- Hey guys, it's Mashable's senior tech correspondent
Ray Wong, and we've got another unboxing ASMR video.
Are you guys ready?
I know you guys loved the first one, so here we go.
Here's the box.
I had to peel off all of my personal address information,
because you guys don't want to send me crap, right?
Okay.
So, the very first thing we have in the box is
a foam padded board.
And you can see it says over here, "Hydrogen One.
Inside this box you will find a Hydrogen One."
That's the phone.
"I'm proud to share this device with you,
the first part of our new blah blah blah,
comes with a 128 gigabyte micro-SD card,
and a limited edition Hydrogen coin."
Ooh!
A coin, let's take that coin out.
Plastic.
Gotta put that plastic, even on the coin.
(laughing)
Okay.
I mean, I think you're supposed to stick this
onto something, it's sticky, okay?
It's a sticker.
(laughing)
It's a sticker.
Okay.
I'm ready to go, I got my Red medallion.
I think it's gonna fall, I'm gonna move it.
Alright.
Nice card stock, I like good card stock,
I appreciate that.
Okay, here is the micro-SD card.
Also has a Red sticker.
Inside.
Okay, I guess, here's a slot for what should be
a micro-SD to SD converter.
But there is none in here.
Alright, lets look at this SD card and see
if there's anything special about it.
It is just a Kingston, 128 gigabyte, you know.
This phone is expensive enough, they could have at least
printed the RED logo on the darn card.
Alright, good enough, let's get to the phone.
Aw, this is hard.
Alright.
Nothing else in the box.
Here is the Red phone.
Dun dun dun dun dun, also very nice cardboard.
Ooh, look at that jewel.
I guess this is what you're paying for.
(laughing)
The box itself, dun dun dun dun.
Here's the phone.
Ooh, plastic, let's get all that plastic off.
Where do we even start?
Okay, here.
Psh psh psh.
Okay, and some more plastic on the front.
Right?
Yeah, okay.
I see a tab, I see a tab.
Says Hydrogen on it, can you see that?
And that's the phone, it is heavy duty.
Oh wait, there's more plastic.
Plastic, I love plastic.
Yeah.
(laughing)
Okay, I think that's it.
But here's the phone, it is heavy duty.
Look at that.
Okay.
Clicking.
How about these volume buttons?
Whoa, they sound different.
The up volume sounds different from the down volume.
Here's up.
Here's down.
I wonder why that is?
And there's also one more button.
It looks like a power, record button, for maybe
recording videos.
That also sounds very different.
So let's listen.
There's just no consistency.
That's very odd.
These scalloped edges.
I guess if you wanna just, like, bludgeon somebody.
(laughing)
Okay, I'm gonna power on the phone.
Ooh.
So yeah.
If you guys don't know, the thing about this phone
that makes it so special, or supposedly so special.
That was high tech.
Whoa, okay.
You guys can't see this, but this is like, this logo.
This logo over here, it is popping out,
and it's kind of like a Nintendo 3DS,
if you guys have played with that.
It's literally popping out.
Oh, my god.
Or it's like one of those, like, you know those
hologram cards that you have as a kid,
with the little unicorns, and all those little
dogs and pets and stuff like that?
It's taking forever to load, let's see what else
is in the box for now.
Paperwork.
I love paperwork.
The s*** that nobody reads.
So here.
Okay.
Instructions on how to set up your phone.
Oh, it looks like that's on the gold.
Can you see this?
There's dual SIMs.
Okay, I'll give them that.
You can have two phone numbers, I guess.
Okay.
Specs.
And yeah, the warranty information.
Yeah.
(laughing)
Okay.
Other things inside of the box.
This guy.
The Red power adapter, oh my god, this thing's a beast.
It also has some plastic on it, let's peel that off.
Okay.
That is heavy duty, okay, that is a big brick.
And the last thing inside of the box is...
This.
Ooh, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Did you hear that?
Did you see that?
That is a magnet.
Look at that click.
It says Hydrogen media machine.
Ooh, satisfying.
Okay, that's pretty satisfying, that itself is worth $1,200.
Here's the cable, this is a USB C to USB C cable.
And it looks pretty heavy duty, it's not your regular
dinky little lightning cable that's gonna fray.
And it comes with these cool clips, I dig that.
For managing your cables, look at that.
Oh, wow.
Look at that.
That is not a crappy cable.
That is nice.
First plug in.
Okay, snappy.
And into the phone.
I've heard better.
Anyway, that is the phone here.
Let's actually go through the UI.
Let's actually go through the UI and see what it looks like.
Ooh, what is that.
That's like a chirping sound.
It's like a croak.
Okay, well I hope you like those sounds.
Alright, let's turn this sucker on.
Fingerprint.
Ooh.
So there is a fingerprint sensor in the power button.
Oh, man, what is that?
That is so old-school.
Look at this.
Look at this screen.
It's like old Android.
It's like the Droid days.
Oh my god, this is...
What is this?
Okay, let's look at the screen.
And it's gonna be really hard for you guys
to even understand what I'm talking about
because you guys can't see this holographic display
with the 4-View, 4V, or 4D, or 4-View effect.
But I'm gonna take a photo right here of you guys.
And what I'm seeing right now is some depth
coming from the camera.
Oh my god...
Okay, there's some depth.
It's not the best photo, to be honest.
Let's try taking a selfie, actually, let me try a selfie,
maybe I'll look better.
Oh no, what happened?
Uh...
Oh, whoa, I don't know what happened here, hold on.
Wow, this camera UI is not that great.
Okay, here we go.
Front camera only supports landscape 4D.
What?
So you can't take a 4D photo in landscape,
you have to take it in portrait, oh wow.
Okay.
Here we go.
Oh my god, what is happening here.
It's in video mode, it's in photo mode,
it's in 4D mode, alright, fine, here we go.
Oh my gosh, that thing's gonna
scare everyone from a mile away.
Alright, here's the photo.
I mean, you guys can't see it in 4D,
but I can tell you right now.
The microphone in front of me looks like it's popping out.
It's sitting right in front of me,
that part has been cut out.
It actually is a pretty good cutout, my face has like
a little bit of depth right there, at the side angles...
It's not that good, the illusion falls off.
And it looks like there's some depth to my hair.
I mean, it's a cool trick, I guess, but I don't know
if you'd ever use this on the daily.
But that's really it, this is your tech ASMR unboxing
for the brand-new Hydrogen Red One,
or Red Hydrogen One phone.
And this is pretty expensive, I gotta say.
It's like, $1,200 for the aluminum version,
and also, it's $1,600 for the titanium version,
which is not available yet.
So this could probably beat someone to death.
It's a different phone, it's not an iPhone,
it's not a Pixel, it's not a Samsung.
If you really care about the Red brand,
I guess go for it, otherwise, I don't know, man.
It seems like a lot of money.
Anyway, that is your tech unboxing,
I'll see you guys next time.
