It’s not their camera, believe it or not. Yikes. They likely went all in on trying to make the camera themselves but then waited till the last possible second to realize that they couldn’t get it done within a reasonable cost, so their backup plan of using a third-party camera sensor was so poorly planned given how much faith they had in themselves to make the sensor themselves that them switching to a Sony sensor was a rushed decision. Their Finance team likely convinced them that it was better for them to go ahead and release it to recoup some money to put towards its sequel instead of pumping endless dollars into polishing what was looking to take way longer than originally planned; and their Marketing team probably spoke up about how harmful to their image releasing it now would be, but Management probably told Marketing to just push the idea that the phone’s primary purpose isn’t as a stand-alone device but one with modules that it interfaces with. But the Management failure is that those modules aren’t ready yet, but they released the phone anyway, all because they were bleeding money trying to get their amazing sensor technology shrunk down to fit into a smartphone. This isn’t an excuse - it’s just an explanation of how things likely went down.
Arjun Aneja Because no matter how good the hardware is in a small camera module, it must be a thin and not as intrusive to be considered a smartphone. With that being said, the AI and software in the camera configuration must be up to par as well to accommodate for the relatively small camera module. RED doesn’t have to worry as much about software in their bigger cameras because software doesn’t really matter in big form factors and all that matters is hardware. For RED to compete in the smartphone camera competition, they must have to focus on software as well because that MATTERS a lot especially in a lot of these recent flagships released this year.
- One of the ugliest smartphones I’ve ever seen - HUGE bezels - Gimmicky, nauseating, pointless 3D effect display - Maximum brightness is a joke - Last year’s specs - Sub-par speakers - Camera quality from 2012 Then you consider the price... Yeah, seems like a good deal to me.
i hate the phone but tbh i love the design, it won't break and it looks kinda industrial to me and i love it. too bad the rest of the phone is so stupid.
I have the phone and can tell u how the screen differs from the 3DS etc. the traditional 3D screen can only display 2 images being left and right and only in landscape mode. The screen on the red hydrogen one displays 4 simultaneous images. This 4 view/hologram is also visible in portrait and landscape unlike the older tech you mentioned. It’s always a wow factor looking at the quality of photos it produces, the 3D effect is crazy good and the battery lasts on average 3-4 days from full charge. It’s an excellent phone. Absolutely no regrets.
Talk about a complete failure. They should have teamed up with LG to make a phone. Let red make the camera and the camera app and let LG make the rest of the phone.
@@bottlab950 Yeah... Unbox Therapy is often pretty behind the times on the products. For up to date phone reviews, MrWhosTheBoss is probably one of the best channels. For all other tech stuff, I'd go with LinusTechTips. Same thing - Literally a year sooner on reviews of new hardware.
So it’s a Nintendo 3ds type screen with exposed pin outs for expansion, that way when you have it in your pocket with your keys you can accidentally short out the phone via the exposed expansion pin outs! Sweet!
It's about unboxing things, and it's fine as long as products are hot and brand new. :) And we just want to know what's inside the box, that's how Unbox Therapy works.
That's how unbox therapy "worked" Sometimes i just wish lew would go easy with his personal thoughts, and just give us the amazing unboxing experience that made this channel famous. I mean, we see the box, and some cables... I guess. Nothing about the way they're packaged, etc... Btw nice of them for bringing up the 3ds. Don't forget that everybody hate the 3d so much, claims that they tried it once then turn it off forever, even nintendo made a new 2ds... 3ds without the 3d.
In my opinion, before you tear me apart... If this phones camera doesn't beat the pixel 3's it's an absolute failure. Edit: they had *how much time* to work on this and that's what the camera can do? Knock a grand off that price.
Who cares....you think everyone is camera mad...I'm not and frankly I'd wish they'd split them up and give me a good gaming phone with one decent camera.
@@flicka25 it's RED... A CAMERA COMPANY. if this was a smartphone company that kind of ideology would make sense, but it doesn't. They're asking a premium based on their name, for making CAMERA EQUIPMENT.

YES! EVO 3D was a breakthrough 8 years ago! Here we go again? Lol. 3d TV's don't even sell anymore. What's different with this from the EVO 3d 8 years ago
RED is a famous company, they make one of the best cameras out there, so I expected a better camera in the phone. I'm dissapointed, attaching a better lens on it would not fix this issue (this phone is supposed to be modular, you can attach lenses on it)
I agree. I am wondering if it is a problem with the sensor or a problem with their camera app. I'd be curious what a third party camera app could do with it.
