So far so good
Just ordered this phone because my old phone just stopped working. It arrived before expected delivery date and so far so good. I'm not a big electronics person but it does what it's supposed to do. Battery life is good and the camera takes great pictures. I'm the queen of budget phones and this is no budget phone. The only con is not being able to find a phone case but that's cool they have screen protectors and pouches for the phone though.

2 & Half Stars:There are better Cam/phone choices
Purchased this EKTAR as "back up" phone/camera. 1st of all, the KODAK brand raises high expectations for camera ability. As a phone, I have no use beyond casual internet browsing/ email usage. I have only downloaded 6 apps to phone. The 32GB capacity (about 20gb is decent). I'm not into blogging nor social media, so my needs for the phone aspect were more than met. Everything runs OK for non current android MARSHMALLOW. Bullit makes this Kodak Ektra phone (hmmmm sounds like the great "EKTAR" films). Camera wise this phone is at best average (good light conditions) and mediocre at times (indoor flash, dark conditions). Phone was immediately upgraded to v2.010.00a for camera performance improvements but issues remain. white balance is a problem, when recomposing a shot and several images are taken, it throws off balance and gives odd color results. Shutter lag is a problem when using the dedicated side shutter button, avoid it and use the on screen shutter release. In low light conditions strange color banding, fringing, reminiscent of 3rd party cameras is evident (see attached photo). my MOTO g5 plus takes better low light images with its lesser 12MP lens. The optical OIS is great to have but also yields mixed results. the LCD display pumps up the color saturation, when images are uploaded to computer, Adobe PS; color saturation is different. Flash photography is mediocre even with dual LED flash system. The sony provided 21MP sensor needs better firmware to lift this phone to decent camera purpose. As it stands the phone does not live up to the KODAK reputation for quality. This EKTRA is not worth the full retail price, I would have never considered it at the price point. (I purchased for about "fifty" dLs) At that price it is OK, but there are better phone "camera" choices. PS: good luck finding a protective cover

Very good mid-level phone
This phone is not for everyone. It looks more like a pocket camera than a phone. I can only count a few minuses: missing fingerprint reader, average battery, hard to find phone cases, and still on Android 6.0.

Great
After reading many of the reviews I kind of thought that at the sale price it may be a pretty good phone and Camera, as it turns out after a couple days of using it I think fantastic would be the word to use, probably the best deal I've had on a phone in many a year, and the camera is superb

Good phone for the price
The phone is great for the sale price but not MSRP. The camera is good for price of 200 or under. I would not compare it to the flagships of Samsung, LG, MOTO, The major limitation of the phone is that its software is outdated (2015), NO further software update is announced.
