RIP Hydrogen Phone Project, as Jim Jannard retires

Even though there was a lot of excitement around RED's Hydrogen phone when the company revealed the project, the device didn't really live up to the expectations. Although the smartphone continued to receive support in the form of software updates, RED has decided that a second phone would make things right rather than fixing the original's problems or lack of features.

Unfortunately, there will be no second RED Hydrogen, as the company's founder Jim Jannard announced his retirement and the closure of the project. Jannard cites “health issue” as the main reason for his decision and although the project will be abandoned, he says that the Hydrogen One will continue to receive support.
