The Hydrogen One is defined by its ambition. It’s meant to revolutionize not just phones, but all of media with a “holographic” display and a camera system capable of recording into this 3D format. The phone is also expandable, and RED plans to release an add-on camera sensor that’s capable of transforming the phone into a full-on cinema camera.
