Kodak to Showcase Ektra Phone’s ‘Low Light’ Photographic Capabilities at CES

Kodak is booking the High Roller Ferris wheel behind The Venetian in Las Vegas for a “sunset spin” Friday during CES to showcase the “low light” photographic capabilities of its Ektra smartphone for the first time to U.S. audiences, the company said in an email. Kodak recently began shipping the Ektra in Western Europe at 449 euros ($473), targeted to photographers (see 1610210039). Kodak representatives didn’t answer queries about the Ektra's U.S. availability and pricing. Kodak’s brand licensee, Bullitt Group, is manufacturing the Ektra and will participate in the High Roller event, Kodak said.
