Amazon has eventually extended its Kindle Fire line of devices to a smartphone. Around 3 years back, Amazon had launched the Kindle Fire Tablet with much fanfare for US$ 199 and soon followed it with the Kindle Fire 2 tablet. After almost a number of 3 years, Amazon has now launched the Fire Phone. The device runs Amazon’s own Fire OS (which is based on Android) – has 2GB of RAM and comes with a massive 32 GB storage for the basic models.
Prices start $199 onwards (with contract on AT&T) and the cost of the Amazon Fire Phone without any contract is US $649. Its not that, this announcement from Amazon has come as a surprise as Citigroup had predicted the launch of an Amazon Phone some 3 years ago but at a relatively cheaper price. You can buy the Amazon Fire Phone right from Amazon.com.
