RED Hydrogen One review: a $1,300 mess of a phone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- RED's Hydrogen One smartphone has been hyped for over a year. It has a "holographic" display and captures 3D photos and videos. It also has an expansion port meant to be attached to a cinema-grade sensor and other RED equipment. So does it live up? Not quite. Here's what it's really like to use RED's first phone.

What do you think a RED phone should’ve looked like?
I would expect much better quality for $1,300 .
Did Stefan use the "race card" against you? Then why is he not fired
RED has great camera tech and they should develop a custom big sensor that can fit in a phone with all the regular flagship specs, and not these gimmicks. Basically, just put the best camera in a phone and it will sell well.
The Verge literally anything other than HAL 9000
Um ... red(in color)? Just kidding! but seriously a phone meant for professional photography that could stand against the likes of the Pixel would have been great.
A smartphone by RED but it comes with a samsung or sony camera sensor.
Really RED?
Well yeah, they want you to buy their still nonexistent RED mod that uses an actual RED image sensor.
And knowing who we're dealing with, it's gonna likely cost more than the phone itself ;)
@@GabrielIgnacio Red specific memory cards for your red specific camera. Each costs more than the camera.
Gabriel Ignacio lol
too cheap to have a red sensor
d'oh they don't produce such small sensors afaik.
All RED had to do was make the best smartphone camera in the world and attach it to a flagship phone.
@@totoze1956 it's easier then making a holographic screen maybe....
@@totoze1956 the point is not how hard it is, it's about selling phones, and experimenting on your first phone is a bad idea.
Just get pentax Ricoh to make a phone. Their gxr is due for resurrection. Maybe a phone as the brain and screen and a lens sensor hand grip combo with mic input and hotshoe and dials.
who has the best smartphone camera now? computational photography reigns supreme in this product segment, not nikon, red, kodak, sony etc.
@@achraftahir They should have made the best smartphone camera & a unique processing chip or something. at least they could have sold their camera tech to other smartphone companies when their own phone fails.
Damn the UI looks like it's using ice cream sandwich. Lol
TBH, I for once much prefer the old Android UI from 2011-2014. The "clean" look of contemporary Android is way too clean to my taste. Maybe I'm not the only one, but I don't really like the minimalistic approach to UI designs these days.
I like to have a bit of clutter on my screen just so I won't have to dig deeper and deeper into menus and sub-menus just to be able to configure some basic feature on or off.
Still looked like that for 4 versions after ICS. 🙄
It is....
@@carstuff4u942 Hello in 2024
so, basically, RED have made a phone that does everything 3DS does, but worse, for $1300
Exactly. Except, of course, for good games to play on it. And everything else.
Does it have eye tracking like the 3DS has?
Random guy at Red two years ago:
1: Hey guys, what do you think about this Idea: we make... a smartphone
2: I’m not so sure about that Bob... everyone and their uncle has made a phone already
1: Yeah but this one is gonna be different! It’s gonna have one of those 3D displays
2: You mean like the Nintendo 3DS? That feature that no one really uses?
1: Yeah but listen, it will have grips
2: Grips?
1: Yeah, like grooves for your fingers, so you don’t drop it
2: I’m not so sure about this idea Bob, maybe we should stick to making cameras?
3: *Randy, you know that Bob is the CEO’s son right?*
Two years later: today
😂😂😂😂😂 Good ol Bobby😂😂😂😂
And don’t forget Randy got fired too
Pretty much.... lol
Abasi Akan I mean literally thrown out the window like in the meme 😂😂
I actually really like the New 3DS 3D screen.
Red phone without a red sensor? I'm very confused as to the point of this phone given the exclusive nature of the content
Alec Houston yes of Corse
It always comes back to HTC having done it years ago.
LG Optimus 3D had same features too.
Htc and Lg do it first, Samsung Perfects it
Ivan Ooze it's very very different. Much much better than this review makes it sound
@@YuriLM Yes!
whats the htc phone name?
