Amazon announces the Fire Phone


Yep, it's a phone alright. Amazon officially unveiled the Fire Phone today at a special press event held in Seattle. Consistent with the rumors, Amazon's first ever phone has a 4.7-inch Gorilla Glass display with a HD resolution screen (we're assuming it's 720p). It also has a rubberized frame with aluminium buttons, a quad-core 2.2GHz processor, Adreno 330 GPU and 2GB of RAM. As for the camera, there's a 13-megapixel rear-facing one equipped with a f/2.0 lens and optical image stabilization. The phone's display will have 590 nits of brightness, dynamic image contrast and a "circular polarizer," though we're not entirely clear on what that means yet. There's also a dedicated camera key and luckily for all you photo addicts, it'll also come with unlimited cloud storage for photos.


As for sound, the Fire Phone touts dual stereo speakers along with support for virtual Dolby Digital Plus surround sound. It comes with earphones with flat cables plus magnetic earbuds that clasp together.
