Firefly is good at what it does. Not perfect
But good. Whether or not you should be or need to be impulse buying everything you see from Amazon
Firefly helps you do it
So long as physical things you are trying to buy generally include some sort of pack
Firefly and Mayday are useful tools
Amazon Prime
Unlimited cloud storage for photos included.

Fire OS is fine
But as an operating system for your primary mobile device
It is notably inferior to Android
IOS
Or even Windows Phone 8.1. The lack of Google apps is a big handicap
And the lack of robust alternatives (Windows Phone at least has all t

For a first smartphone, Amazon went out of its way to differentiate the Fire Phone with it four extra front-facing cameras, Dynamic Perspective, Firefly, and flick-activated operating system. Unfortunately, the sum of those parts is not very impressive.Wh...

Unprecedented Amazon integration with solid perks for “Amazonians”, FireOS is refreshing, smooth, and fun, Dynamic Perspective offers best 3D experience yet, Well crafted, comfortable hardware, Solid voice quality
That pricing is the Fire Phone's principal failing, in our eyes. We can see Amazon's logic in this regard: it's a Snapdragon 800-powered phone with a best-in-class 3D screen and innovative new software features, and you won't find a better Amazon experien...
Amazon tried some interesting things with the Fire Phone. Some of them work well and others do not. The hardware is quite decent and generally offers a good experience. I dislike the appearance of the four user-facing sensors, but they may not bother othe...
The best phone you probably won't want to buyOf course we got interested when Amazon finally showed off the Fire Phone. Rumors had been flying for quite a while, but once we actually saw what Amazon had to offer, we had to take a look at it. It's Android...
Tight Amazon integration makes it a fine phone for accessing purchased media, Dynamic Perspective offers an interesting, if not intuitive, take on navigating the phone's interface, Firefly works seamlessly and effortlessly to ID products, music, and more
Hardware is sluggish, software seems half baked, No access to Google Play or Google services, Battery life left us wanting more
The Amazon Fire Phone is a device that aspires to be much more than it ever could be, falling short in so many areas while reserving the greatest attention to detail for features that could ultimately be written off as gimmicks. Dynamic Perspective and Fi...
Delivers a tight experience with all of Amazon's services, FireFly offers an engaging shopping/searching experience, Display is bright and produces colors accurately, Dynamic perspective lockscreens look pretty cool, Fire OS 3.5 has a pretty slick looking
Battery life is poor!, $200 cost is overpriced for the kind of overall quality it delivers, Lacks Google core apps including the Play Store, Underwhelming camera performance, There's a tough learning curve for first time Fire OS users, The display is high
Checking out Amazon's track record, they've been for the most part successful in their various ventures. More exactly, they've proven to be a strong player in the tablet market with their line of Kindles, so you kind of expect something similar to follow ...

Abstract: Amazon is an innovative company. It practically created online shopping, popularized e-books and made the first mainstream budget tablet. Can the company now work its mojo on smartphones? Let's find out, as Gizmag reviews the Amazon Fire Phone.The Fire Ph...

Abstract: I found some things to like about Amazon's new handheld digital vending machine, the Fire Phone — like its solid build, camera, and screen quality. But I do wish the interface felt a little bit less cluttered and easier to use out of the box.The phone wen...
Abstract: As I hold Amazon's heavily hyped Fire Phone , I find myself struggling to come up with words to describe my initial impressions.I think a single syllable may be the best way to sum up my thoughts on the phone so far -- and that syllable is "odd."In a worl...

If you want the fastest way to buy things on Amazon, this is your dream device. Comes with a free year of Amazon Prime. Firefly's performance is impressive. Very good camera with wide aperture and optical stabilization. Unlimited online storage for photos
Specs lag behind similarly priced phones. Uninspired physical design. Speakers get loud, but the sound is harsh. No Google Play Store. Old Bluetooth spec means you can't use it with most fitness trackers