I wouldn't say the best cameras. Arri and Sony are most more bigger than red is with better sensor technology. Even panavision which operates on a rental only business model makes way better cameras than red. Red digital cameras popularity has been on a decline for a while now. Most Hollywood studios have largely ignored them. That's why they have now started marketing towards amateur filmmakers in Indie cinema.
My sister had that phone. I didnt even notice the 3D effect when I switched it on. It's a stupid feature. And will probably cause a huge headache after a while.
6:27 I usually hate all smartphone reviews but this is exactly what I have next and on top of that he is playing my beat Chi! Woaahhhhhhh this is surreal
wait till you see their camera's! tbh it was expected for a company thats great at overpricing to overprice their first smartphone. 1300 is actually pretty reasonable compared to what they charge for other stuff. still terrible tho.
So here we have a 1300 $ phone (that is premium flagship price) from a camera company that has a mediocre camera, mediocre multimedia capability, a robust but outdated body and a nothing else than a gimmicky screen as a selling point... This is a total failure with no redeeming features, let me tell you that, and in your review you failed to say things as they are.
Dude, he didn't read the manual, nor did he take a second to setup the camera or see its features, or show us the video footage, or it's recording resolutions. It's the video that is deeply flawed, not the phone. I mean, it's a Red phone, with a huge camera, and he paid no respect to its features.
@@stevenwest1494 well then that would be his fault to no review the phone properly. As it was shown on the video, the results were totally disappointing.
I just purchased 2 of these phones and I am impressed so far. My wife has the other phone and other than some quarks she is having with software, she loves using this phone. I'm a big guy and this phone fits my hands very well. Easy to hold onto, but it slide around everywhere. On the table or really anything you put this phone on it's going to slide around at the slightest angle or motion, like in the car. I went online after my purchase and there is hardly nothing out for this phone. You can get some glass protectors and clear cases, but that's about it. The cases have no rubber to keep it from sliding around. I spoke/ 'chat' with the HYDROGEN One chat team and they could not tell me what modules would be available or when the first one was coming to market. So that sucked. If anyone finds some info on modules or accessories then please hit me up on RUclips. Thank you.
Yes lol. But they had a camera on each corner. 4 front facing cameras. So the effect could be viewed at any angle. I'm guessing this front camera tracks one face and applies the effect accordingly.
I really like the Aesthetics of the phone, all the other smartphones look identical. But the 3D stuff is very gimmicky remember when HTC did this exact thing and made the Evo 3D? That didn't really take off and I don't really know anyone that uses their 3DS with the 3D mode. 3D TV's never took off, why take a failing concept that has been consistently proven not to catch on and try to market it? They should have put a really nice 4K display and actually their cameras not the same ones every other phone use, especially since they are a camera company. The sensors that are in there are like Sony or something you only get an actual red sensor if you get the attachment that they haven't made yet. Also how do you mess up front facing speakers?
I can't believe all of the RUclipsrs who reviewed this phone and talked about the 3D screen never mentioned the LG Optimus 3D that was released in 2011 which had 3D display and I believe it's camera was even capable of recording in 3D.
There are quite a few 3D phones after the Optimus 3D too, it failed once already and now they come with the same tech again and don't really improve it.
I think not many people know that this is from a camera company that makes one of the best video cameras on the market (given that the camera doesn’t overheat). Thanks for the review. I love the signature red dot on the back.
But, like... how is RED gunna release a smartphone with modularity and not release the modules? Also, the fact that the cameras are not made from RED is just mind boggling to me. Need I mention that, by the time those modules come out, the 835 processor is going to be so outdated (it already is). It seems like they focused way to much on the holographic thing and really neglected the other aspects of the phone. Definitely a flop for $1,300... even if the camera module is ridiculously amazing.
CMShortboy By modular they were envisioning use with their cameras and remote operation. Including cinema drone. Instead of needing a external monitor or for the focus puller, they can just sync up the phone for real time without needing the whole on set directors monitor rig. Its just not there. It would have been better as a camera device than smartphone. Especially with Android. Barf.
