Kodak's new smartphone hits the U.S. market

Eastman Kodak and the Bullitt Group announced on Tuesday that the company’s new Kodak EKTRA Smartphone has been released for sale in the United States.

The phone was already released in Europe last December. The phone is being manufactured by UK-based Bullitt Group.

The companies say the U.S. launch coincides with a software update addressing requests from photo-enthusiast consumers, including RAW support, improved auto-focus performance and optimizations to auto-white balance and color saturation.

The device lists at a retail price of $399.99.

This is not the first time Kodak has tried marketing a smartphone. The company also launched a phone in 2015.
