.
100% this. All of it. +1.
As much as I would've loved to see RED use their own dedicated sensor for the main cameras, I wouldn't know how they differentiate from Sony's IMX sensors as well as Samsung's ISOCELL ones either. Smartphone image sensors aren't big you know.
The camera mod RED also talked about releasing around 2019 sounds intriguing but I doubt you'll be able to fit a really big sensor into a mod without it requiring a lot of power. Hasselblad already did this with their TrueZoom Moto mod with a camera sensor only as big as those used in point and shoots and while it offered OIS and x10 optical zoom, the images it took were often worse than the cameras it was supposed to replaced from the Moto Z phones.
I couldn't agree more I'm going to be honest with you I don't even understand why they implemented that in the first place they should have solely focused all their efforts on building out the modules so that you can attach amazing red sensors to the camera. the 3 DS looking screen is bad and if you're taking amazing pictures you need to be able to view them on an accurate good-looking screen.
the biggest problem I have with it is that the processor is already a year behind which means when they come out with the modules next year a two-year-old processor will have to handle whatever modules they're throwing at it. AND it'll have a bad screen.
I don't really understand all the bad reviews of the Display, I actually enjoy it a lot.
It fun to shoot like that and seeing the reactions of people.
Also the cinema module is not going to be compared to smartphone cameras, but to mirror less cameras.
#mirrorlesscameras
Anecdotal story. I followed this phone like a lot of other people and decided not to preorder it because of so little information. Then after it was actually released I saw nothing but bad reviews. So I decided to actually take a look at it at a demo. Within 15 seconds of looking at the holographic content I bought the phone. Seeing is believing this is an unbelievable device. it transforms the way you take pictures and how you look at mundane objects through a lens. I have personally found this to be a transformative device. Holopix is very addictive and kind of like Instagram. I regularly see updates and it's only made the device better. We switched from a Galaxy s8 plus and an iPhone x for these devices. This is not a gimmick. I'm actually impressed with this review video because the person actually did the updates and tried using it instead of an unboxing video, thx.
are you still using it?
And so the cinema module (and other modules) were never to be.
No other, I repeat, no other tech channel is more joyful to watch than this. It isn't about the quality of the video (every other tech channel has that), it's the script and the words used and the vocabulary and the way of describing things using idioms, references and what not. I just love the way you review things and describe them, Definitely the most underrated tech channel for sure! Just wanted to say this. I always appreciate the extra mile you go and that makes your videos stand out and more special than others! Keep it up! Cheers! :)
Gotta say, for a phone that took so long to release, the RED Hydrogen One sure is an overall disappointment
@MadMax like in every aspect 🙃
Tim Thyssen thank you! Buddy talking about where!? Everywhere!
MadMax camera, specs, display, price. That's where
Im buying mine next week even with all it's flaws. Its a failure? How like life... I give it a 10/10.
I watch all MrMobile and MKBHD videos and I always enjoy MrMobile's work more. Fisher's writing and presentation are top-class. Absolutely addictive. People who haven't discovered this channel yet are missing out.
looks like a razor phone and a moto Z had a baby
I don't think any other tech UA-camr handles video sponsorship spots as well as MrMobile does
Always waiting for your videos
Your introduction with music are the best and the most satisfying thing about you reviewing techs
Not too much background music and just a spectacular approach to review. Plotted and simple. As always your awesome
For people who never hold a Red Hydrogen One, they have no idea what they're missing. It's the most satisfying phone to hold. It's built like a tank! I'm still using my titanium version daily and I couldn't imagine switching to something else. Used to buy a new phone every year but that might have to be a thing in the past. Too bad Red cancelled the project. Hopefully there will be a more appealing design phones from other phone manufacturers in the future. I really don't like the rounded edges smartphone approach.
Such a slick and well composed review. Loving it. Keep it up!
Best review out there! Everyone said they couldn't show the 4d on camera.... Mr.Mobile did!
Good review. I always liked the way you narrate smoothly into pros and cons
The issues that you mentioned in the first minute of the video, it’s weird that none of the other big UA-camrs mentioned them. I didn’t think there were issues that big on the phone. Thanks for sharing, man.
