Eastman Kodak Company and Bullitt Group announced the KODAK EKTRA Smartphone will be on display at the Kodak Studios (South Hall 1, Booth 20619) at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The photography-led smartphone was released across Europe in December 2016 and CES 2017 will be the first time the device has been unveiled to the U.S. market ahead of its availability for pre-order in the U.S. and Canada in April 2017. Optimized for performance across GSM networks including AT&T and T-Mobile, the KODAK EKTRA Smartphone is incredibly fast and delivers powerful imaging and editing capabilities to capture exceptional images, whatever the environment. The KODAK EKTRA Smartphone fuses the best of Kodak’s rich history in imaging with the latest innovations in smartphone photography and is a key addition to the Kodak portfolio on display at the show. At the heart of the KODAK EKTRA Smartphone is a 21-megapixel fast focus camera sensor with f2.0 aperture, and an industry leading 13-megapixel front-facing camera with Phase Detection Auto Focus PDAF and f2.2 aperture. The custom-built camera app is controlled by an intuitive haptic touch, SLR-style Scene Selection Dial, where adjustments are made in real time via a range of settings including HDR, Landscape, Portrait, Macro, Sport, Night-time, Panorama and Bokeh, alongside a Smart Auto mode which auto-selects the best conditions for user photographs. In Manual mode, more advanced users can adjust exposure, ISO, focus, white balance and shutter speed, with the results being visible on the screen as changes are made. The camera blends high quality low-light and night time photography, utilising ARCSOFT Night Shot technology combined with a Kodak certified lens coating which allows even more light to reach the sensor — as well as reducing ISO noise, brightening underexposed areas and stabilising blur from slow shutter speeds. Dynamic Focus and Object Tracking give additional control over the camera focus while crisp, clear images are guaranteed through automatic Image Noise Reduction features, reducing the need for extensive post-editing.