It doesn’t use RED color science or a RED sensor? So what exactly is “RED” about this phone? 🤔
The price???
This phone is a joke. Red should have focused on making the best smartphone camera, seeing as photography is what they're famous for and what anyone familiar with their brand would assume the phone was made for.
They are famous for videography
Canon and Sony are for photography
They should have put a iPhone and Samsung killer on the table. And upgrading components during the 1.5 year delay. And not hit stuck in time . . .
Marques will be angry 😡
He didn't like it much either
Honestly he is kinda biased, He Hyped this phone so much in the pass but total trashed the Huawei mate 20 pro
@@dimasgrey
Maybe he isn't over hyping but rather just believes it to be that good and is still worth it even with it's problems.
I mean common, His Shots are some of the best I've seen in UA-cam and it's always been consistently good. So, I am gonna believe him.
@@StefanModeste right?! he love overhyping thing, even his red camera which everyone know has a dozen problem he still overhyping it
@@Amor_fati.Memento_Mori have you ever heard arri alexa? that every oscar winner use and has the same price but more reliable? john from tld use it 😐 i mean you can love the results without lying to your viewers. take linus from ltt for example, he use red camera, he love the image that it produce, but he also listed every problem that he got using that camera. marques? none, he talk like that camera running as smooth as butter without problem, and if i'm not mistaken in english that's called bias
Finally a review from a popular source who isn't getting discounts on their equipment.
check out flossy carter if you like that kinda thing
Check out MKBHD's review, it's a lot more in depth

Oh my gosh all those preorders must be cancelled now.
I got my pre-ordered fan today, it's actually really nice even though it's a bit too cold outside to use it. Definitely didn't die.
Now waiting for lawsuit news for not meeting up with the expectations and not living up to its hype 😂
@@burainavarro That's not how lawsuits work but, yeah.
A camera company makes a phone with a subpar camera and focuses on the screen. Talk about playing for your strengths. At least a DSLR sensor which you can fit lenses would’ve been better than a gimmicky screen.
3D screens died on phones and on TV's, no one does it for a reason.
The camera is just a shame.
They are doing that.. the 2D cinema module.
It's going to be a module that attaches to the back of the phone and turn it into a 'mini RED camera', and slap full size camera lenses on it. They haven't announced full specs yet, but so far they have said this:
• 5k+ resolution new RED sensor
• Will shoot in .R3D REDCODE RAW format around 9:1 compression (same compressed RAW format as the big boy RED cams. This alone is HUGE.)
• Interchangeable electronic lens mounts that can support "damn near every lens ever made."
• Jim Jannard has stated that it will be a "mirrorless camera killer". Aka, Sony A7S II, A7III, etc.
• Specs of the Blackmagic Pocket 4k Cinema Camera didn't make Jim blink an eye, so expect at LEAST those same specs, but definitely better is to be expected.
• Jim has said this: " I can't tell you the exact specs right now. But I will tell you it's worthy of projection on a 60-foot screen."
• Release early 2019.
@@wreck2 When?? As much as I would like to see that, all these delays point into the wrong direction
Sony has always been the king of smartphone camera sensors. It is way easier for RED to use a Sony sensor rather than spending millions on developing a brand new one.
@@SandeepSinghMango The phone delays have been due to not passing FCC certification at first, so they had to retool a part at the plant, get recertified, and then had supplier/ODM issues not delivering on their promises. The module has been in development this whole time, and is on schedule. Another thing that I like about RED is that they have been very transparent about all of this, keeping their pre-order customers informed, (On h4vuser.net) You wouldn't see this kind of transparency with a public company.
Too little too late. I bet Red's CEOs are getting a bit red in the face at everyone's reactions lol
N: Jim Jannard has too much of an ego to admit he was wrong. It's just the rest of the world
who's wrong.
Jim just cancelled the expansion packs and still wont admit it. Its not happening the phones being abandon. Im heart broken.
@@davey3765 heart broken because of their greed? Lmao ok
Props for mentioning the EVO 3D! Not many younger people even know about it. I have one in a drawer. I love it's construction and small form factor.
