I have taken great pics and the video camera is great for editing (definitely not a point and shoot camera like a lot of camera phones out there). But... I have had this phone since release and everything but the camera is total junk and a waste of time.
1) The phone itself was and has been unreliable in connections even with good service.
2) The speaker phone is worthless since nobody can ever hear me. The receiver on the phone cannot be held on the shoulder while multi-tasking in the kitchen or on the PC because my face will cover the holes and I can't be heard.
3) The bluetooth will DC the call when swapped from one device to another (ear buds to vehicle for instance). Recently the bluetooth has been going out on the phone to where it will not connect with my vehicle at all (I have a 2019 Lexus).
4) The thumbprint bio-sensor went out about 2 months ago and the swipe screen is also on the fritz. So I have to keep my phone unlocked and with me at all times.
5) The phone will freeze up towards user input, in other words, nothing will work. I can't shut the phone off, I cant reset it. I can't swipe or tap. I have to wait for the phone battery to die before the phone will reset (plenty of missed calls there).
6) Location services don't always work and the SIM card may or may not be recognized even when sent by your carrier as a replacement.
7) not memory Card Friendly. I have tried Samsung, SanDIsc and a few off name brands in order to increrase the memory on my phone since I take a lot of photo's and video and Red's Hydrogen one has hated all of them. It will not recognize the card, or will try to boot from the card or will save to the card and not be bale to bring it up.
8) H4V files and "Holographic screen" is a horrible gimmik. The file type is not supported in any editor. I have tried both Sony Vegas and the Adobe suite of software and neither will recognize the file type. If you wear glasses, you will have a hard time seeing the effects. It's cool if you want to see things on your phone, but other than that it's a useless feature that should have been dropped for a better device and put into their second gen (never going to happen) phone.
I don't care how much or how little this phone is, DO NOT BUY it is a trash device. Even the part that is awesome can't be accessed when the phone freezes up, which is 30% of the time. I have had 2 replacements of this phone through my carrier insurance because it just stopped working and I have had the same problem with all 3 phones.

It hasn't received any major Android updates and is stuck on Oreo? Talk about a waste of money...

It would've been (like it is already) a device for even a smaller niche of people than gaming phones...

First, full disclosure, I LOVE 3D!!!
Unfortunately this phone doesn't quite do it for me.
Almost, but not quite.
The problem is this only lets you watch in 3D what is already in 3D.
It doesn't convert regular movies to 3D like the old LG Thrill does.
And while the 3D in the LG Thrill is not the best (slightly noticeble at times), at least it does convert any videos into 3D.
If this phone ever gets around to doing that then I'm in.

My 6.4" S10+ display , somehow, is not bigger than this 5.7" one
The feeling of such a robust, rugged phone is so so great. I missed that just from Note 4.
Modern phones are so fragile

Have seen this phone up close. Its more of camera than a phone or rather I will say a camera with a phone ;)
The USP of this device is the 3D video recording and playback, mind blowing visuals don't need to wear 3D glasses.
Simply awesome....

it is amazing, you have to configure the camera options, the imagnees are incredible, it is a good processor, the sound is incredible, the size and the robustes are not compared with a delicate iphone, it is heavy. solid, you feel what is worth, has 6gb of ram, 2gb more than iphone xs max, even the modules of this 2019 are not ... the holography is the future, never have taken out something of nitch to the market ... vale penalty the investment above all because you can read midro sd of 2tb .. amazing !!!!!!!

Well even an foldable phone existed back in 2011 made by Kryocera and cost around 400 euros.
Yet Samsung wants to release foldable phone for 2500.
But to be right if we compare HTC and Hydrogen the price is doubled maybe tripled.
In case of foldable phones Samsung wants from its customers 6,25 times the price of what the phone cost back in 2011 made by for most of you unknown company Kryocera.
