Amazon’s Fire Phone is officially here, and you can pre-order the beast from AT&T right now! The Fire Phone will begin shipping and land in stores on July 25th, and will be available in a 32GB or 64GB model. While the specs of the Fire Phone parallel those of flagship Android smartphones out today, the big deal with the Fire Phone is how it seamlessly ties into almost all of Amazon’s services and the phone’s 3D visual effects, known as Dynamic Perspective. Dynamic Perspective is powered by four sensors located on the front corners of the smartphone and one front-facing camera. The Fire Phone also includes Firefly, Amazon’s personal assistant of sorts which can identify books, signs and text to help you find the product or place you are searching for.