There's no excuse for this phone flop, its not an upstart company. It's an established company selling to major studios and production companies charging six figures (more than most peoples' houses) for a device. I don't understand the lack of ability to make a truly remarkable phone. Perhaps they should have developed a "mini red" sensor to put in the phone...that would be nice.
Great review man, another excellent mr. Mobile original, keep up the great work!
The way you shot the pins is amazing!
I love how they call it “Better than 3D... Without glasses”, when that’s literally what it is! The only 3D device that I know of that’s actually stuck is the Nintendo 3DS. I own one of those and I absolutely love it, but it definitely didn’t succeed because of the 3D. I’ve always loved the effect - especially on the New 3DS systems, but the reason it performed so well were the games. The 3DS actually had many other strong reasons to buy it. Not to mention, if you’re like me and you enjoy the 3D effect - there’s actually tones of 3D-enabled content for it too!
I always take ur 1440p 60fps for granted. Love the video.
The title is probably the most underrated part of this video
As always a completely insightful review, keep up the great work!
I just wish RED would've kept quiet about the whole thing until say a month or two before actual availability. Such a well written and delivered review though that brings into question a few points other reviewers failed to raise. Bravo.
Michael - really nice job of providing a balanced review. Always appreciate your work.
Excellent video, very informative, as always. Thanks Mr. Mobile & keep them coming.
Finally someone mentions the HTC Evo 3D! To be honest, when I first got my Evo 3D, I loved it. It was gimmicky sure, but it was years ahead of it's time.
The way you've explained the hardware of this smartphone is one of the best I've seen recently. Worth the wait.
I think RED should stick to cameras...
actually i'm glad to see someone else pushing the envelope of smartphone tech in a field other than notches...if they get it right, it would be great for the entire industry
Or either sell their camera sensors to other actual smartphone companies
lloydagola Well first impressions are important.
This thing is a monstrous flop, no one’s gonna buy a second revision.
It did...
@@mrlloyd149 I think Razer does a better job at that
Great video 🔥
Great review again 👌🏼👌🏼
Background Music is so calm and great
I just started shopping for a new phone in the last few days after taking nearly three years off from thinking about such things. While I really love the Pixel 3 for its camera (sorry I compared the two but I'm trying to up my social media game in the year 2019), the hydrogen one's aesthetics and feel blew me away today in the store.While I know that phones have to be more than their looks and feel (I also like the huge screen) the hardware of this phone is superb in my book and I really hope Red pulls through!
Great review like always a true review thanks I'm gonna hold off a little see where this goes
I've actually had the Hydrogen since September 7th as a 'houdini' tester, immediately took it on the road to Europe and IBC. The speed and sheer depth of updates since then-- and the quality of red service has been astounding-- image quality has improved dramatically-- the upward slope of improvement shows no leveling off (I have the bokeh and refocus update... amazing). Also, on the Android side, latest Android patches, stock, clean. Where I differ with you is that everyone I have shown this to has had a visceral amazed reaction to the 3d effect. Any camera can be made to take bad photos-- when you hit the sweet spot, images are astounding and they pop. There is no doubt, 100% that there will be a camera module, with a Red designed sensor, meant to be a mirrorless killer. This phone is Jim Jannard's personal quest-- 4v only gets better and they pull off pocket cinema with real lenses. It's in stores now, go see it yourself if you are doubtful.
I can totally confirm, what he said.
Ordered it today! Leap of faith but I am looking forward to the modular accessories. First half full review I've heard. Every other phone is like a swiss army knife and clones every popular design. I think most folks are expecting perfection all the way around. I wish they had executed the release better (modular prices and maybe a lense?) This isn't for everybody but it has potential. Great review!
Your reviews, man! ❤️🤩
As average cell phone user, Red Hydrogen One is a great phone. No matter what all the professional UA-camrs say.
The 3d camera is not perfect but very close. Might not use it ever day but I'll have it ready in my pocket when I do.
The size is just an illusion. Its size is the same as a Samsung Note 8 with case.
