Zero hour has arrived. After quite literally talking about the idea of Amazon releasing its own smartphone for years, the rumors and guesswork have coalesced into this afternoon’s event, where we’ve been looking forward to the company finally confirming its news. Today in Seattle, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos took the stage before a room full of both Amazon fans and representatives from the press to draw the curtain back on his company’s first smartphone, the Fire phone.
The handset features a 4.7-inch, a quad-core Snapdragon SoC, and has 2GB of RAM. There’s a 13MP main camera with f/2.0 aperture and optical image stabilization, and it gets its own hardware shutter button. Cloud Drive will offer Fire owners not just convenient cloud storage for those photos, but unlimited space, as well.
Stereo speakers are present to help Fire deliver a satisfying media playback experience for all the Amazon Prime streaming that’s no doubt going to be taking place – though there’s also support for the likes of Netflix, HBO Go, and Hulu Plus.
Just like with last year’s Kindle Fire HDX, Amazon is bringing its Mayday service to the Fire phone, giving users easy access to 24/7 live technical support.
