Reuters said the phone is codenamed Transformer
AI integration is a “key focus” of Transformer, per Reuters’ sources, who said that Amazon wants the phone to drive usage of Amazon’s AI products
It’s unclear why Amazon thinks now is a good time to get back into phones. Even potentially low prices may not be enough to convince people to buy.
You ARE looking forward to this, right?
Don’t forget they gimped all their FireTV devices lately, you would have to be mad to buy an Amazon phone.
Wait, what did they do? Did I miss more bullshit?

Woof. Most of the reason to even get one of their devices was that it was cheap and you could sideload.
Guess theyre really trying to lose even more customers.
Ah damn it. I got a fire tv a few years ago bc I could side load apps onto it unlike a Roku tv. Hopefully they don’t take down smart tube at least :/
Yeah were kinda fucked ATP for “good” smart TV stuff. You could DIY it with an old PC or raspberry pi but unless we see a push for it from a major player (Like Graphene partnering with Motorola) itll probably be like this for the foreseeable future.
