Today , Amazonwill announcea mysterious new equipment , and we ’re pretty darn certain it ’s going to be the unbalanced 3D smartphone that ’s been rumored for over a yr . Here ’s what the rumor manufacturing plant suggests is coming our way shortly .
What will it be called?
Probably the Kindle Phone . Maybe a Kindle Fire Phone . After the barrage of Kindle - post computer hardware across categories , does Amazon have another option ?
Design
The renders at the top of this postwere obtained by BGRand impersonate a relatively conventional - looking phone . According to another BGR report — the blog has had a phone number of full-grown Amazon scoops so props to them — the equipment will have a 4.7 - inch , 720p display , which would be small and low resolution than 5.1 - inch , 1080p Samsung Galaxy S5 and the 5 - column inch , 1080p HTC One . Do n’t be put one across by the image directly above this paragraph ; there ’s a protective slip there that makes it look more Lumia than it probably will .

The phone ’s billboard feature is the much rumored 3D display . It ’s not light that Amazon plans to characterize it as 3D , but from from the video recording Amazon posted teasing the twist , it seems the UI is very antiphonal to your movements to that effect . accord toBGR ’s reports , the UI seems like a much more sophisticated reading of Apple ’s parallax essence . In gain to shifting the wallpaper you ’re looking at , Amazon ’s speech sound will also shift the view on icons , as well as throughout Amazon ’s various stores .
In addition to react to your helping hand movements , the phonereportedlyuses multiple cameras to pass over your fount so that it can correct the display as you ’re glancing around the CRT screen . TechCrunchaddsthat the face give chase technology comes from a company called Omron ’s Okao , which is detailed in the video below . The drift of the actors in Amazon ’s teaser above appear to confirm both reports .

Beyond the 3D effect , BGR reportsthat the phone ’s software will answer to an innovative gesture dominance that will allow you to angle the phone in various guidance — to the spot that BGR ’s sources suggest you do n’t involve to touch the phone at all to accomplish certain tasks . TechCrunch says this tilting gesturewill reveala hidden side panels .
Other specs
As with Amazon ’s Kindle Fire tablets , the Amazon smartphone will almost definitely run a fork-like version of Android . Under the hood it ’s reasonable to require a Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor and at least 2 GB of RAM . Amazon ’s latest fleet of Kindle Fire equipment is pretty powerful , and we ’d expect the same out of a sound .
Carrier
The WSJ reports that the newfangled headphone will be anAT&T exclusive , just like Amazon ’s Kindle Fire tablets . This would be just the latest big get for AT&T , which nab down the iPhone for three class after launching . good-for-naught Verizon mass .
Amazon Prime
look that an Amazon Prime rank to be require to get the most out of the telephone , much like with the Kindle Fire . Rumors even go so far asto suggest this phone might be devoid with Prime . That ’d be fairly half-baked , but we ’ll see .
Most of the reportscome from BGR , who nailed the redesign of the new Kindle Fire HDX tablets , so these leaks are probably passably honest . As for the Amazon Prime hook , all we can really be trusted of is that there is one . Whatever it is , Amazon ’s raw phone is reasonably much guaranteed to at least be interesting . And we ’ll see out exactly how on the 18th .
