Kodak will present a smartphone under its own brand in January

Long-dying, but still surviving, Kodak returns to the digital device market to compete with those who nearly killed it - smartphone makers.

At the January exhibition of electronic gadgets CES 2015 in Las Vegas, the company will present the android-smartphone under its brand. Of course, the photo will be the chip of the device - probably, therefore, it looks more like a soap box than a phone:


It is difficult to refrain from commenting, but we will try - what if he is beautiful inside?

Of course, there were no miracles: the R & D of the new smartphone was answered not by the barely risen from the dead Kodak, but by the company Bullit Group , whose specialty is the development of mobile devices for brands that have no relation to the mobile market.

Now Kodak has shared its brand with Bullit. About the new smartphone is nothing, except that it will work under the latest version of Android, is unknown. But some plans for the future are known: in the second half of 2015, companies want to present a mobile device with 4G, a tablet and a lens connected to them.

The path from resurrection to new products from Kodak took exactly one year :

the company's financial affairs are not so bad: the creditors got shares of the renewed company, which significantly reduced the cash debt of Kodak. Plus, the patent package was sold for half a billion dollars, and investors poured another 844 million dollars into the company. All this led to the renewal of the company, and, as mentioned above, to the exit of Kodak from a state of bankruptcy. I would like to hope that companies have something to offer the world, and news about the company will appear on Habré more than once.

Well, the news has appeared. Are they good?