This is poor management, not a lack of wanting to do the very things you’re saying they should’ve done. The plan was for the phone’s primary purpose to be the whole modules ecosystem thing, but the holographic thing was likely only there as a means to attract the non-filmmaking, relatively ordinary consumer. They likely went all in on trying to make the camera themselves (trying to jam their familiar tech into a tiny package) but then waited till the last possible second to realize that they couldn’t get it done within a reasonable cost in time, so their backup plan of using a third-party camera sensor was so poorly planned given how much faith they had in themselves to make the sensor themselves that them switching to a Sony sensor was a rushed decision. Their Finance team likely convinced them that it was better for them to go ahead and release it to recoup some money to put towards its sequel instead of pumping endless dollars into polishing what was looking to take way longer than originally planned; and their Marketing team probably spoke up about how harmful to their image releasing it now would be, but Management probably told Marketing to just push the idea that the phone’s primary purpose isn’t as a stand-alone device but one with modules that it interfaces with. But the Management failure is that those modules aren’t ready yet, but they released the phone anyway, all because they were bleeding money trying to get their amazing sensor technology shrunk down to fit into a smartphone. This isn’t an excuse - it’s just an explanation of how things likely went down: well-intentioned and ambitious vision with poor management of juggling the twists and turns along the way.
I think with respect to the modules , they were trying to achieve a similar design to the Lenovo Moto Z which has a lens and a projector module. It doesnt seem to be a good effort for the price. As for the 3D, it's a good idea, when the technology becomes advanced to create a robust, easily viewed screen ABOVE the primary screen. It's not really scifi, but the computing power to do it is astronomical. Just look at the Occulus or even PSVR (pro not standard PS4). And that is now, not a decade from now when it possibly will leave the screen as a true hologram. So hurry up and wait, we will get it, just a question of when?
835 outdated? The fuck? It's not beans new but for a phone there is nothing it can't do. Getting caught up in the benchmarks much? How much power do you need to check the internet or make a call/text? There aren't any games that are so demanding that even one gen back from the 835 will tax it.
I daily drive this, in 2021. I absolutely love it and there's not a phone I'd rather have to be perfectly honest with all of you. I understand it's shortcomings but it truly is great.
so? pixel 3 used sony sensor, oppo and vivo also used the sony sensor, and of course sony themselves used their sensor. did u see any of these phone having a crappy image like a 2012 smartphone camera to you?
@@caerxm Red is a really good camera company. The silicon sensors they make for their full size cameras are absolutely the best. They have achieved their perfection by designing everything about their cameras. When Red said a phone would be coming, people believed the camera would be crazy. The Sony sensor is great, I have no problems with it, however the Red phone should have done something they are extremely good at.
I prefer the boxed corners. I wedge the lower right corner into my hand when holding my phone and the curvy ones slip a little bit. Also, it is better for leaning it up against things. I also like somewhat of a bezel on the sides so that my hand doesn't press the screen when one handing it.
I thought the HTC Evo 4G delivered impressive 3D for a first gen device considering its terribly low resolution, even though some claimed it only worked if looking directly at it(low 3D viewing angle).
This phone is $149 on eBay (refurbished). Really good deal. Really good phone. Kinda wish there was official Android update to 10 though. Right now it's on 8.1. don't want to risk jail breaking.
Red is a company that overprices everything Though you can't complain about the quality of their cameras But yeah, save yourself some money and get a pocophone
It's a balance of both software and hardware. Software can only compensate so much, whereas hardware no matter how good it is needs adequate software to take advantage of it. Whatever company best executes both the software and hardware level of cameras will have the distinct advantage. Just my thoughts.
I have a 3D TV....i never use it and have maybe used it like 10 times in all the years I've had it. 4DX is the real 3D experience. With the moving seats, wind, water, and 3D its epic!
@@AFTERSHOCK-bh7hh They might as well skip it, if they are reluctant to spend what I can only assume will be less than a dollar per phone to include a quick charger. I mean I can get a quick charger for $2-3 on ebay with shipping. The Apple is rotten and has a worm in it.
@@headbangerdnb I haven't seen anyone talking about It, but red isn't the "camera" company most people have in mind. They are not like sony or nikon or canon.They are along with Arri the biggest digital film camera providers in Hollywood. Red makes cinema cameras not stills cameras. You'd think they are the same thing but they are not. No red camera can take pictures for example. Furthermore, what people are generally looking for in a smartphone camera is completely different to what red is used to. People value a sharp (artificially most of the time) and saturated (no matter if the colours have clipped or not) image. Red cameras don't sharpen in camera and are mostly used to be shot in a "flat" color profile (very low saturation and contrast) in order to be graded by a colorist to liking. I could go on but you guys get the idea.
