Rebooting a well-known name is not something is easily done, and Kodak has a long history of products behind them. However they are looking to the future, by reviving a name from the past. Kodak Ektra is an Android-powered smartphone with an impressive spec list on paper, and on looks too.
Kodak explains that the Ektra is all about the old-school experience - there are even genuine leather accessories that look so much like classic camera cases. The back of the phone itself is leatherette with a camera hump and grip, evoking the look of Kodak’s analogue cameras. The camera itself features a 21MP camera with an f/2.0 lens and Optical Image Stabilization. It features Phase Detection AF and 4K video recording. A dual-LED, dual-tone LED flash is on the back (xenon would have been a lovely touch here). There’s a solid 13MP camera on the front for selfies.
Underneath the leather-like covering, the Ektra has a 5” 1080p screen. It’s powered by a Helio X20 chipset with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. There’s a microSD slot, so you won’t run out of memory soon. Also, there’s a big 3,000mAh battery inside. No news yet on the availability of the phone around the world, but UK will be getting it for £450 (~RM 2309). Stay tuned to TechNave for more news on the Kodak Ektra.
