We all know how popular Amazon’s Kindle and Kindle Fire devices have been and still people love to get one of those due to their amazing features and low prices. Of course when Amazon entered the tablet market, it was just a matter of time when they started working on their own smartphones as well. We have been hearing various rumors about the company working on a smartphone and now we have heard latest report that has confirmed that Amazon is already producing its own smartphone and it will be released in the middle of 2013.
Currently, we already know that Samsung and Apple are the top smartphone manufacturers of the world and their flagship devices go head to head in the market. But when the Kindle Fire tablet was first launched by Amazon last year, it made new sales records. So, after that when Amazon will bring its own smartphone, we can really expect some surprises from the company.
In the recent times, the technology has been progressing at a very fast pace and almost every other big company is entering the mobile market. So, it would not surprise us if Amazon also enters the big race of smartphones by releasing its new device. But according to the latest report from Taiwan Economic News, we have found out that the smartphone from Amazon is already under production at Foxconn factories. Foxconn is currently producing the units in high quantity as Amazon has ordered the China based manufacturer to deliver 5 million units of the new device. Keeping in mind the prices of Kindle Fire, it is highly expected that the price of Amazon smartphone will lie somewhere between $100 and $200.
We all know that Amazon’s most of the consumer base is due to its affordable and reasonable pricing of its products and the company even took loss by selling the original Kindle fire at a low cost to promote the product. It seems like Amazon does not care about getting high revenues from the sale of the devices, but Amazon usually get their desired revenue by selling online content to all those new users which is a brilliant idea.
Amazon was the manufacturer that brought the revolution in the tablet market by bringing a low cost tablet and then Google and Apple had to follow its lead and now this new smartphone from the company will also be able to make some big changes in the current scenario of mobile industry.
