Kodak Unveils A New Smartphone Designed Specifically For Photographers
Kodak and Bullitt Group just unveiled the new KODAK EKTRA smartphone designed specifically for photographers. It features 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 your 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 KODAK EKTRA Smartphone has a dedicated dual press shutter button in the horizontal style of traditional cameras. The device also features a Super 8 app, providing professional effects reminiscent of Kodak’s iconic Super 8 film stocks. A lightning-fast HELIO X20 Decacore processor powers the ANDROID Marshmallow smartphone.
This beauty will be priced at £449 and available across Europe later this year.

I feel like this would only really be for a very specific audience, as it's too expensive for someone who doesn't take many photographs, but if you're a legitimate, professional photographer you wouldn't WANT your camera to also be a phone and would instead just have at least one high quality camera.

because everyone is getting a smartphone now and doing "photography" with it...Apple make huge publicity for the camera on the iphones. This will never been use by professional photographer but by casual photographer who just want to take pictures with little place

call me oldfashioned but I prefer to take photos with a camera, call people with a phone and listen to music on a MP3 player. Ofc a smartphone can all of the above and while it can be good it won't excel anywhere imo

In other words, it's a 2015 Moto X Pure Edition, if it's real at all. The only game changer would be the optics, and they don't mention what (if any) lens options are, or if this has optical zoom of any kind.
