AMAZON FIRE PHONE REVIEW

Amazon Fire Phone


Amazon’s fire phone might not be a hit, but it is definitely a decent smart phone. There are a certain unique features that hamper the battery life and performance. The offerings include 3D head-tracking, product scanning and fast help from customer service agents.

The Fire phone is ideal for single-handed use with a manageable 4.7 inches 720p LCD panel and sides that are easy to grip.The front have five lenses – a Kinect-like sensor on each corner and a front cam. The biggest disappointment is the AT&T agreement and that the phone is locked to only AT&T SIM cards. So if you travel internationally occasionally, you might not want the Fire phone.

The Kinect-like sensors detect your head’s position and the distance and automatically adjusts the field of view on your display, the way you’d actually see things in real life. Dynamic perspective is used in games, lock screens and maps and it works well. Another feature is the Firefly that scans the details of anything that is pointed to by the camera. Point the camera at a phone number, email ID, website or a barcode, and the bubbles will congregate over relevant information and a picture is clicked before the scan happens. One brilliant feature is the Mayday that helps you connect with knowledgeable tech advisors in less than 15 seconds.

Since Fire OS is based on Android, you can side load apps as long as you know how to get them. Otherwise, it is all about Amazon. The Fire phone is designed to make it easier to get more stuff from Amazon.
