We have mentioned time and time again that smartphones do not offer any revolutionary new that deserves to be called a revolution in the world of phones. Everyone agrees that the current progress is nothing but general improvements in screens, cameras, batteries, processors, and so on. Even the shapes of phones are close to each other, so it is hardly possible to distinguish at first glance the type of phone, because most of them contain the same notch, the location of the camera and the shape of the phone, even the imitation of the operating system is long. And when a new innovation looms on the horizon that will change the equation, we find it difficult for him to penetrate the smartphone market, which is dominated by Apple and Samsung. So why do these technologies falter and slide on the ladder of fame and widespread use among users, unlike what happened with Apple and Samsung?

Holographic screens and a new vision for future phones


هاتف Red Hydrogen One 

 One of the smartphones that contains a new innovation that will change the concept of smartphones again. A phone from Red, a company with a long history of making digital cameras for movie production. Where she announced a phone under the name "Hydrogen 1" or "Hydrogen One" that contains a screen with holographic technology that produces three-dimensional images without the need for special glasses.

The screen comes with two modes for operation, the first mode is standard that allows viewing content like the rest of smartphones. The second mode works in 4V or 4View Lightfield Display, which is a "lightfield" display that is still in development. It is a little complicated to understand how these screens work, but in short and simply, these screens, thanks to nanotechnology, use a microlens array to divide the image into individual light rays, using encoding appropriate to the displayed image, and by relying on tracking the human eye, which is basically optical sensors, and in a way. All the rays of light emitted from the displayed figure are recreated and all those rays are placed in a specific place, then a hologram will appear in front of you without any glasses for that.

Red company's goals are modest to some extent, as it aims to sell 16 million phones a year (this is a huge number for any top-class phone other than Apple and Samsung), but it is a bit difficult from the point of view of analysts. They will need tech geeks. As well as the high price of the phone, which amounts to 1295 dollars.


What is more like today to yesterday

When Apple introduced the first iPhone, the bombers came out and predicted a resounding downfall for Apple and its new phone. And this is what is happening today with Red PDE Geoff Blaber, analyst and researcher at CC Insight, said that the red hydrogen signal to the Red phone has very little chance of causing great excitement in the smartphone market.

Analyst Carolina Milanesi says that moving away from the dominance of Apple and Samsung is much more difficult than it was in the past, because innovation in smartphones is not limited to hardware and phone components only. What matters most, is the operating system and the AI ​​behind it. This is exactly what Apple and Samsung do, as they provide improved and advanced models in screens, cameras, and batteries, or use programs such as augmented reality, artificial intelligence and digital assistants, as well as use AI processors to automatically fine-tune the image. But they assure that these features are behind a powerful system that the user is satisfied with.

While many analysts do not see any significant impact of the Red phone in the phone market, Jim Jannard, the founder of Red, responded to them and said that his phone will make big waves in the sea of ​​smartphones and it is only the beginning that will have a near effect. "We don't buy the same model or color as our neighbor's car," he added. It is important to maintain the continuity of this industry, develop it, and offer a new choice to the user. And what we did is amazing.


Red calls 4V on the phone screen, and by doubling what is captured by two-lens three-dimensional cameras and adding depth data to each image, in addition to the presence of a material under the screen that allows 4V images and video to appear in a three-dimensional manner for the viewer.

Pictures that are not photographed or converted to this format will look the same as shown on any other phone. Likewise, images captured with 4V technology will not look different on other phones and will look like a normal image. The phone also contains a group of games in 4V format.


Conclusion

◉ 4V technology can face the same problems as virtual reality. Where people did not rush to use virtual reality devices, and in return, the creator of the video did not rush to provide more materials that support it.

◉ Other than the luxurious screen, the phone looks very thick, while other phone companies are trying hard to offer thinner and stronger phones. This is not an equivalent lens adapter for standard SLR lenses to expand your camera while shooting. Incidentally, LG, the main manufacturer of that pattern, retracted it after one year.

◉ In the end, the founder of Red said, “We are trying to provide a phone that we hope will be felt by enough people. Other than that, I will own the most expensive phone in the world and I'm happy. ”

◉ The phone was revealed at the beginning of the year, but it was released in the market only recently.

Do you see that this technology will spread in smart phones, as happened with the iPhone? Or is the matter different this time and will not have a significant impact? Let us know in the comments.