Thank you so much for doing this review of the Red Hydrogen. There seemed to be a lot of hush hush over the phone and display that it seemed too good to be true to begin with. Seems like a great idea but how it was executed is just plain sketchy. Keep up the great coverage Verge!!!
Agreed! Good stuff here! Would it be possible to translate the marketing/branding lingo in the future for what it technically/scientifically actually is? So here "Autostereoscopy"?! I always feel like this helps people to follow through on their own research without being tied into a companies unique vocabulary which only "works" for their products.
Autostereoscopy (noun) - If you choke the phone hard enough, the colors get brilliant and you start seeing in 3D.
See GrasshopperPhone.
This is why you don’t pre-order things ...
Josh L unless it’s red dead
Waiting for redemption
and stuck in the same old evolution cycle.
That’s evolution - have fun with the new iPhone (or Samsung)
totally fine.
Progress is only seen from risk takers.
This is why you should always stick to Apple and not some unknown brand or some laggy after 2 years usage on android.
Hyde Mr wow that was deep some real wOkE stuff my guy and I will do that I love my Xs
Was adding a larger sensor too much to ask? On a phone that is already extremely bulky? I'm not expecting a full frame sensor on this, but a slightly bigger one than the usual smartphone would've been miles better. You can always go back and improve it with software. Add a 2 stage shutter button and I would've been sold.
Exactly!
Sensor can’t get a whole lot larger before you need a much more noticeable mass sticking out the back of the phone.
And then combine developing something new for a device which is already expensive and being marketed to a niche market...
@@jamespeirce2582 I understand all that, but when you are asking for $1,300+, that's what I expect. Nokia did it and although their software sucked, it was at least very good. And it didn't cost over $800.
Eduardo Quintero Well, I agree. There’s technically room to focus more on photography/video hardware with more internal space in a device, a thicker device, a larger bulge to make room for sensor and optics (even if, in practice, not just any company will be able to approach heavily customized hardware needs for a niche device).
They seemed to aim for at least some of this goal with the dual cameras and what not, and I suppose to be fair what they’ve said about software versions may apply to this scenario.
Either way, it’s not going to make a very large difference compared to professional gear, and most of the ground made up with these smaller sensors is going to come in value produced by software and through computational photography.
The device seems like quite a miss to me, though, based on what I’ve learned of it so far. The special video modes and screens are pretty much just gimmicks for most purposes given the lack of compatibility outside the small ecosystem. What they really needed to deliver on is making great headway in video production and quality.
Especially at that high price point. It could certainly be worth it for users if they succeeded, but seems like a hard sell given all the other trade offs if they haven’t differentiated themselves very significantly in this department.
Why is he talking like everything is a question?
Probably because of his incorrect inflections.
Hahhaha
many hoes from the west(mostly US) do that
It's called Up-talk and is used a lot in the tech world
i wish flossy carter would do a review on this and not this wee lad
Nah, feels like it's half baked product or even not baked lol.
raw
Shits more raw than cookie dough
Well the idea was stupid to begin with.
To me it sounds like the idea was a phone that was capable of both producing and consuming incredibly high-fidelity 3D content, which would indeed be revolutionary for consumers but especially for creators... we didn't get that.
@@xerzy It wouldnt be "revolutionary" for creators because literally no one could benefit from the content.
How many people watching this video have a 3D monitor? 10? 20? No one?
@@Sundara229 You don't need to share immediately after buying the phone in the same quality. Just to have a way to record and display what you're doing, and then wait for the technology to become mainstream and downgrade the quality in the meantime.
Anyway, it's not like they succeeded lol
espectalll Why are you defending this stupid phone. Whyyyyy? Wtf
@@marvistv6551 I said "we didn't get that" and "it's not like it succeeded", in which way am I defending this phone? I'm just saying that the idea wasn't doomed from the start and what I think was its purpose.
Don't ever take this kind of stuff too personally lol
Thank You!! I was also expecting it to have an actual futuristic “hologram” display like you were talkinng about stuff popping out, like microsoft hololens
Good to know. I hope they can improve on this technology.
