      My first thought exactly. And amazon is like "hey pay me a thousand dollars and then you can buy more things easily!!"
      Seriously? This is an exclusive feature??

    People have to understand that its the first phone Amazon produces, further in the future, they will make better phones learning from the mistakes in this phone. It was the same thing with their first Kindle, its liked better every kindle they add and trust me, they're improving each day thanks to reviews of their items.

  • @rejects888
    @rejects888 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really surprised you didn't talk about the phone not having a back button. And you even said you found yourself "just pressing the home button and stating all over again." There's a gesture where you swipe from the bottom of the screen up, which is used as the "back button."

    They should have followed the Kindle Fire business model, Good hardware at a low price with some advertising. If this fire phone is focused on e-shopping on amazon and some 3d games it doesn't need all the potential of a Snapdragon 800, they could have use one Snapdragon 600 or less

  • @fitteezik1
    @fitteezik1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have this phone too. I literally took the phone apart trying to find the cause of it and, sure enough I found out that this phone bears so much setup software and apps load on it, that eventually the particular component on its circuit-board that regulates the On/Off switch gets damaged and destroys the ability of the phone to go beyond the amazon fire opening screen and causes the phone to behave like this. However, it also drains the battery really fast, and once a new battery heats up enough to pass on that heat to the damaged component, the phone will begin to restart again. However, this won't happen immediately. Once you put in a brand new Amazon battery in, it will run for 6 months, and then start this fiasco. So, you have to make a decision - for the sake of Amazon fire-phone's superb features, if you are prepared to spend USD 20-25 or PKR. 1,500 every 6 months, then by all means keep the phone. Otherwise, chuck it away - but remember, this phone is one of a kind. No other company has managed to come even close to making a similar phone - nor will they ever. So, it's your choice. As far as I am concerned, I am so attached to this phone that USD 25 every six months is tolerable. This issue is unavoidable, and it WILL happen sooner or later to every phone in this series. It is a technical certainty. Most people buy this phone and after a while get irritated because it doesn't have Android's standard features of Google Play Store and eventually they install a software called CYANOGENMOD which overwrites the Fire Technology software and turns it into a normal android phone like Samsung Galaxy etc. At the end of the day, its your phone, your choice what you want to do

  • @MrArthas96
    @MrArthas96 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    The reason this phone won't sell is because of the un-necessary complication of dynamic perspective. Samsung used to get flack for doing this kind of thing back in the S3/S4 days and you'd have thought Amazon would have caught onto the fact that adding complication to the UX ruins the UX. It's specced nicely but anyone knows that unless your phone is the beefiest phone around, the phone won't be sold on just specs. I think that for a second generation device, they need to lower the price down about $150, streamline and restrain dynamic perspective to only areas that make sense like in games rather than having it dominate every aspect of the OS and they may be on to a solid mid ranger

  • @shanghai_city

  • @Macity576

    Liked the basic spec concept. First half of this video almost got me, basic design, functionality and battery life are some of my priorities. But yea the hand flippy stuff isn't going to fly as I'm struggling to pull up a map as I'm driving. And seems like all the self prompting features jacked up the price quite a bit. Also can't help but to cringe at that kindle home screen..

    All these reviews say the samething just about. The only good thing that I got from this review that wasn't already said in the others is that with dynamic perspective, gaming is awesome, and that's an understatement! Speaking about games, which are apps, all reviewer and even all the tech sites, when the Fire Phone was first announced, all said that Amazon's Appstore is limited against the Google Play Store. Although limited in terms of quantity, what about in terms of quality?
    Games aside for a minute, there are several apps that do the same core thing as another app! The different calenders and calculator, email clients and VOIP apps, etc, etc, all do the samething as the next, maybe one does it better than the other! The Amazon Appstore might have 5 different calender apps as opposed to the 15 found on the Google Play Store.... do you really need 15 difference calender apps as opposed to the 5 available thru Amazon's store? I think the point that people are missing is that although the Google Play Store now, either matches iTunes Appstore or exceeds it in the number of apps, iTunes still has the higher quality apps and if your favorite and reliable app is found on the Google Play Store then 9 times out of 10 it was out first on iOS!
    So where does the Amazon Appstore fit in, in all this and why did I bring up iOS and the iTunes Appstore? Well lets go back to the games. Lili, for example, was an extremely popular game that came out when the regular iPhone 5 came out and it has long since been an exclusive to the iOS platform. That game is now available for Android but there's two catches here. One, you won't find it on the Google Play Store, two, you also won't find it just by downloading and installing the Amazon Appstore on any Android device, even if it matches or exceeds the specs, Snapdragon 800, Snapdragon 801, or even the upcoming Snapdragon 805! 2GB ram or 3GB ram, etc, etc. You will only find Lili on the Amazon Appstore via Amazon hardware! Keep in mind Lili was not specifically made for features like dynamic perspective like Tofu and Saber's Edge are! It's not made by Amazon's game studio! It's been available on iOS since late 2012! There's plenty of other examples of games that went from iOS to Android BUT ONLY ON Amazon's hardware, notably, their tablets! Batman, Walking Dead, Wolfs Among Us, etc! By the time the Google Play Store got Telltale Games' The Walking Dead The Game Season 1, the Amazon Appstore had Season 2, two to three months already!
    To me games are my favorite type of apps! I game via mobile more than console. The Amazon Appstore WITH Amazon hardware gets most of the iOS exclusives before you even knew they were even available for Android because they aren't even available on the Google Play Store which is the appstore by the creators of Android themselves, Google, but yet in this aspect they are actually bested! You can't even crack an Amazon Appstore game MADE for Amazon hardware and sideload it and play it on other Android devices with equivalent hardware as I stated above! What you can do though, is sideload Google Play Store apps and games to Amazon hardware WITHOUT root and 99% of the apps and games work! Amazon as created a version of Android that is still Android but with the quality and reliability of iOS! The reason why Fire OS is closed and is it's own eco-system is so it won't be hammered by Android's number 1 flaw, FRAGMENTATION!!!

