As soon as the Fire Phone with a total of six cameras appeared, it caused widespread discussion and surprise, not to mention the aura of Amazon's first smartphone. Although its hardware configuration is slightly inferior, Fire Phone seems to have built an interesting future with 3D dynamic perspective, Fire OS and Amazon's content resources.

Fire Phone is not Amazon's first hardware product. Amazon has launched several Kindle series e-book readers and Fire series tablets before, and has accumulated some experience in hardware products. From the perspective of naming, Fire Phone also has a certain kinship with the Fire series.

Fire Phone's packaging design continues Amazon's consistent style, or Fire Tablet style. It is simple and compact with a sense of technology, which is what packaging gives me. Of course, the hardness of the package is OK. Even if it is transported directly for a long distance, it can ensure the safety of the Fire Phone.

Compared with the shrinking accessories of most smart phones, Fire Phone seems to have a lot of conscience. The Fire Phone comes with a charging head, a data cable and a long lost headset.

The headset of the Fire Phone is also intended to be interesting. In my opinion, this headset combines Plam and Apple's genes. In addition to the familiar appearance, the back of the Fire Phone headset can also be connected by magnetism.

From that point of view, the appearance design of the Fire Phone is not too special. The square and square rectangular design and the double-sided glass on the front and back are very familiar. Of course, the Fire Phone has many cameras, which makes people feel a bit dense.

In addition to the common front and rear cameras, the Fire Phone also has a camera in four corners of the front. These four cameras are the biggest selling point of Fire Phone, called 3D dynamic perspective. The dynamic perspective is tracked by multiple cameras and corresponding software on the Fire Phone, and is refreshed 60 times per second. By tracking the viewing angle of users, it forms a naked eye like 3D effect.

In fact, the overall design of the Fire Phone is relatively masculine. Although the five front cameras are intimidating at first sight, once accepted, it is still fun. Instead, it will blame the front camera for breaking the symmetry. In fact, Fire Phone is an Android phone in essence, but there is only one physical key as the Home key. Of course, Fire Phone is not a pure Android system, and gesture operation designed by the system can also make up for it.

Interestingly, in addition to the volume key, the Fire Phone also has a shutter key, which is quite interesting. The volume key and shutter key are designed on the left side, which is very easy to handle with one hand. Of course, the design of the shutter key of the Fire Phone is mainly to facilitate the operation when holding with one hand, while when holding with two hands to shoot, using the shutter key will basically block the camera.

On the top of the Fire Phone are the headphone hole, speaker and power button.

At the bottom of the Fire Phone is the mirco USB interface, the mic on the left pretends to be a speaker, and the right is really a speaker. The Fire Phone is a mobile phone with two speakers, and it is very interesting to design, one at the top and one at the bottom. This design makes the Fire Phone experience quite good in horizontal screen viewing. Of course, the design of dual speakers also makes the external display of the Fire Phone quite bright.

You can see where the Fire Phone cameras are located.

Generally speaking, the Fire Phone is familiar with the appearance design, but the side is round and the double-sided glass is comfortable to hold even if it is slightly thicker. Although the overall design is not stunning and beautiful, it also belongs to the category of eye-catching. Of course, the design of double-sided glass is doomed to scratch after a long time of use.

Before introducing the interface design, let's talk about the 3D dynamic perspective of Fire Phone. It has been introduced above that the 3D dynamic perspective of Fire Phone is to track user actions with the help of the camera, thus forming a naked 3D feeling. Of course, this function also needs system and image support, which roughly means that three-dimensional icon design is required to have a corresponding feeling, while single graphic design is very boring.

And what is the actual effect? You can take a look at the two pictures above to make up the actual effect. In my personal opinion, this 3D dynamic perspective can also be achieved through the built-in gyroscope of the mobile phone. Even if the Fire Phone is still and flat, it can detect the action through the camera, so as to track the dynamic.

In terms of interface design, Fire Phone uses its own Fire OS, of course, the bottom layer is Android. And the Fire OS, under the control of Amazon, also continues its own design style, which is easy for Amazon users to get started. A large number of animations or details in Fire OS consider the role of dynamic perspective, and the overall visual effect is quite interesting. Whether it is good or not is another matter.

Fire OS has no function of task manager, or is integrated on the desktop. The Fire OS desktop is very interesting. In addition to the icon display, it also displays the corresponding settings and content. As shown in the figure above, the captured image is displayed to other icons or other settings. Of course, this function can only be paired with corresponding development.

Of course, Fire OS can install all kinds of applications, and uses the secondary program design. All the pre installed applications are redesigned to adapt to the dynamic perspective. And the programs of Fire OS are also divided into CLOUD and DEVICE, which are actually cloud based and local applications. Of course, from the built-in design applications, Fire Phone is to better guide users to Amazon.

Fire OS has a lot of gestures, such as sliding from the left and right screens to the inside, there will be corresponding menu displays, and the overall single hand operation is quite comfortable. Of course, the various pre installation and convenience of Fire Phone are all for better shopping guidance, so it is not a loyal and heavy user of Amazon, in fact, it is unnecessary to choose.

In fact, the various interfaces of the Fire OS are a little bit like the Metro UI, and the large font display is very recognizable. Of course, the users targeted by Fire Phone are Amazon buyers, and they are in the United States, so Fire OS does not have Chinese, and some services cannot be used, so it still feels a bit awkward to use.

The Fire Phone uses a 13 megapixel rear camera, and basically has no functions, except for an HDR.

In terms of the actual samples taken, Fire Phone is relatively good. First of all, the focus and shutter of the Fire Phone are very fast, and the exposure is accurate, but the white balance is relatively general.

As you can see, the performance of Fire Phone is not mentioned above. In addition to the more general configuration of Fire Phone, it uses a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, 2G RAM, and a 4.7 inch 720P resolution, which does not have much potential. In terms of simple use, the Fire Phone may have obvious heating sensation due to the design of double-sided glass and optimization problems, and the battery life of 2400mAh is also relatively ordinary.

In fact, Fire Phone is not a phone designed for a wide range of consumers. It is designed to better guide users to Amazon's website and make better consumption. Of course, Amazon is not a traditional hardware manufacturer, but relies on its powerful content resources and better shopping guide.

The stunt of six cameras and 3D dynamic perspective can only be regarded as a general thing. Fire Phone didn't attract more people to choose because of this feature, but of course it was born to provide a more intuitive look and feel on Amazon. In general, Fire Phone was born to let you buy better.