Guess who got the review faster than marques
Mkbhd already made a video about the beta
@@vickie_g I have cleary written "review" not "impressions" or "hands on"
Srivihar Reddy this is a “REVIEW” not impressions.
Some people love to create drama...🤫
@@calvingreen7197 dude go and watch his video ...he said i will come up with the review in a week... Its been 2 months
i'm laughing because this phone is horrible, and people work hard on this... it was just a bad idea at the beginning, nobody had the courage to say "stop"... must hurt being thoses guys who watch this :')
At the end of the day, most employees working on this project would of ended up getting paid a shitload.
@penile 1 they ruined their reputation in the mobile market before they even released the phone. RIP
Maybe. But they can always redesign and course correct. It’s not the end of the world.
@@laurants :) But no one will trust them anymore similar to that shepperd boy shouting:"Wolves, wolves!".
People: wouldn’t be cool to have a RED sensor on a phone?
RED: look, we put the 3ds display on our phone
I wanted to pre-order this phone, but missed out. I even volunteered to help test it (I was USAF Cyber Ops). Spoke to Red's customer service on their site and on Instagram. I really wanted it because it was different from everything else on the market. Do you think software upgrades will improve the experience? I do agree.. They weren't ready and pushed the phone back too much. I think running a Snapdragon 835 will hurt the longevity of the phone. Thanks for sharing what others were afraid to and thanks for doing an honest review on the phone. The carriers still know little to nothing about this phone and it is set to release 2 November 2018.
MKBHD will be angry.
Harry Khan he'll probably say it's a great phone anyway
Yeah, I'm guessing he'll like it.
I used to like his content, but that guy is so biased af now
@@raggedyexynos6826 mkbhd has many major sponsors,if he gave a negative review he will loose it all. That is why I'm unsubscribed to his channel.
MKBHD is officially a salesman these days ... reviewer ? Naaah
In the early days of Android there have been 3D smartphones. LG and HTC made one with a 3D Screen and 3D Camera.
They failed for a reason ^^
They failed because it's a meme to hate on 3D. Nothing more, nothing less. 3D is a huge leap in picture quality on the same level as the introduction of colour and people don't appreciate it.
I remember the LG one... And it was really stupid... That's why they didn't want to show the screen... But what surprises me the most is that none of the people the phone was showed off mentioned it... Why? Was it a different screen? Or a NDA?
Anyway, this is bad... Really really bad...
I had one lol
@@youpa so it is cool or not
I recently bought htc evo 3d used just to shoot 3d video of my son, I've uploaded a few on my channel and it's awesome. I have 7 year old video recorded with the original HTC 3d I had in 2011 and it's amazing on a real 3d TV.
That lunchbox reference just explained it so precisely.
Hopefully red doesn’t burn too bad from this, and they try again in a few years. With a red sensor, and beefed enough specs for real color and raw photo editing, this will be a very amazing niche phone for a lot of creative people. Give it time, this was there first try and it actually shipped which alone is a miracle
You can get a BMPCC 4k for 1300 USD. I would rather get that.
Well... eventually it will be released wide.
Thank you for finally explaining and being honest. Subscribed.
Glad I seen this and other reviews about it thought about getting it until then
All of sudden prices for the new iPhones seem less ridiculous
wujiyudi ew I know soon all phones will be over $1000
@@jasper24601 there is always Xiaomi which will keep releasing phones with resonable prices.
*MKBHD laughing in confusion from far away*
Pretty sure !
have the Hydrogen One since 2 weeks and it is a great experience to shoot and watch the "3D" content
The fact that you could even compare this to the Evo 3D tells me everything I need to know....I had the Evo 3D and it wasn't long before I ditched the whole 3D thing and installed a Custom ROM that made the phone work SO much better.....even though the phone wasn't very stable (at least mine wasn't)
Seems like a bad LG Optimus 3D ; )
Nintendo did this years ago with 3DS and these dudes spent an year messing it up ! WOW
Also, Nintendo got it right, and improved it further with the New 3DS. How could these guys get it wrong?
