Amazon Fire Phone review roundup: A gimmicky mess, unless youre looking for a Buy Now button in the shape of a smartphone
2014-07-23 16:31:36| Extremetech
This morning, ahead of its July 24 release date, the internet was flooded with Amazon Fire Phone reviews -- and, rather unfortunately, they almost universally pan the smartphone for being gimmicky, ugly, sluggish, and low on battery life. A fair number of reviews go as far as calling the Fire Phone more of a prototype, and that you'd be better off waiting for the sequel. As expected, too, the fact that dozens of key apps are missing from the Amazon App Store makes the Fire Phone much less useful than an iPhone or Android smartphone.
