Report: Amazon is working on an AI-powered phone
Amazon is reportedly taking another shot at phones, this time with an AI-focused device. Reuters says the company is developing a handset built around its Alexa+ chatbot and newer generative AI tools, as it tries to regain ground in a market where it once had a head start with Alexa smart speakers but failed to keep pace.
The project comes more than a decade after the Fire Phone flopped. This new model is said to be positioned less as a conventional smartphone and more as an "anti-smartphone" in the vein of the minimalist Light Phone, leaning on AI to handle tasks while dialing back the usual app-heavy experience. Details on hardware, release timing, and pricing are still unclear.