Personally, I think the TV’s didn’t take off bc they mostly used those extremely expensive Bluetooth glasses that also cost a fortune to have batteries replaced instead of passive 3D glasses like theatres use. TRON: Legacy is so far my favorite movie I’ve seen in 3D, and I went 12 times to watch it in the theatre. I actually love my 3ds but am disappointed Netflix never made 3D movies viewable for the 3DS Netflix app. If they had, I think that also could have supported more 3D content for devices like this phone. Simply bc of the lack of 3D content available, this phone won’t do too well. IF more 3D content wa available, then I’d consider it.
It feels like a weapon, it looks like a weapon, oh wait maybe it is a weapon. Consider it done, I'm on my way. Uses it like a ninja star on secret spy mission lol
No company that is reasonably old has ever put out a good product every time. Ever. Including Apple, Google, Nokia, Samsung, Boeing, NASA, every fashion and clothing company in existence- everyone. The same goes with people, as well. If you’re looking for perfect, this isn’t the world for you.

It’s worth $1300; even new iPhones don’t have bezels that big. Totally worth it for how much bezel you get.
Pun intended at 0:51?
A red 'weapon' is one of their cameras names lol.
In 2017 hydrogen phone would be a game changer(by the leaks and rumers)
In 2018 *It's a big flop though*
"Hal, build a good phone!" "I'm afraid I can't do that Dave."
So here we have a 1300 $ phone (that is premium flagship price) from a camera company that has a mediocre camera, mediocre multimedia capability, a robust but outdated body and a nothing else than a gimmicky screen as a selling point... This is a total failure with no redeeming features, let me tell you that, and in your review you failed to say things as they are.
Dude, he didn't read the manual, nor did he take a second to setup the camera or see its features, or show us the video footage, or it's recording resolutions. It's the video that is deeply flawed, not the phone. I mean, it's a Red phone, with a huge camera, and he paid no respect to its features.
@@stevenwest1494 well then that would be his fault to no review the phone properly. As it was shown on the video, the results were totally disappointing.
Don’t forget the fact that the camera is a Sony sensor. They didn’t even make the camera
@@stevenwest1494 Huge camera? Are we even watching the same video?
*Electrolysis of water gives Hydrogen phone and oxygen os* 😂😂
Ohh boi
I wish this guy did unbox the mate 20 Pro
I just purchased 2 of these phones and I am impressed so far. My wife has the other phone and other than some quarks she is having with software, she loves using this phone. I'm a big guy and this phone fits my hands very well. Easy to hold onto, but it slide around everywhere. On the table or really anything you put this phone on it's going to slide around at the slightest angle or motion, like in the car.
I went online after my purchase and there is hardly nothing out for this phone. You can get some glass protectors and clear cases, but that's about it. The cases have no rubber to keep it from sliding around.
I spoke/ 'chat' with the HYDROGEN One chat team and they could not tell me what modules would be available or when the first one was coming to market. So that sucked.
If anyone finds some info on modules or accessories then please hit me up on RUclips. Thank you.
3D is cool except it hurts your eyes if you watch it too long. Gotta work on that
Is that not what that Amazon phone that failed did? lol
Yes lol. But they had a camera on each corner. 4 front facing cameras. So the effect could be viewed at any angle. I'm guessing this front camera tracks one face and applies the effect accordingly.
Uh .. I had that phone. It was horrendous.
@@memphisflyer8574 I quite liked it other than the app store and over heating
names couldn't even have the real RUclips app.
This one with that price tag will fail too.
This phone is $1300 worth of a slab of metal. That's the kindest I can put it.
$1300??? I'll stick with my $250 lg g5
I really like the Aesthetics of the phone, all the other smartphones look identical. But the 3D stuff is very gimmicky remember when HTC did this exact thing and made the Evo 3D? That didn't really take off and I don't really know anyone that uses their 3DS with the 3D mode. 3D TV's never took off, why take a failing concept that has been consistently proven not to catch on and try to market it? They should have put a really nice 4K display and actually their cameras not the same ones every other phone use, especially since they are a camera company. The sensors that are in there are like Sony or something you only get an actual red sensor if you get the attachment that they haven't made yet. Also how do you mess up front facing speakers?
"CONSIDER IT DONE....I'M ON MY WAY" 🤣🤣🤣
Thumbs up for another company that defies the screen to body ratio craze in the industry.