The weight is also subjective. I've carried the Hydrogen with no additional problems than when I carried a Note 8.
Price is the only real arguable issue. That is now resolved with Red having the aluminum & titanium for $399 & $649, respectively.
You are crazy not to purchase one, now that the price issue is resolved.
Some people just have to hate it to justify getting the next, newer, shiny phone. Those people will never be satisfied with any phone.
Another well done and excellent review, hitting all the points that are important for people who would want to buy it. ❤
Finally found my favourite tech reviewer been looking all over youtube
The caption made me click, great job as always!
Even though when I saw your first review you did sound a bit arrogant to me, I have to say you really are one of the best, if not the best, reviewer on youtube. You know your job, you know how to do it. Hats off to you mate
A company that specialises in cameras doesn't even use their own camera in their first phone...
You do know the sensors they make are like 5 in long vs 1/2.5 in for a normal smartphone camera
pro-X-gamer I own a RED camera and the sensor size isn’t even 2 inches long. Regardless of size, RED would never put the same sensor they use for film cameras into a phone. It’s mind boggling that RED didn’t manufacture their own cameras for their own phone.
@@c8vegas they will. Most Likely in a $5k mod
@@pro-x-gamer4133 The mods are going to be insanely expensive i think.
@@pro-x-gamer4133 Medium format is only 35mm long. I think only NASA makes sensors that big for satellites.
A side note. You have a great sounding voice. Good review.
I really like you found some good things about this phone! It has its drawbacks but you didn't just crap on it like all the other reviews.
The Cinema module will use it's own processor, as Jim put it, the 835 does not have the horsepower to make .R3D files, and that will be done on the module. So don't worry about that 835! :)
Love your videos!!! Keep up the great work!
Brilliant review. The world needs more transparancy like this
Genuinely great video.
There is a huge possibility RED may offload the workload on a much faster secondary CPU within the cinema module itself. Where the Hydrogen will mostly be relegated to just saving files. IF we see this module... Saving grace, the module should have been released day 1.
Honestly, I'd wait for RED to do something for cameras, namely make something that isn't gonna cost an entire car just to get the main module without any add-ons or lenses factored into the price.
That being said, I'm VERY tempted to pick this up despite already having an S9 I tend to use for video, paired with a Smooth 4 to boot. Just my shallow "be that guy with something that really stands out" inner child coming out.
Always fun, standing out.
I can recommend it and don't forget the modules. ;-)
Great review, thanks.
Much much better review than any other review from other big time reviewers out there. Leaps and bounds better.
It was nice to see that you mentioned the man on the bus :)
Even if I had the money for this thing, I don't think I could justify getting it. It really feels like a camera with a phone slapped on, rather than a phone/camera hybrid, and that's why the price is so high. I could get a nice DSLR for less outright and deal with less hassle when taking pictures.
More like a meh camera running Android
You could actually get a good DSLR of any kind with a kit lens and buy another better lens and still spend less than the $1300-1500 you'd be spending on the Hydrogen One.
@@GabrielIgnacio yep, or buy an entry level $500 Canon or Nikon with a 50mm 1.8 at around $100 and have a much better package for less than half the price.
I'm back on my v40. I'm happy, the cameras are better than before
Good review Michael Givin your own personal 'Hydrogen a chance for this device!
Please revisit the Red Hydrogen in 2023. I think it got way more criticism than it deserved. It was actually awesome and did far more right than reviewers complained about. Everything that was called a gimmick was actually incredibly useful and unique. I love this phone. I think it is one of the most unique devices ever released. And it is built like a tank. Even next to my iPhone 14 Pro, I still prefer its 3D display. And yes it does work as a monitor on Red Cine Cameras. The 3D screen and 3d video recording is better than any other phone.
Thanks RED including a hardware camera key!
I can trust your videos being honest !
You know I really believe you're the first reviewer to actually try to give the public a visual idea of that holographic feature, and that says a lot about how you view your viewers, thanks.
