  • Abstract:  Jeff Bezos is a visionary. But he isn't a Jobsian visionary, rather he is more of a Fordian one. Pragmatic. Long view. Not very flashy or showy....

  • Nope. Definitely not. None of the Fire Phone's flaws are totally insufferable, but there's just no reason to suffer them at all. Fire OS is workable but mediocre as a smartphone operating system, and the hardware doesn't bring anything to the table that c...

  • The Amazon Fire Phone has cool "3D" visuals and a fresh OS design, and it hits the sweet spot for one-handed operation. It has deep, convenient integration with Amazon services
  • Although it costs the same (or more) as competing Android and iPhone models, the Fire Phone delivers a less extensive app store and service experience and more sluggish performance. Battery life is disappointing
  • Despite its daring aspirations and 3D-like party tricks, the brave, new Fire Phone's lack of Google services will alienate anyone who expects the flexibility of a modern Android phone....

  • Abstract:  Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has revealed Amazons first ever smartphone today at a private event in Seattle. It's called the Fire Phone, sticking with the name from other devices in the Amazon family, Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and HDX and the Fire TV Set-top b...

  • Very bright screen, Display with accurate colors, Fast in apps and games, Sturdy chassis, Support for many LTE bands, Fast WLAN, Innovative 3D interface, Usable runtimes, Great service "Mayday"
  • Low-resolution display, App selection limited, Strong relationship with Amazon, User interface outdated and confused, Only one year warranty, Mediocre sound quality
  • In Review Amazon Fire Phone. Test model courtesy of Amazon Germany.The drastic price reduction had its reason We could not really recommend the Amazon Fire Phone for 599 Euros (~$675) since there are much more sophisticated concepts for less money. Howeve...

  • Reasonable battery life, Aesthetically pleasing, 24/7 help is unrivalled
  • No back button, Fewer apps, Overpriced, No Full HD
  • Amazon has had plenty of time to bring out a decent smartphone and certainly deep enough pockets to do its research. In many ways, the Fire phone is likable. The camera and hardware are solid and there are elements of the OS we started to appreciate. Andr...

  • Easy to use with one hand, Solid camera, Comes with free year of Amazon Prime
  • Dull design, Some unintuitive software and lacking app selection, Underwhelming battery life
  • The Fire Phone is Amazon's little missionary, heading out into the wild to spread the good word of the Amazon ecosystem. It tempts you by doing the thing Amazon's always done to tempt people: giving away stuff for cheap. It brings a free Amazon Prime su...
