This Fire Phone has a thickness of 8.9 mm and weighing 160 grams , so not a big deal with little weight or thickness, if we compare it with other smartphones in the market.

The IPS screen is a 720p resolution is 4.7 inches. While it is not particularly interesting in the world of FHDs, we will have to look at the brightness of 590 bits which improves screen visibility in outdoors.The same protection is provided by Gorilla Glass 3 for additional protection.

The camera, another essential element in today’s smartphone, promises a lot. Firefly packs a sensor which has a resolution of 13 megapixels , with f/2.0, with five-element lens and integrated optical stabilization. Video recording is 1080p at 30 fps, while the front camera offers a resolution of 2.1 megapixels.

Mysterious 3D mode

Many of the expectations surrounding this Fire was the Phone interface. There was talk of a 3D mode and multiple cameras and sensors have finally been reduced to the feature called Dynamic Perspective by Amazon. Generally we are talking about the possibility of having a sense of three-dimensionality on the screen. This 3D effect is achieved by changing the perspective of objects depending on from where you look at the screen. How does the mobile know where we look? There are four cameras/sensors in the corners , with very low power consumption. These sensors are able to detect where the user is looking, even in the dark-and display screen elements depending on the viewing angle, giving true three dimensional effect. In addition it also serves to scroll through gestural commands and also while tilting the phone.