Thank you for this review. It's harsh, but it gives good points to work on.
Thanks for your honesty
Dodgy Phone but Great Video !!
Dodgy - is the word. They messed it up.
That's Disappointing from RED ! Great Video Guys !
Much better than your content... Unbiased and real reviews which are lacking in your channel
@@rezaramx07, well said
Well, yes and no. Red isnt as good of a manufacturer as they are hyped up to be. Cool stuff for slightly less money than other brands, sure but having your gear work when on set is 200x more important compared to a slightly lower rental cost or lack of gimmicky features.
The best hd quality phone ever in photos
Looks like no other phone in the world ..
Me: "flips his Huawei mate 20 pro"
Its a htc evo 3d after .....idk like 6 or 7 years and worse
Wow, You guys are extremely early this time 😂😂😂
Thank you for this video!
I thought the pins on the back used so you can use the red phone with a red camera as a viewing device. considering how expensive red add-ons for there camera are i think that's the only way to justify this phone
this phone kinda reminds me the AMAZON phone.. 🤔
Lol that was so terrible
What is an Amazon Phone?
@@Neojhun fire phone had these sensors so when you turned the screen it followed your face and moved everything on the screen
That’s exactly the first thing that came to mind and that phone was pure trash.
@@Neojhun try find it on youtube
nothing new. HTC EVO 3D
I actually liked that phone. Was very different.
Nice review dude
Probably the best phone i've ever owned! If you a film maker, this is a great tool. It's hard to drop the phone no matter how your're holding it cause of the side grips. Don't know how he is using the phone but the clarity is amazing... Now if you paid 1k for a iphone, then you'll feel stupid when you realize how it doesn't come close to standing up to this phone... You just have to know what your doing.
The LG Optimus 3D also did this kind of gimmick and look where it got. Can you still remember it? 😂
Yes I do , some Guy name Joshua Caalim mentioned it UA-cam video comment section. ;)
I had the HTC EVO 3D, and it worked decently.
Nickolas Smith how was the camera though? I remembered that it had a dual lens camera like the Optimus 3D and one can shoot in 3D.
joshua caalim It was a dual lens 3d cam. I have a ton of videos of my kids in 3d that I can now watch in my Rift. The screen was almost identical to the 3DS.
Nickolas Smith that would be nice if 3D tvs were still a thing today hahaha
RIP
I had the HTC Evo 3D when I was 13 :D Was mega hyped back then :)
So glad someone brought up the HTC Evo 3D!! I felt like it was the same level of technology from that and the same level of "no one will ever use that"
And y'all mad because the xr doesn't have a 1080p or 2k display. 1300 for that hell no.
The modularity comes from Motorola with the Z line
Had to go find my old hannah montana 3D dvd to find the 4 red blue visors that came with it. Funny to finally use them again.
rubberized sides are a nice idea👏
Fire phone all over again...
so the other tech youtuber has been lying and overhyping this garbage? hmmm 🤔
As usual
They may not know about it too.
All they thought it would be the best camera smartphone, not like this.
@@sleplow i'm talking about the youtuber who get an hands on but still overhyping this garbage. take mkbhd for example, who we all know love overhyping thing. he even overhype his red camera which everyone know has a dozen problem he still lying and overhyping it 😐
The dubbing at 6:44 is so weird that I stopped the video to check I wasn't hallucinating.
I do love the side grips.
A RED employee has made the following comment:
"The reviews happened on devices with Software that is equivalent to the very early Houdini Software from beginning September. We have done quite a journey since then."
"We have contacted the reviewers and explained the situation. Some of them were professional enough and contacted us when they realized that they had an old software on their device. Others were looking for clicks…"
The 4V did not look that great in early September (ghosting and kind of blurry looking)... It looks WAY better now, after about 3 updates, all with feedback for each, and they are still refining (new beta came out last week for Houdini. The ghosting is gone, and is way sharper now). Shame they pushed these reviews out with that early of software, so they pretty much reviewed a 'dev kit', and not a retail device.