It's a good craze though, arguably, some bezels are fucking big man
@@jaysinart We're reaching the point of diminishing returns, in all honesty
I can't believe all of the RUclipsrs who reviewed this phone and talked about the 3D screen never mentioned the LG Optimus 3D that was released in 2011 which had 3D display and I believe it's camera was even capable of recording in 3D.
There are quite a few 3D phones after the Optimus 3D too, it failed once already and now they come with the same tech again and don't really improve it.
and Htc evo 3d also
This 3D is different
The verge did mention that LG phone.
The HTC Evo 3D did it better, and did 3d video as well.
I think not many people know that this is from a camera company that makes one of the best video cameras on the market (given that the camera doesn’t overheat). Thanks for the review. I love the signature red dot on the back.
But, like... how is RED gunna release a smartphone with modularity and not release the modules? Also, the fact that the cameras are not made from RED is just mind boggling to me. Need I mention that, by the time those modules come out, the 835 processor is going to be so outdated (it already is). It seems like they focused way to much on the holographic thing and really neglected the other aspects of the phone. Definitely a flop for $1,300... even if the camera module is ridiculously amazing.
CMShortboy By modular they were envisioning use with their cameras and remote operation. Including cinema drone. Instead of needing a external monitor or for the focus puller, they can just sync up the phone for real time without needing the whole on set directors monitor rig. Its just not there. It would have been better as a camera device than smartphone. Especially with Android. Barf.
This is poor management, not a lack of wanting to do the very things you’re saying they should’ve done. The plan was for the phone’s primary purpose to be the whole modules ecosystem thing, but the holographic thing was likely only there as a means to attract the non-filmmaking, relatively ordinary consumer.
They likely went all in on trying to make the camera themselves (trying to jam their familiar tech into a tiny package) but then waited till the last possible second to realize that they couldn’t get it done within a reasonable cost in time, so their backup plan of using a third-party camera sensor was so poorly planned given how much faith they had in themselves to make the sensor themselves that them switching to a Sony sensor was a rushed decision. Their Finance team likely convinced them that it was better for them to go ahead and release it to recoup some money to put towards its sequel instead of pumping endless dollars into polishing what was looking to take way longer than originally planned; and their Marketing team probably spoke up about how harmful to their image releasing it now would be, but Management probably told Marketing to just push the idea that the phone’s primary purpose isn’t as a stand-alone device but one with modules that it interfaces with. But the Management failure is that those modules aren’t ready yet, but they released the phone anyway, all because they were bleeding money trying to get their amazing sensor technology shrunk down to fit into a smartphone.
This isn’t an excuse - it’s just an explanation of how things likely went down: well-intentioned and ambitious vision with poor management of juggling the twists and turns along the way.
I think with respect to the modules , they were trying to achieve a similar design to the Lenovo Moto Z which has a lens and a projector module. It doesnt seem to be a good effort for the price. As for the 3D, it's a good idea, when the technology becomes advanced to create a robust, easily viewed screen ABOVE the primary screen. It's not really scifi, but the computing power to do it is astronomical. Just look at the Occulus or even PSVR (pro not standard PS4). And that is now, not a decade from now when it possibly will leave the screen as a true hologram. So hurry up and wait, we will get it, just a question of when?
The 835 isn't already outdated, the exaggeration is real.
835 outdated? The fuck? It's not beans new but for a phone there is nothing it can't do. Getting caught up in the benchmarks much? How much power do you need to check the internet or make a call/text? There aren't any games that are so demanding that even one gen back from the 835 will tax it.
The LG Thrill had a 3D screen. It isn't new.

I daily drive this, in 2021. I absolutely love it and there's not a phone I'd rather have to be perfectly honest with all of you. I understand it's shortcomings but it truly is great.
🤣🤣🤣
This has been done before by LG. I had it back in like 2011.
htc evo3d also
I had the HTC EVO 3D back in the day (I think it's still sitting in a drawer lol) and although kind of gimmicky, it was pretty awesome actually
@@BoostfedVR4 With HTC Evo to get that 3D effect you had to look at the screen at certain angle only, but the effect was there though.
1:13, Red actually did not make the camera unit. It is a Sony sensor
Gud company
so? pixel 3 used sony sensor, oppo and vivo also used the sony sensor, and of course sony themselves used their sensor. did u see any of these phone having a crappy image like a 2012 smartphone camera to you?
