Short Review

  • The Amazon Fire Phone features a compact design with dimensions of 139.2 x 66.5 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 160g, making it easy to handle.
  • Its 4.7-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 312 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
  • Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset and a quad-core 2.2 GHz CPU, the phone delivers decent performance alongside 2GB of RAM.
  • The 13 MP rear camera includes optical image stabilization and can record video at 1080p, while the 2.1 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
  • The 2400 mAh battery provides moderate usage time but does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Amazon Fire OS 3.5, which is based on Android, the software is tailored for Amazon services and can be upgraded to 3.6.5.
  • Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
  • The device is equipped with stereo speakers and a headphone jack, enhancing audio capabilities.
  • Overall, the Fire Phone combines a solid build with functional features, though it may not compete with more advanced smartphones in the market.
