Amazon becomes a new competitor in the market of
smartphone.Yes it unveiled its new smartphone,Fire Phone.Amazon’s CEO Jeff
Bezos said that it’s smaller than leading Android phones, but larger than
Apple’s iPhone.The Fire Phone will bring features found in other Amazon
devices, such as X-Ray for supplemental content and Mayday for live tech
support.
Have a look on the features it has:
1.The phone screen that measures 4.7 inches diagonally.
One-handed use will be better experience.
2.It has image stabilisation to counteract shaking as
people take shots. Amazon is offering unlimited free storage on its Cloud Drive
service.
3.No tangled cords.The phone will come with earbuds that
have flat cords and magnets to clasp them together.
4.A good news for online buyers.Some analysts speculate
that the 3-D feature might tie into an Amazon shopping app. Shoppers might be
able to use the phone to take a 3-D picture of a product in a store, then
search for the object on Amazon and buy it online.
5.Amazon’s Kindle tablets run a highly modified version of
Google’s Android system, and it’s likely an Amazon phone would do the same.
That means apps for the phone would be limited to what’s available through
Amazon’s own app store. The store has grown to include more than 240,000 apps,
but there’s much more for Android and Apple devices.
6.Analysts say the phone might come with a data plan that
could let owners use Amazon services without using up any data. That’s really
good.
7.Facebook once tried to release a phone tied to its
services. The HTC First, released in April 2013, came with Facebook’s Home
software, which takes over the phone’s front screen to present status updates,
messages and other content. Both the phone and the software flopped.
8.Amazon.com got its start in books and soon moved into
music, video, devices and more. Analysts believe the goal of an Amazon-branded
smartphone is to get customers to buy more things from the nation’s largest
e-commerce company. The device might include an Amazon shopping app or other
features tied to the company’s products and services.
9.Amazon’s first gadget was a Kindle e-reader, released in
2007. Although there are plenty of devices that do more, many people still
prefer stand-alone e-book readers because they typically have better screens
for reading in direct sunlight and don’t have distractions such as Facebook and
email.
10.The company started making Kindle Fire tablets in 2011.
The latest models, HDX, are notable for a Mayday help button that accesses live
tech support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You see the representatives in
a video box, but they can only hear you and see what’s on your screen. They can
also help guide you by placing orange markers on your screen or taking control
of your device completely.
