If ever there was a phone that could have revolutionized the smartphone business in the post-iPhone era, it’s the Hydrogen One. Made by high-tech camera company RED, the Hydrogen One turned out to be a huge disappointment. It was a niche phone that targeted a specific group of people: buyers who wouldn’t mind paying a …
When RED founder James Jannard spoke about the Hydrogen One smartphone at a recent event, he just about managed to convince me that the device made sense. After all, this is the same guy who took on Ray-Ban and won. The same guy who made a camera that has been used to film massive blockbusters …
One of the most anticipated phones of the year, if only for its sheer audacity, is RED’s Hydrogen One Android phone with a holographic display. We’ve written about the phone at length in recent months as RED has continually shifted its release around the calendar, but with the phone’s launch day finally set in stone, …
The past 12 months haven’t been particularly exciting in the world of smartphones. Sure, “the notch” has become a standard feature on most devices, but with the excitement of all-screen devices fading quickly, this year’s phones have been all about refinement.

The Galaxy Note 9 and Pixel 3 are going to be two of the hottest Android handsets in the second half of the year, but there’s an even more exciting device in the works and we finally know when it will launch. If all goes according to plan, that is. After reports detailed a delay …
Over the course of the last year, we’ve been quietly anticipating a new smartphone that might shake up the market in a way that Apple and Samsung have failed to in recent years. That’s not to say that the iPhone X was boring, or that the Galaxy S9 didn’t improve upon the S8 in several …
2018 is shaping up to be a boring year for smartphones, no matter which way you look at it. We’re past the excitement — if you can even call it that — of the all-screen displays that debuted last year, and this year’s phone designs have been all about refining the notch. Sure, there’s interesting …
