Price drop: Kodak Ektra now available for Rs. 9999 on Snapdeal

Popular photography brand Kodak launched the camera-centric Ektra smartphone in India back in July this year for Rs. 19,990. Now almost five months later Kodak has announced a massive price cut of  Rs. 10,000 on the phone. This shows Kodak has been struggling to sell the phone, and is betting on the price cut to clear stocks.

With the price cut applied, the Kodak Ektra will be up for grabs at a reduced price of Rs. 9,999, and will be available online exclusively on Snapdeal.

The Ektra is named after Kodak's innovative and feature loaded 35mm camera from 1941. The phone has a huge camera lens at the back featuring 21MP Sony IMX230 unit with f/2.0 aperture, 6-axis OIS, PDAF, non-reflective leans coating, ISO, accompanied by dual-tone LED flash. For selfies you get a 13MP camera featuring f/2.2 aperture and PDAF.

It boasts DSLR-like modes and features like Smart Auto, Portrait, Manual, Sports, Bokeh, Night-time, HDR, Panorama, Macro, Landscape, and 4K Video Capture. It also has an advanced customizable manual mode that allows users to adjust exposure, ISO, focal length (Manual/Auto), white balance, shutter speed, and aperture (fixed f2.0 main camera).

It also has a dedicated shutter button, and the camera lens are protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass. It sports a leather-like finish on the outside for a better grip. It also comes with a widget with Kodak-curated app recommendations such as  Google's Snapspeed, Adobe Lightroom, VSCO and Prisma. It also comes pre-loaded with Super 8 app for applying effects similar to Kodak’s Super 8 films.

Coming to the core specs, Kodak Ektra features 5-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) IPS display with Corning's Gorilla Glass protection, 2.3GHz deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 processor with Mali-T880 MP4 GPU, 3GB RAM, 32GB expandable storage, 4G LTE, USB Type-C and 3000mAh battery.
