E-readers, tablets, and now phones — Amazon’s got a fancy new smart phone. 

Here’s what you need to know:

  • The phone is called Fire Phone.
  • They'll be available at the end of July $200 with a two year AT&T contract exclusively on AT&T.
  • It’s got a 4.7 inch screen which Amazon is touting as great for one-handed use. For comparison’s sake, the iPhone has a 4 inch screen; the Samsung Galaxy S5 has a 5.1 inch screen.
  • The screen is a sort of 3-D type screen that Amazon calls dynamic perspective(shown in video).
  • The phone comes with unlimited photo storage. You'll never have to worry about deleting photos; they’re backed up to Amazon’s cloud drive storage service.
  • Point the camera at a real world product and the phone will recognize it and believe it or not, let you buy that product from Amazon.
