Kodak promised that it will reveal its newest device at CES this year, and they didnt fail: Along with the Bullitt Group, they created the Android-powered, camera-centric Instamatic 5.
Aimed for the photography-loving consumers who appreciate the Kodak brand and heritage, the Instamatic 5 is powered by Android 4.4 KitKat which will be upgraded to 5.0 Lollipop in the future.
While it has its own Google Play Store, Kodak will develop a dedicated app store for hand-picked apps, and a 13-megapixel camera with unique imaging software that lets users quickly edit photographs and a tap away to either display them on their device, send to their social media networks, or directly print using a customized app to home printers.
Kodak Instamatic 5 key specs:
5-inch HD Display, 1280×720, 294ppi
1.7GHz MediaTek MT6592 Octa-core processor
1GB RAM
8GB Internal Storage
Expandable up to 32GB via microSD
13-megapixel rear camera
5-megapixel front camera
3G, EDGE
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Android 4.4 KitKat (upgradeable to 5.0 Lollipop)
2150mAh battery
The Kodak Instamatic 5 will be available in black and white colors and will be available globally, starting in Europe next month, then in the US for $249 or roughly Php11,200.
I’m interested with the quality of photos this can have. If kodak can’t have a very good photo quality at par or even better than high-end devices, then theres no purpose in buying this.