Shouldn't come out with a $1300 phone that isn't ready for primetime.
wowwwwww way to squander their brand HARDCORE. they had ONE JOB, make a red camera in a phone, and they didn't and instead made a gimicky 3D phone screen? wow, utter fail RED, why? who thought this was possibly a good idea???
0:53
Even The Verge has MKBHD's review as the next playing video!
Hello. If you have a moment could you let me know please. Can the phone take images at 300 DPI ? Regards Rob
Why did you compare photos to the Pixel 2, not 3?
to save the red phone some more shame .(not that it did anything better though, even pixel 2 was better)
Doesn't matter. Even a pocofone can run rings around this
I personally think its because the red phone has the specs of a phone from last year and is still trash
Red is the new Apple.
In steroids.
Skipping leg days.
Living in a basement.
Only drink mountain dew.
And eat taco with fork.
and collect sword
Who is not the new apple? A lot are following suit to remove useful headphone jacks and sealing in batteries.
Some coming out with their own expensive accessories like pixel stand and blocking other fast wireless charging. Also suddenly bullets wireless are a terrific deal, because you know no more headphone jack. Or suddenly bullets usbc is kinda cool. Wait have you heard of Huawei making their own memory card?
I thought Apple went out of business.
Sorry comments about 5 years too early
@@arkhamb Yeah like 100 years early
Ayush B lol sour grapes about Apple. 🙄
so its like the cinema 3d glasses depth stuff?
No it's worse, if you've seen a 3ds screen it's like that but more blurry and doesn't have face tracking like the new 3ds so terrible in every way.
5:29 I dropped it and injured somebody😂I'm crackin up
Biggest disappointment if 2018?
Pixel 3 or Red Hydrogen One?
This was way worse than last year essential. Big hype. Soft delivery. Discount discount discount. Discontinued.
Pixel 3 is fine. Pixel 3 XL was the let down. As far as Red , nobody was really waiting for it. It's like an experiment.
magic leap
Or next bit robin.
Red are you kidding?
Just a gimmick phone eh ? What a cliché
Atari also made a handheld holographic device some decades back I think. Was it called the Lynx or something?
Would this be a good phone for editing pics shot on a different camera?
Will be interesting to see MKBHD review on this since he is sponsored by Red
x 2 !
It looks like the phone is drunk
already done in the Takee One phone
it was out in 2014 and had the same kind of stereoscopic glasses-free screen.
Praying that if they make a successor, it's actually good.
Is it just me or this dude talks really slow. Watched it in 1.25 to make it feel normal. Okay Review video though.
Red should stick with their high end camera this is not their cup of tea.
How loud are the speakers? And how good is the audio playback through headphones?
haha I had the Evo 3D, good times. Probably even have some old 3d pictures on a hard drive somewhere
iPhone XS Max fully specked for basically same price
And probably the Xs have the horsepower that RED wanted to do.
It's like phone companies sit around and see who can make the worst phone lol.
So this is a 2018 Evo 3d?
Mine is on the way but I have a question for those already purchased it: its improving with software upgrades?
So I own the Hydrogen (#1455) and all I can say is that you guys must have been reviewing a dev model or didn't update anything...or just really wanted to hate this phone.
1) 4View is better seen in 16x9...you're wasting half the phone by viewing pictures vertically and the 3D effect is more compressed.
2) The processor although 'old' has been optimized for this phone. It's super fast and snappy..I almost can't keep up with it.
3) RED literally updates the OS almost every single day right now. First the speakers were a bit dodgy, now they're perfect. The 4V was a bit off...now it's WAY better...seriously it's so much fun to look at peoples creative attempts at it on Holopics. Boot time was long...now it's short. This is all within a week. If they keep this up it's just going to get better and better.
4) The cameras aren't just for 4V. The depth of field it creates in iris mode is nuts because the two cameras are so far apart. Almost passes as a full frame camera.