Definitely one of the best reviews I've seen of the RH1. You and MKBHD. I actually love the H4V content more than most but agreed on a number of the faults with the phone itself. That said, I'm pretty convinced RED should do pretty well to support the device. They constantly post to h4vuser.net with the latest bits of updates and news. They just laid out the next software updates for Nov and December. The phone by itself is pretty blah. The modules, support and ecosystem they're working to craft around it and future iterations are what sell me more than the device itself.
Those modules never did come😬😬
I love MrMobile reviews. Literally the best there is.
I wish they had just stuck to a phone camera with red "color science" and crazier camera hardware (Like idk, 5 cameras or a micro 4/3) rather than fluff it up with 4V that we all know died since the HTC evo 3D and nintendo 3DS. Red is the only company that can justify reviving the Galaxy Zoom craziness.
Absolutely LOVE your videography of "middle" America Michael - more please! Oh, er, back to the Red phone, begs the question "Won't there be a Hydrogen 2 by next year?" Putting all your falldowns right (they listen to you!) and bringing the specs up in line with SD850? (Yeah, AND increased price) ☹
Damn!! Buddy you're super underrated.
Gotta say, I'd LOVE to rock the Hydrogen One just for the looks.
Mikey!!! Sigh ..man oh man was I in love with the hardware when I saw the titanium color in at&t....but then I got dizzy looking at the screen. I'm going to buy this 3 years from now when it drops to $300 for my phone collection!
Yep promised and failed 5:45
I bought mine used with a dead motherboard. 1 motherboard replacement and some double sided tape later and I got to use it for the first time, it was a really cool experience. Sadly the modules may not come out. But that wont stop me from using the phone in general.
This channel deserves a million subscribers. I'm actually surprised it doesn't.
Man that pixel case is just dope! 😍
Atleast ur not hating on the phone, unlike other youtubers
Best UA-cam Reviewer, and killer catch phrase
pleasantly surprised to see that thrifter has a UK deals page
And the promised modules never even came
Best review channel ever... i really appreciate the fact that your reviews focus on the market of the smartphone and not only the Smartphone
4D looks live a ViewMaster that 80's & 90's kids will remember!
you are the one and only who spoke mostly positive and it makes sense...
Finally a review that doesn't tread on the same lines as all the others. Different.Unique.Great Narration !
I'd like this 100 times if I could. Good job man.
I love this phone it goes beautifully with my Lenovo X1 and I can't wait for the attachments, the phone reminds me of the Motorola play z
I'm here to see your video, because I heard your unmistakable voice in the last video of mkbhd and the other guy mrs hose the boss
Loving the Greenport Long Island pics
So THIS is the 1DS they were talking about.
Aweosme video love the animations transitions and effects
The camera sensor is actually made by Sony, because apparently the engineers at RED failed to meet every single deadline to produce their own sensors scaled down for a smartphone, so they went with a Sony sensor instead. I think they did make the camera lens and shutter in-house though.
I own a RED camera not only because I like their approach and vision, but 'cause I shoot music festivals, and in most cases, we shoot on RED cameras, so the workflow relies on RED. But you know what intrigues me the most? Recently, a few peeps I know bought a HYDROGEN because they have a RED camera, so why not, right? They were all iPhone users, one of 'em ever since the first came out back in 2007... He said: "Never thought Android is so cool, I'll never go back to an iPhone! And HYDROGEN is the perfect phone for me, better that my old iPhone in every way." He had an iPhone X... I wonder what does those dudes will say if you hand 'em a Pixel 3 to play for a few days? "Meh, I don't like the ecosystem." Now this intrigues me, the level of brand attachment people need to have in order to act "unconciously". If it wasn't RED, those peeps would never have considered buying an Android device. DONE.
Finally a phone that isn't some stupid copy of an iPhone X.... and it's actually good! Hardware camera button, 16:9 display, front firing speakers, headphone jack, more hrdware components.
The modules are also why I want the RED. I think I will still be on the fence until the 2nd gen, if it comes out.
Facts combined with user experience opinion ... One of the best tech tubers out there.
The HTC EVO 3D couldn't grab the masses and this one won't either. I appreciate the ambition though. Any newcomers are welcome in the tech space because it pushes innovation. Great video!
Great video
