did i miss something on the kodak site, or did they forget to mention that it's a smartphone? Or did ars get that wrong? reading through the full marketing page linked at the top here, i don't see any indication that it's anything other than a digital camera running android.

Didn't Nokia try this already? I'm pretty sure the camera world has settled into two kinds of cameras: cell phones for people who just need to take a few snaps, and DSLRs for people who need more features than can possibly fit in a cameraphone (flash hotshoe, changeable lenses, larger sensor, etc). DSLRs are cheap enough that cost isn't really an issue. I doubt the results here will be any better than Nokia had.

Panasonic has been shipping something similar for a while: https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Communication-Camera-ELMARI...

Scroll down just a bit: "Introducing Kodak's professional-quality, photography-first smartphone."

I understand that Kodak is probably "dipping their toe in the water with this model," but 32GB is not enough storage.

I'd like to know more about the phone, though. Is it a good phone? I mean, is it a good phone? The concept of a phone that's also a quality Kodak camera is cool, but at the end of the day, I'd like to know that it's also great at doing everything else I do with my phone.

Also, does it have a standard 3.5mm headphone jack?

Doesn't look like it'll be able to do anything that any good Android phone with a good sensor/lens can't.

BTW some Mediatek chips were meant to be able to do 480fps 1080p video with certain Sony sensors.. did it ever work out beyond marketing promises?

it's one long panoramic with the left side the before and the right side the after.

Sure. So different photographs, with many other moving parts beside the application of Snapseed wizardry.
