The Kodak Ektra is a new smartphone that will cost you a pretty penny, but it may be exactly what you’re looking for.
In a world previously dominated by the iPhone, more companies are developing top-of-the-line devices capable of competing with Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) favorites.
Here’s what you should know about the Kodak Ektra:
- It comes equipped with a 21-megapixel unit developed by Sony Corp (ADR) (NYSE:SNE), which is a relatively disappointing sensor considering Kodak is a camera company.
- However, the actual camera of the gadget is decent with an f/2.0 lens and 6-axis optical image stabiliziation functionalities.
- The Kodak Ektra has HDR and 4K video capabilities.
- The front camera is a 13MP sensor with a f/2.2 lens.
- The device has a sleek look with an artificial “leatherette” material with metal sides, donning a curved grip as well as a shutter button that makes it look like a throwback camera.
- The Scene Selection Dial on the Kodak Ektra allows you to choose between portrait, manual, sports, night, HDR, panorama, landscape, video and more.
- An app that comes with the smartphone is the “Super 8,” giving your art a vintage look.
- The Ektra has 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage.
- It will set you back a whopping 450 pounds (about $551).
Other recent iPhone alternatives worth considering include the Galaxy Note 7 — once its flaws are fixed — and the OnePlus 3, the latter of which is a cheaper phone.
