Amazon is promising a battery life of 285 hours of standby time, 22 hours of talk time, 65 hours of audio and 11 hours of video playback.
One of The Fire’s best features is Firefly, The feature uses the phone’s camera to recognize books, DVDs, phone numbers, QR codes, URLs, games and more. It also uses the phone’s microphone to listen to songs. Once the device detects an item, by just a tap of a button, you can purchase it from Amazon.com.
The device also has a 3D interface. But unlike other 3D phones, that 3D interface follows you around using “Dynamic Perspective”. Dynamic Perspective uses four cameras, each with a 120-degree field of view and infrared.
