Kodak made a smartphone that's more of a camera

article published on 21 October, 2016

I predict this will be a disaster.

However, I love the fact that Kodak is doing this. It's been a long time since the primary function of a phone is the phone function. For some people, it's a gaming device. For others, a texting device, or a web browser, or an e-mail checking machine. But if you're into the camera function (and I am), then it's time some company started making a device that is a camera first and a phone/etc. second. I love the improved lens (albeit bigger), and the way the body/buttons/etc. are designed from a camera perspective rather than trying to figure out how to make a phone's body and buttons work for camera functionality.

I would love to see the major manufacturers start making different models that focus on different aspects of functionality. I think they would succeed. But Kodak is now such an outdated, forgotten company that I don't see them having the same kind of success.

The way the euro is going, a 500 euro device with features like that will be a great deal.
