21MP camera for the photography enthusiasts

Kodak’s Ektra is majorly focussed on the imaging department and the 21MP camera (f/2.0 aperture) on it pretty much explains it all. In addition, the Ektra will also feature Optical Image Stabilisation, Phase Detection Autofocus, dual-tone LED flash, and 4K video recording support.

At the front is a stellar 13MP camera for shooting selfies.

DSLR-like modes

In addition to all the standard camera features mentioned above, the Ektra’s camera app offers support for multiple DSLR-like modes such as Auto mode, Portrait, Manual, Sports, Bokeh, Night mode, HDR, Panorama, Macro, and Landscape.

A large camera protrusion at the back

While we may have been complaining a lot about the camera bump seen on most of the smartphones lately, the massive camera bump on the Ektra only adds to its aesthetics. In fact, the bump gives the whole smartphone a slight touch of retro-classic look.

Unique design language

Speaking of aesthetics, the Ektra flaunts a unique design. The faux leather back and metal-looking plastic at the sides look quite convincing. Also, there’s a slight curve at the bottom to balance the smartphone at a surface level (remember the camera protrusion?).
