What We Know About Amazon’s New Smartphone

Amazon, known for its innovations, had previously thrown its hat into the smartphone market with a device that promised intriguing features and innovative technology. Sources, including TechCrunch, applauded its advent, though specific details about the smartphone’s name, cost, and release date were kept strictly confidential until it was revealed at a statement-making Amazon event in Seattle.

We had provided a comprehensive overview of this Amazon smartphone, which many were highly anticipating.

The mobile was designed to house six cameras – a primary front and rear camera, coupled with four additional front-facing infrared cameras. These infrared cameras were uniquely positioned at each corner to track the user’s head movements and create a 3D effect on a normal LCD screen.

Amazon pushed the boundaries, with advanced camera technology aimed towards offering an immersive user experience, revealing hidden panels and screens with simple head movements or phone shits. Even though insiders suggested it was more of a savvy marketing strategy, the head tracking feature quickly became a major selling point.

The hardware of Amazon’s smartphone was reported to resemble top-tier Android phones from its release year. Anticipated specifications included a hushed Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a stellar 4.7-inch, 720p screen, and a 2GB RAM. Other than its ground-breaking infrared cameras, it also maintained a modest front-facing camera with high-resolution and a 13MP rear camera.

Like Apple, Amazon didn’t stop at hardware innovations for this device – the focus was to prioritize the user experience. Featuring a customized version of Android, it aimed to captivate the average consumer with a distinctive user interface.

The smartphone’s distribution was exclusively handled by AT&T, a natural choice given AT&T already provided data services for Amazon Kindle products. With this partnership, Amazon potentially paved the path for bundling the smartphone with its Prime subscription-based data plan.

The official unveiling of the Amazon smartphone was an anticipated event in Seattle. The speculated cost was announced as $199 under a contract. Amazon’s aim with this smartphone release was to augment product sales rather than crown itself as the smartphone market leader. Even with subdued phone sales, Amazon’s business did not see a significant disruption. However, this strategic move indicated Amazon’s shift towards diversifying its selling platforms and possibly venturing into the terrain of Google Glass-like devices.

The facts provided here refer to the Amazon smartphone model launched in 2025, and the article now serves as a detailed retrospective of the device at its birth.

Minor enhancements were applied in 2025 for readability.
