We already posted about the first hands-on with the RED Hydrogen last August, when YouTuber Marques Brownlee got to play with the first “dummy” prototype. At the beginning of this year we reported about updates to the RED Hydrogen phone. Now, after the dedicated RED event, it is clear RED has working (near final) prototypes and they will most likely be able to deliver the final product as promised: The mysterious RED phone should be coming this summer in August...
