Processor: Snapdragon 835x

Yes, you're not seeing things — a Snapdragon 835x. That processor, as you may know, doesn't abide absolutely yet. Qualcomm's 835 was a admired for aftermost year's flagships, and the Galaxy S9 will reportedly get a Snapdragon 845.

Display: 1440p, 4V Approach (Holographic)

Man, this display! According to a blog column on January 22, the Hydrogen One will be able to about-face amid two affectation modes. The aboriginal is the 1440p "2D mode," which is the aforementioned as a accustomed phone, with "fantastic blush and brightness," according to RED.

Multi-Component Modular System

We've apparent or heard of modular phones from the brand of Motorola and Google, but RED is demography addition able at it. Using their "pogo pin system" that provides ability and data, RED is assured that they can redefine the stigmas surrounding modular devices.

Additionally, the modules will be "stackable," so the already-teased array bore and cinema-grade camera bore will be able to alive in harmony.

Dual SIM/Micro SD Slot

Also of agenda (from the January 22 post) is that the additional SIM aperture doubles as a micro SD slot. So basically, you can accept two SIM cards in countries area that's a accustomed practice, or you can use one SIM and ample the added aperture with added storage.

Pricing & Availability

In the blog column on January 22, RED appear that the Hydrogen One would accept an official address date of "sometime in the summer," due to the bulk of time it takes for carriers to accredit the phone for launch. This additionally agency that apart pre-orders will "ship afore that."

In the antecedent announcement, RED said that the Hydrogen One would amount $1,195 for the aluminum model, and $1,595 for the Titanium — you can absolutely pre-order them now. It's odd that they were up advanced about their appraisement afore absolution any specs about the phone, and alike added odd that they accustomed pre-orders afore affliction annihilation other than the display. Perhaps strangest of all is that droves of bodies still pre-ordered this alien article after abundant added advice than the RED name.
