Its been ages since we have been exposed to leaks of Amazon’s plans to launch a 3D Smartphone. Well finally, Amazon unveiled the phone and it is similar to most of the flagship Android devices and added up software features that have not been seen before.
The Amazon Firephone has a 4.7″ IPS LCD HD display which Amazon claims to be “optimised for one-handed use” coupled with Gorilla Glass. Under the hood it packs a Quad core 2.2GHz processor along with Adreno 330 GPU coupled with 2GB RAM.
The device has a 13MP f/2.0 rear shooter, OIS – instant access button, even with the screen off and shockingly 4 front-facing cameras for dynamic perspective and a wider field of view. It has Dual stereo speakers built in and sports a Glass back along with Aluminium Buttons.