5) I'm on the second day of charge with this phone after using it for video/ photos and a lot of dicking around. I'm currently at 43% charge left.
The list goes on...but seriously give the phone a chance without going into it like 'ooo it crashed...terrible...0 stars'. This is a disrupter just like their cameras (which everyone hated in the beginning by saying 'who needs 4K'...now look at them).
On a more personal note. Here's something that came to mind while using it. I lost my dad in June and just thinking that I could have taken a 4V photo of him when he was alive...just to have him pop out of my screen whenever I wanted to see him as lifelike as possible makes me happy. I feel like that technology alone will help people hold on to memories of their loved ones or just people they miss in general. So RED, thanks for making such a technologically exciting yet personal piece of gear.
Ian Morris Do you work for RED or something? Nobody cares about the screen why the heck is a camera company not focusing on the camera? If RED would have made an awesome camera phone that blew away the competition everyone would be happy but no they focused on the screen and a gimmick at that. And who cares about the module when it’s going to cost probably more then the phone itself. You can get a specked out IPhone XS Max for $1300.
Lmao u mad bruh?
@@SuperChi11 Think you actually are perhaps better of with an iPhone. Finally than you run around with a Samsung screen and a Samsung camera dating back from the Galaxy S7. As Ian mentioned : who wanted / needed 4K back in the days ? Finally this is the first phone Red develops. How many models at Apple did we get from 1 to 11 now and all S models in between ? So let this RH1 develop in his ecosystem like the Red cameras did and became the best . . . in the world !
@@thatgamer1236 No one mad. Only we have each our opinion . . .
@@a-onefs4740 Hey Marc. It's definitely an exciting phone. Consider meeting up with someone in the area to try one out before you buy it. The "RED Hydrogen One Users" group is super active on Facebook and you'll get every question you have answered on there. Jim just announced on the group:
"I did say in the beginning that this isn’t an event but a long road. The latest updates are a significant improvement over where we were just 30 days ago. And the improvements keep coming. They aren’t just bug fixes, but at every turn improvements to color science and features. We are doing this for the 1st time… just like the RED ONE. In the past 12 years we have had roughly 18 color science updates. Every one better than the last. Expect the same here. Also expect the same with features. I am testing the new beta Camera App that has new frame rates and data rate options (up to 100mbps). There is RAW stills support. There is adjustable Bokeh support for 4V which softens disparity and gives a completely new (and awesome) look to 4-view files. The next month will see another round of color science. And this will continue over the life of the program.
Other companies will give you an update to bug fix. We will give continuous updates to bug fix, finish things we didn’t get done by launch, improve all aspects of image capture and add features as we can unlock them.
Our program is different in every way. Not just the scallops.
I hope you hang in there and enjoy the ride… but certainly understand whatever you decide."
hah, just like i thought, another GIMMICK!
I wonder if there will be an app to allow RED "4V" videos/photos to be shared in a 3DS compatible format? Also - how does its video/photo compare to that of a 3DS? I know the 3DS is massively low-resolution, both in cameras and screen, but how does the RED compare?
Too use the 3D feature, go to camera app on phone, turn the phone sideways so that the volume buttons are on the bottom, touch the 2D button ,and to take a picture you must use the little button on the top of the phone , which is actually to the right of the on off, button, in this position
And i forgot, you must go to the red player on your phone to view your picture
Let's call it a
Disaster .
Thought u were gonna make a clever pun lol disappointed
@@joshuathomas512 sorry for that . Have a nice day
When Apple fanboys think of Android, they see this phone in their minds
🤣🤣😂
Actually yes
No: Apple fanboys don't think about Android, because it doesn't exist.
No we think of the pixel horrible swipe gesture based pie OS. 🤣🤣🤣
@@seeleydargo not gonna lie I think the pixel 3 is ugly as hell too
Should have throw the phone to the camera in the end to achieve 3D effect lol
what about the sound, I demoed this phone back in March, with headphones and the surround sound was pretty amazing,
