While Amazon has been quite successful with it’s Kindle e-readers and Kindle Fire tablets, it has been rumored since long that the company will foray into the smart phone segment as well.
Now, according to a latest report, Amazon is working on not one, but two smart phones, one of which will be a high-end 3D smart phone, featuring a glassless 3D display. The smart phone will use a retina-tracking technology, using which the 3D image on the smartphone will refocus as per the movement of user’s eyes, allowing users to easily view content in 3D at all angles.
Using the same retina tracking technology, users will be able to navigate through content on the smart phone, just like we’ve seen on the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Interestingly, the report says that the two smart phones are only a part of the larger hardware push by the company, which also plans to introduce an audio-only streaming device. Other than that, Amazon is also building a set top box for streaming movies and TV shows.
The report adds that Amazon plans to introduce the new devices in the coming months, but says that some or all these devices might also be dropped pertaining to issues related to the performance of these devices or other financial reasons.
If Amazon does introduce it’s own smart phone, it will bring the company in a direct competition with the likes of Apple and Google.
