AMAZON FIRE
Yep, it's finally here the most rumored Amazon product. Amazon officially unveiled the Fire today at a event held in Seattle. With the rumors building up consistently it was quite expected that it would launch it's first-ever handset.
Amazon's first-ever handset has packed it with some competing stuff,it has a 4.7-inch Gorilla Glass display with
an HD-resolution screen . It also has a
rubberized frame with aluminum buttons on the side to make it a classier product.It's powered by a quad-core 2.2GHz processor and
Adreno 330 GPU supporting it is a 2GB of RAM. Photo-enthusiastic users have the camera of 13-megapixel
rear-facing one equipped with an f/2.0 lens and optical image
stabilization and the ability to capture 1080p video. The phone's
display is the usp of the product and will have 590 nits of brightness, dynamic image contrast and a
"circular polarizer," which will likely be used to combat glare. There's
also a dedicated camera key and,
it'll come with free unlimited cloud storage for photos as well.
Other features include global LTE and connectivity with nine bands of LTE, quad-band GSM, five bands of UMTS, 802.11ac support, WiFi channel bonding, NFC and Bluetooth. It even supposedly has great battery life, promising nearly 285 hours of standby time, 22 hours of talk time, 65 hours of audio and 11 hours of video playback.
As for sound department , the Fire booms with dual stereo speakers along with support for virtual Dolby Digital Plus surround sound. It comes with earphones with tangle-free, flat cables plus magnetic earbuds that clasp together. As you might expect, there are a boatload of entertainment-centric features too. There's X-Ray on the phone for second-screen functionality, ASAP (Advanced Streaming and Prediction) support and the ability to fling videos to Miracast devices (like, you know, that Fire TV). Obviously it also supports all of the Prime offerings like Music and Video, plus you'll get Audible, the Kindle Newsstand and Comixology as well.
The Fire will also ship with something called Firefly. It's a feature that uses the phone's camera to recognize books, DVDs, phone numbers, QR codes, CDs, URLs, games, bar codes and more. It also uses the phone's microphone to listen to songs. If it detects an item, you can quickly tap a button to purchase it from Amazon.
The BEST USP of the device is that Fire would have an 3D interface. But it is not 3D (huhh!!!) , 3D interface will follow you around thanks to Fire's unique head-tracking system that he calls Dynamic Perspective. It uses four cameras to do so, each with a 120-degree field of view and infrared light.
The Fire runs on Fire OS 3.5, an Android-based operating system that's customized for Amazon. You can either choose to have a carousel-style app grid similar to the Kindle tablets, or a more Android-like look. The carousel version is slightly enhanced from the tablet version -- you'll be able to see the first few emails without having to launch the mail app, and the latest pictures of the camera app.More like an windows pin to start feature but with an android heart.
