While we’re not huge fans of seeing a Snapdragon 835 processor launch on a $1200+ phone in late 2018, there’s not much RED can do about it at this point.

No word from RED as to when buyers can expect Android 9 Pie.

The Aluminum model comes with 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, dual rear-facing 12-megapixel cameras, dual front-facing 8-megapixel cameras, 5.7” 3D WQHD LTPS-TFT display (2560 x 1440) with Gorilla Glass 3, expandable storage up to 256GB, 4,500mAh battery, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, fingerprint reader in the power button on the side, and Android 8.1 Oreo at launch. But again, none of that is ready for the phone’s launch and RED says modules can be expected in 2019.īesides shipping with a Snapdragon 835 processor, the specs on Hydrogen One are good. Things like a camera module, power pack, and expandable storage have been discussed. Being RED, though, we assume the modules will be focused on the camera, and a few details about potential modules have already been disclosed by RED. At this time, there aren’t any modules you can buy for the phone, but the idea of it being a modular phone helps you think that RED has plans for the device in terms of future proofing. On the bottom of the backside you’ll find the POGO pins for modularity. I don’t expect to see any other OEMs adopt this grip design, but for a phone designed to take lots of pictures in all sorts of environments, I think it’s cool. Because the phone is heavy, the grips do allow you to get a better hold the device when in one hand or holding it in landscape to take photos and video.

While the grips do make this phone look very different, they actually work very well and I’d argue that they’re quite ergonomic. To compare the hardware, it’s very similar to Razer Phone for size, but then add the rubber side grips and all of the stuff going on with the backside and you have a thicker, taller device. While it’s large and somewhat hard to manage with one hand, it’s exactly what RED promised, and if that doesn’t bug you, you’ll be delighted with the results. By no means does this phone look or feel fragile when in hand. It has the rubber grips and metal frame combined to make this super industrial looking smartphone that feels like a tank. This hardware matches exactly what RED showcased last year when they announced the device. With all of that said, let’s go ahead and get into it.

Considering the software performance and optimization issues I experienced, as well as a camera experience that is currently beyond lacking at a price of $1,200+, this phone is one of those devices that was very difficult to use for a full week.

When clarifying this statement with AT&T, since we have an AT&T unit, they were under the impression that the phone we have is exactly what will be sent out to buyers in terms of hardware/specs, though, software could change a little. Upon receiving our Hydrogen One unit, we were told by RED that it was a pre-launch prototype. This review will not be as full and detailed as our other reviews. Now, before I dive straight into this review, allow me to be completely transparent and honest. Not only is RED releasing an unlocked model, but they even convinced Verizon and AT&T to sell the phone, so if anyone is a winner here, it’s RED. Did the company run into a few issues and delays, as we assumed they would? Yes, but considering this phone is the RED’s first attempt to launch a smartphone, I’d say being delayed from an expected Q1 launch to a late-2018 release isn’t the worst thing ever. We’ve made it, folks, launch of RED’s Hydrogen One! Announced in July, 2017, there were plenty of people who didn’t expect this phone to come to fruition, but as I said at time of announcement, RED seemed like a company that could get it done.
