The company RED had established itself as a premier maker of digital cameras, so those in the know had high expectations for its first foray into the mobile phone market. Instead of building on their stellar reputation in cameras, RED introduced a phone with a weird holographic 3D-like display. In a Verge review of the phone, it was said to be wonky tech that, when it did work, could make the viewer feel a little sick.

Multiple reports of the phone bending while being stored in peoples’ pockets or subjected to moderate stress arose, and the issue became amplified when Unbox Therapy picked up on it and created a video specifically testing the phone with dismal results. While the phone does not always break, moderate stress can cause it to have a permanent bend centered in the frame around the location of the volume buttons. Furthermore, an issue related to the bending issue called “Touch Disease” arose, something we covered in 2016. This flaw can also result from moderate bending, causing the chip to become dislodged and, preventing touch response to a part of the screen, which kind of makes it useless.
