BIG NEWS! Amazons own FIRE Phone has been announced. 8 THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT HERE! 1. Fire Phone has four infrared cameras, one tucked away in each corner (plus a standard selfie-shooter up top), which track your head positioning to deliver what Amazon calls Dynamic Perspective. 2. Tilt-to-scroll has rarely worked as well as intended on other devices, but Amazon says its got it figured out with the Fire Phone. Additionally, you’ll be able to quickly tilt the device in different directions to pull up panels with additional UI elements. 3. With a quad-core 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, an Adreno 330 GPU and 2GB RAM, the Fire Phone doesn’t come across like the mid-range device. Up front is a 4.7in HD display running at 1280x720 (315ppi) with 2400 mAh battery. 4. Firefly is a new feature that uses the back camera to scan items in the world—objects, images, text, logos, phone numbers, etc.—and provide information about them on the fly, plus the ability, naturally, to buy them direct from Amazon. 5. Got a question about your Fire Phone, its software, or maybe the Amazon ecosystem? Like the Kindle Fire HD tablets, the Fire Phone supports Mayday functionality for video support from one of Amazon’s trained specialists. 6. With optical image stabilization built in, Amazon says the 13-megapixel shooter is better than both the Galaxy S5 and iPhone 5S, particularly in terms of low-light photos. The five-element, wide aperture lens should deliver decent photos even in poor light, and there’s a dedicated physical camera button to bring up the app within about a second. 7. Naturally, the Fire Phone is deeply embedded in Amazon’s media ecosystem, and it brings some really neat features, such as ASAP, which predicts which movies and TV shows you might want to watch and starts loading them up, as well as the second-screen X-Ray functionality seen on the Kindle Fire tablets. And the earbuds have a flat cable and magnetic buds that snap together when not in use, helping them avoid getting tangled in your pocket. 8. As expected, the Fire Phone will debut exclusively on AT&T in the United States, and it will be available on 25 July. The 32GB model sells for ₨11,888.92 with a two-year contract, while a 64GB version goes for ₨17,863.25 Without a service plan agreement, they sell for ₨38,773.41 and ₨44,747.74 respectively. No word yet on an international release at this time.