      My thoughts exactly this dude thinks everything is over complicated because he's so used to the dumb down iPhone. And of course will never see josh do another review for some reason. I miss the days when companies were praised for their originality and new thoughts on how to do all things. If you're not playing copycat to the iPhone these days everything's too complicated and not user friendly. Don't think I'll be watching any more reviews from the verge especially since David Pearce seems to be the only one who gets any screen time anymore.

      How do you know what's going to become a major feature if you don't include it. If everyone had your type of thinking there wouldn't be any more innovations. Adding new features and seeing what sticks is the way you bring upon new features that people use on a daily basis. The simple fact is David Pierce doesn't like anything other than his iPhone if you go back and wash all his reviews its the same thing over and over again. He really only like the iPhone.

    • @jumpstart8159
      @jumpstart8159 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah. So why argue which one is "better" I wish people would stop arguing about which phone its better. The verge only does it because it will bring the clicd to their videos.
      The way I see it Apple does the research of what they thing will become a major feature in secret and then released it. Amazon and google bring the idea to the public first.
      The difference is that by bringing it first to the public before the company it self knows how it will become a major feature leaves a bad reputation if the idea don't materialize. Makes it look like the company doesn't have a goal. In Amazon case looks like they just added those feature but the main focus is to bring people to amazon shopping. They should focus on the end experience and the shopping will become naturally.

      Gerardo Gutierrez Not taking any sides but it is good that Amazon are trying something. You guys have to remember this is their first ever smartphone. So it isn't going to be great, far from it. Let them experiment and find what's best as I know the first time I made something like a cake, it was awful. But I continued to try until it actually tasted (and looked) like a cake. It will be good to see what amazon will do and who will copy them and vice versa.

    apart the ones that using google servises which are not that many!!! how to do it?
    1)open the browser.
    2)google the name of the app you want to install followed with .apk ex.
    snapchat.apk or
    TH-cam.apk download or
    uk motorcycle parking. apk or
    google maps .apk
    3) now download this file.
    4)using a file manager ( download one from amazon store) go and find the file you downloaded on your phone. is not that hard!! as soon as you find it at the fisrt place the rest of the files are going to be on the same place.
    5) click on the apk file and install the app. and thats it really.
    you can now delete the apk file. you can also download the apk files using your laptop. drug and drop the files to your phone and the run them. and they will be installed at your phone.
    quite str8 forward.
    i think you can install google play store with the same way but i havent done it yet just got the phone yesterday .
    ALL THE ANDROID APPS ARE AVAILABLE ON FIREPHONE!!!!!!!

    Let me get this across: when you say "It has about a day and a half of battery life" and then say "It's all good enough without ever standing out" you are doing something wrong for sure...

    I didn't know that Walkers was called Lays in America. I thought it was just Europe.

    If the phone had been under $350 off contract I would've bought it.
    $650 for a 720p display,last years snapdragon 800 chip and no google play services is what kills this phone.Considering our phones are our daily driver,you need a more advanced operating system and selection of apps.The kindle fires work great as entertainment devices because that's what people use tablets for but smartphones are so much more and at $650 this phone doesn't compare to today's smartphones.

      You are definitely right!! After some time they will have fixed their flaws and add new stuff!!
      Apple screwed up big time when they first made a phone and now they are very popular Amazon is just like them but with a whole lot more potential!!
