Mr. MKBHD shows in the movie that it is the prototype (mock) of the final design of the Hydrogen actual machine, the testing machine of the holographic display, and yet another prototype.


First of all, prototype made of Hydrogen's final design and the same material as the real machine. The edge of the side is jagged to increase grip.


Display size is 5.5 inches.


The back is a combination of Kevlar and metal materials, and the Red logo is decorated with jewellike crystals.


Hydrogen is a pretty big smartphone. Even if you stand side by side with iPhone 7 Plus and OnePlus 5 with display of 5.5 inch size, the size of Hydrogen is one size up.


It seems to fit in the front pocket of the jeans.

The terminal under the back is "Moto Z² Force"It is said that it is a terminal for expansion to add a camera housing and so on. Although it is a mock for the exterior to the last, it is a sophisticated one as it is the final design.


The second is a real machine of holographic display. However, it is not a built-in smartphone body, it is a test machine in the development stage, and the real thing can not be released with the movie. Therefore, Mr. MKBHD says that he wants to judge the performance from the facial expressions.

The holographic display that produces a deep 3D image from the 2D image which is expressed as "4D" is confirmed, and a smile can spill in spite.


Although it seems that image twist and light bleeding etc. were seen at the end of the display, it seems that there is no choice because it is under development. However, its workmanship is a level that can be admired, Mr. MKBHD seems to remember expectation how far it will be refined by the launch in 2018.


Wireless charging and waterproofing function may not exist, but MKBHD has the possibility to intensively attract some users from the price of 1,200 dollars (about 133,000 yen) with unique design and high texture and Mr. MKBHD He is evaluating Hydrogen.
