Amazon Fire Phone vs iPhone 6 comparison: Cheaper Fire Phone is great for watching and shopping, but not much else
Source: Tech Advisor EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Amazon Fire Phone and the iPhone 6 are both well-made handsets that offer decent performance. The iPhone is the better performer, as you might expect with the price difference. Beyond that we would recommend the iPhone if you want a phone that can be a productivity tool as well as a consumption and communication device. Go for the Fire Phone if you want to shop, shop, shop.

Much like the Kindle Fire tablets, the Fire Phone’s primary function is to act as a gateway to Amazon’s ecosystem. At times the device feels like a shopping basket masquerading as a smartphone - and one that's not built for enterprise usage. While there are plenty of software and hardware differences between the Fire Phone and its high-end Android rivals, none really offer the meat to compensate for the usability issues.

Amazon has had plenty of time to bring out a decent smartphone and certainly deep enough pockets to do its research. In many ways, the Fire phone is likable. The camera and hardware are solid and there are elements of the OS we started to appreciate. Android could do with a bit of streamlining in places.

Amazon Fire Phone review - a so-sweet gateway drug to Amazon Prime
Source: Tech Advisor EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Even though you can get it free on contract, the Fire phone isn't as cheap as we had expected. For a similar contract price, or even when bought SIM-free, you could have a flagship Android phone such as the LG G3. If you're comparing specifications, the Fire phone looks distinctly mid-range.

It just doesn’t make a great deal of sense for most people. Its key feature, that array of front cameras, is spectacularly pointless after the first five minutes. And while some may claim it’s a simpler and more accessible alternative to other Androids, we found it a good deal trickier to get on with. It’s not that simple, it’s not intuitive, and the alternatives it offers for Google’s app suite just aren’t as good.

60% Amazon Fire phone review: 2014's quirkiest smartphone
Source: Tech Advisor EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
For roughly the same money, you could have a flagship Android smartphone or for a little more per month on contract, a brand new iPhone. If you're looking purely as specs, the Fire phone is fairly mid-range. The deal is sweetened by a year of free Amazon Prime, though, which would otherwise cost you £79 and includes next-day delivery and the Instant Video streaming service. So the Fire phone has a few things going for it, but asking people to get to grips with a new operating system, deal with the limited app store and still pay top dollar for it is a bold move indeed. Ultimately, the safe option is to plump for an Android device such as the LG G3.

Amazon would have you think the Fire Phone is a mobile revolution, a complete rethink of how an Android smartphone should be made. It’s not: it’s just another phone with a so-so build that seems to do things differently just to spite Google rather than to help customers. Nor is it the affordable option the company would have you believe, at £399 on Pay As You Go. Unless you really need Mayday, the similar-sized Motorola Moto G represents much better value, and still lets you use Kindle and the Amazon Appstore on the go.

Ultimately, the Amazon Fire Phone is a deeply frustrating and woefully misconceived handset. Apart from being a cynical money-making machine for Amazon, its clunky OS is difficult to use and offers no benefit over Android or iOS. The Dynamic Perspective display is a needless gimmick and its Firefly camera isn't good enough to rival services elsewhere. It's also expensive, even if you do get a free year of Amazon Prime thrown in as a vague sweetener. It's not broken per se, but you should avoid this at all costs.

50% Is Amazon's foray into the smartphone space a success?
Source: Techradar EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Amazon's Fire Phone is a decent attempt at selling more Amazon goods and services, but it's hardly a smartphone worth considering if you're not already invested in Amazon's ecosystem. If you're looking for flexibility in an operating system (customization, great apps, etc.) and you want top-end specs to boot, consider an Android flagship smartphone or older iPhone. They cost the same as the Fire Phone.

A Dynamic Perspective
Source: Hot Hardware EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
From a design standpoint, it’s a sharp smartphone. It’s understated and classy, with minimal branding and a solid feel. The 4.7-inch display should’ve been a 1080p panel (as it stands, the native resolution is pegged at 1280 x 720), but at least Amazon is including a full 32GB of internal storage on its base model. Unfortunately, the phone is only available through AT&T, which complicates things further.

Tested In-Depth: Amazon Fire Phone

We were curious when Amazon announced their Fire phone, and intrigued by the Dynamic Perspective and Firefly features that Amazon claims sets its handset apart from other flagship smartphones. So we bought a Fire phone to test and show you how those features work--or rather, how they don't really work well. Here's why we couldn't wait to return this phone for a refund after testing.

