Kodak and mobile device manufacturer Bullitt Group announced that they will launch a range of Android-powered mobile devices offering high-end photo software and features. The companies said the phones will be aimed at consumers "who want a high-end experience but aren't always as comfortable using increasingly complicated mobile devices as they would like to be". The smartphones and tablets will come pre-loaded with bespoke image capture, management and sharing features. In addition, advanced remote management software will be pre-installed, allowing family members and friends to provide help and support if needed.
Kodak said the phones will also focus on design and usability, in order to "stand out in a market segment that is currently under-served". The first handset will be launched at CES in January. There will be further product announcements across the second half of 2015 including a 4G handset, a tablet and a connected camera. The Kodak trademark is used under licence by Bullitt.
