For those who grew up with film cameras, Kodak is probably a brand that you associate more with photography than smartphones. However companies do have to evolve over time to meet the needs of society, and last year Kodak tried their hand at smartphones with the Kodak IM5.
Now obviously the phone did not exactly become the roaring success Kodak had hoped, but bless their hearts as it looks like the company isn’t quite ready to give up just yet. In a teaser image that the company recently released, it seems that they are gearing up for yet another smartphone announcement that they will be making on the 20th of October.
Safe to say that its specs and features are really anyone’s guess right now, but given Kodak’s ties to the photography industry, perhaps we’ll see features that are more photo-centric. Heck, even the teaser image above seems to indicate some kind of button that could maybe be a dedicated shutter release, who knows?
We have to say that we’re a bit skeptical about Kodak’s next smartphone endeavor, but there’s always the off-chance they could surprise us. Either way we’ll have to wait and see what Kodak has in store for us come 20th October, so do check back with us then if you’re interested in seeing what the company has to offer.