Amazon takes this to an entirely new level with the Fire Phone, to the point that if you're shopping and content consumption habits do not revolve around Amazon.com Kindle, Prime Video, Amazon MP3, and you have no intentions of that becoming the case, it’s very difficult to recommend the Fire Phone. At times the device appears like a handheld personal shopping tool that just happens to have cellular capabilities.

Amazon Fire Phone deep-dive review: Two weeks with a weird device
Source: Computerworld.com EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
I could go on and talk about all the standard smartphone measures -- the Fire Phone's performance is somewhat choppy, its battery life is on the lower end of average, its call quality is fine and its camera is pretty decent -- but at this point, all of that seems rather inconsequential. There are just so many fundamental things wrong with this device that, for most people, it's impossible to recommend. The Fire Phone is ultimately a collection of random ideas that don't come together to create any type of cohesive or compelling user experience. Its operating system is confusing and difficult to use, its Dynamic Perspective feature is gimmicky and counterproductive and its prominent integration with Amazon makes it feel more like a pushy salesperson than a user-focused tool.

Dynamic Perspective and Firefly are interesting features that will only get better with more supported apps and when more products are added into Amazon’s analysis database. I expect those features to improve greatly by the time Fire Phone 2 and 3 roll around. But right now, the rest of Fire OS 3.5 drags the Fire Phone down.

That said, there’s certainly a lot to like here. Those who value fresh ideas, those not bullied into demanding conformity by the overwhelming cynicism of the jaded tech world, will appreciate the freshness the Fire Phone brings to a slowly stagnating space. For reading, for shopping, for existing within Amazon’s special corner of the internet, it literally doesn’t get any better than this. And for everything else … well, there’s always version two.

If you have never played with an Amazon device before, the Fire Phone will take you a while to master. It's an average looking phone with a couple nifty tricks either meant to sell you things or dazzle your eyes, but other than that, it's nothing worth bragging about. Keep in mind Amazon has an agenda: it wants to sell more goods and push Prime. And the Fire Phone is the company's latest way of achieving that goal. Despite a gazillion sensors and Dynamic Display to get you all excited about the idea of using the Fire Phone as your everyday device, Amazon only really cares about whether you use the Firefly app to buy stuff on Amazon.com.

Amazon Fire Phone review: Give this Fire time to grow
Source: Greenbot EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
This is a phone for Amazon’s whales, the very top customers. Just like how you had to be an Apple die-hard to pay $600 for the first-gen iPhone, this first Fire Phone will be the most tempting for people all-in with Amazon for everything from shopping to ebooks to TV shows. Even though this is a respectable first showing, I think Amazon will keep improving both the design and the software polish, and hopefully the Appstore will mature at the same time. Then the Fire Phone has the potential to go from a phone to delight Prime customers to a delightful phone that will make new Prime customers.

If you want a new smartphone, do yourself a favor and browse the handsets in our latest Smartphone Comparison Guide and Phablet Comparison Guide. Very few of them cost more than the Fire Phone, and many cost less. I'd recommend every single one of them ahead of this head-scratching debut from Amazon.

Can the Amazon Fire Phone Take on iPhone and Samsung?

The Amazon Fire phone is perfectly suited for people heavily invested in the company’s ecosystem, and who like to use their smartphones one-handed, as long as they like AT&T. But to top Apple and Samsung, Amazon needs to do better.

You buy iPhones for the ease-of-use, the app ecosystem, and the design language. You buy Android phones for the freedom of choice and the tinkerability. You’d buy this phone for the free Amazon Prime and a quick fix for shoppin’ fever. It’s not a bad phone, it just isn’t in the same league as a top-tier Android phone or iPhone. When you look past its purchasing powers and its fringe benefits—which can’t be ignored—what you have left is a relatively unexciting handset.

Amazon Fire Phone review: The shopper’s smartphone
Source: Slashgear EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Instead, it's left to features like Dynamic Perspective and Firefly to sell the Fire Phone, and while they're clever, they're not yet convincing must-haves. In a way, it feels like Amazon tried to make its smartphone too many things: both a smaller gateway to its virtual aisles for your pocket, and a feature-pushing flagship differentiated on more than just software and services. The Amazon Fire Phone is good, but it's neither the home-run nor the game-changer that many were expecting.

When is Amazon coming out with a phone? That question has been answered, but after having tested the phone, I have a new one: Why? The Fire phone has some clever innovations and a nice design, but at the moment, there's not much that would compel me to switch from either Android or iOS.
