Last summer, professional camera company RED announced it would release the "world's first holographic media machine" in early 2018.
The Hydrogen One phone was immediately available for pre-order starting at $1,195.
RED teased an image of the Hydrogen One and gave popular YouTube tech reviewer Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) a non-functional prototype, but not much else was shared about the device for several months.
In a more recent update on the smartphone's status, RED founder Jim Jannard shared additional details and a rough launch estimate for the final product, which both he and RED president Jarred Land now own.
"I can proudly say that my current phone (and Jarred's) is a working HYDROGEN One… serial numbers EVT1- 0001 and 0002," Jannard said. "While there are still a few things to add, it does everything we need from a cell phone… plus display 4-view content. It is awesome. If we never sell one phone… I am totally happy. We both have exactly what we wanted."
Here's a closer look at the Hydrogen One smartphone:
