Kodak Ektra: an Android-powered rebirth of a camera legend

20 October 2016
A 21MP main camera with OIS and a 13MP selfie cam bring the Ektra name from the 1940s into the digital world. Nostalgia aplenty.

            Beauty. One major problem. WHY MEDIATEK of all chipset vendors?! Why not going with a great 653 for example?! Or 820!

                  Anonymous, 20 Oct 2016It's allegedly a 1/2.4" sensor. Disappointing. A smartphone... moreexactly i was hoping for 1 inch sensor

                    maybe it's the downscaling, idk, but those image samples look surprisingly... unimpressive? given its appearance

                      It's allegedly a 1/2.4" sensor. Disappointing. A smartphone with a APS-C sensor would be great indeed. There is a point and shoot with an APS-C sensor, for instance the Fuji X70.

                                sample photos are just out of focus. if this is kodak best performance than thank you very much, my 3 years old lumia 930 is way better...

                                    which sensor did they used? if its a tiny usual 1/2.3 smartphone sensor, nothing to rave about.

                                      21MP and F2.0 sounds like the bad early Xperia Z cameras.
