Intelligent mobile phone
On October 21, 2016, an Android phone named Kodak ektra was released, with taking photos as its biggest selling point. The device is now available in the UK and will be available in the US in the coming months (at $550). The phone is equipped with a 21 megapixel rear camera and a 13 megapixel front camera.
The mobile phone adopts a retro style, which is easy to remind people of the old Kodak camera. It is equipped with F / 2.0 large aperture, leather shell and round edge design, so it is more comfortable to hold.
The fuselage is even equipped with a button for taking pictures and a setting knob.
But not all aspects of the phone are retro. It has a usbtype-c interface on the side, so it can easily import photos into the computer. The fuselage memory is 32GB, so it can store a certain number of photos without rushing to import them into the computer.
Kodak has also pre installed the snapshot app in the phone, which makes it easy to take photos. The actual photo shows that the camera effect of this mobile phone is satisfactory under various light conditions, but it also has a short board. After pressing the Photo button, it will take a while to complete the processing and saving work.
In addition, the shape of this mobile phone is relatively thick - in order to accommodate 21 megapixel camera, high-quality lens and powerful processor, it is inevitable to make such a sacrifice.
Of course, like regular Android phones, users can surf the Internet, download and use apps, and make calls. Kodak ektra currently uses the Android 6.0 marshmallow system, but it is unclear whether it can be upgraded to Android 7.0 nougat in the future.
