Η NET can be considered an authority on high-end cameras, but as she admits, she still has no idea what she is doing in terms of her first step in the smartphone market. Be careful, we are not talking about the technical part of the very ambitious Hydrogen One, but for all the accessories related to the mass production of a smartphone.
After several delays in its release, RED had concluded that it would be able to make the first shipments of the "simple" version of the Hydrogen One made of aluminum in early October, while pledging that the most premium version of titanium will be available from early November.
Eventually, the company will not be able to meet this schedule either, but decided to "sweeten the pain" of those who have paid $ 1595 for the titanium edition of Hydrogen One in a great way: it will give everyone the aluminum version (worth $ 1295) completely free , which they will be able to keep even after receiving the one they ordered!
The new delay is due to production problems, because it is extremely difficult to make titanium. RED CEO Jim Jannard told the RED forum that despite the manufacturers' promises that they would be able to produce enough devices to meet demand from pre-orders, they finally "hung" him.
"I can not go myself and start making the devices, but if I could I would. All I can do on my part right now is be fair… as if I were the client. We will ship to anyone who has pre-ordered the titanium version of an aluminum version completely free of charge when we begin shipping. In addition, when we finally manage to make the titanium version we will send it too, and you will be able to keep the aluminum"
Note that the aluminum version differs from the titanium only in the material used for its construction and not in any technical feature or capabilities.
The RED Hydrogen One is expected with a 5.7 ”QHD screen (2560 x 1440) 4-view, 64bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, Adreno 540 GPU graphics processor, dualSIM, microSD socket, USB Type-C socket, 3.5mm headphone socket and 4500mAh battery.