@@caerxm Red is a really good camera company. The silicon sensors they make for their full size cameras are absolutely the best. They have achieved their perfection by designing everything about their cameras. When Red said a phone would be coming, people believed the camera would be crazy. The Sony sensor is great, I have no problems with it, however the Red phone should have done something they are extremely good at.
Syahir Roslan it was likely rushed into the pipeline as a backup part that they hadn’t spent much time preparing to optimize for
@@chrisjfox8715 exactly, they should have done away with the "3d" display and worked on the camera
Man, you are what makes these videos worth it to watch.... Your 'personality' makes this channel so popular dude.
I prefer the boxed corners. I wedge the lower right corner into my hand when holding my phone and the curvy ones slip a little bit. Also, it is better for leaning it up against things. I also like somewhat of a bezel on the sides so that my hand doesn't press the screen when one handing it.
who else pees on the side of the toilet to make less noise?
Me
Doesnt everyone do that?
Pussy
Chads aren't ashamed of the pee noise.
@@brandonkick6142 nah I just don't wanna wake my parents up
I thought the HTC Evo 4G delivered impressive 3D for a first gen device considering its terribly low resolution, even though some claimed it only worked if looking directly at it(low 3D viewing angle).
This episode was funny as hell definitely bring Will on for future episodes
This phone is $149 on eBay (refurbished). Really good deal. Really good phone. Kinda wish there was official Android update to 10 though. Right now it's on 8.1. don't want to risk jail breaking.
2:15 *VEGETA*
Like if you agree.
1300 for a smart phone that should be worth 3 to 400 dollars lmao
You pay $1k extra for the camera... and the camera is hot garbage lol
3? Yea no this phone is like 700-800
Not even 400, even the SD835 isn't a good excuse.
This is a tougher nextbit phone with some sort of good aesthetic to it and nothing else.

I would buy this phone just to feel exclusive .
It's a balance of both software and hardware. Software can only compensate so much, whereas hardware no matter how good it is needs adequate software to take advantage of it. Whatever company best executes both the software and hardware level of cameras will have the distinct advantage. Just my thoughts.

spancer87 Well iPhones come with their charger too?🤷🏻♂️ just not a fast charger which is stupid... but thy come with one
@@AFTERSHOCK-bh7hh They might as well skip it, if they are reluctant to spend what I can only assume will be less than a dollar per phone to include a quick charger. I mean I can get a quick charger for $2-3 on ebay with shipping. The Apple is rotten and has a worm in it.
Remember the Nokia Lumia 1020*? Looks like it tho.
Being a camera company, I think they were going for making the next Lumia 1020, but failed. The 1520's camera was nowhere near as good as the 1020.
@@headbangerdnb Ohyeah, I meant the Lumia 1020. That beast had that insane camera.
@@headbangerdnb I haven't seen anyone talking about It, but red isn't the "camera" company most people have in mind. They are not like sony or nikon or canon.They are along with Arri the biggest digital film camera providers in Hollywood. Red makes cinema cameras not stills cameras. You'd think they are the same thing but they are not. No red camera can take pictures for example. Furthermore, what people are generally looking for in a smartphone camera is completely different to what red is used to. People value a sharp (artificially most of the time) and saturated (no matter if the colours have clipped or not) image. Red cameras don't sharpen in camera and are mostly used to be shot in a "flat" color profile (very low saturation and contrast) in order to be graded by a colorist to liking. I could go on but you guys get the idea.
@@xLightcrystalx so can it capture good raw images?
@@aadisam3190 well I have no idea but I very much doubt that it shoots raw.
Personally, I think the TV’s didn’t take off bc they mostly used those extremely expensive Bluetooth glasses that also cost a fortune to have batteries replaced instead of passive 3D glasses like theatres use. TRON: Legacy is so far my favorite movie I’ve seen in 3D, and I went 12 times to watch it in the theatre.
I actually love my 3ds but am disappointed Netflix never made 3D movies viewable for the 3DS Netflix app. If they had, I think that also could have supported more 3D content for devices like this phone. Simply bc of the lack of 3D content available, this phone won’t do too well. IF more 3D content wa available, then I’d consider it.
It’s like a new version of the HTC EVO 3D 😂

No company that is reasonably old has ever put out a good product every time. Ever. Including Apple, Google, Nokia, Samsung, Boeing, NASA, every fashion and clothing company in existence- everyone. The same goes with people, as well. If you’re looking for perfect, this isn’t the world for you.
