Amazon Phone leak shows 6 cameras and 3D display

Loie Favre

Loie Favre is a Canadian-German, food-loving, live-music-craving globe-trotter. Coming from a humble background in the Canadian Prairies centred around nature and the Arts, she studied Translation and Languages in Edmonton. She left his home on the Pacific Coast of Canada, to seek her fortune in Berlin. She is now an Editor and Manager for AndroidPIT.com and is enjoying discovering about everything and anything under the sun about Android.

There have been rumors surrounding the possibility of an Amazon phone in the making for quite some time now and it looks like we have some new hard evidence. The biggest surprises of all are the six cameras and a partial 3D display. What might seem like absurd rumors, might actually be true.

BGR was able to expose the first pictures of the supposed Amazon phone. Unfortunately the device was placed into a production case in order to not show the design, so we can’t say much about how it looks for the moment. The first thing we couldn't help notice though were not one, not two….but five front-facing cameras. Four of these have led to the rumor that this device will come allegedly with some 3D effects. What this exactly means and how far the feature will go is still yet to be discovered.

In terms of tech specs, at least one of the planned versions will come with 2 GB of RAM, a Snapdragon processor, a 720p display of 4.7 inches and a 13 MP main camera. Though this doesn’t say much, we are slightly taken aback by the meagre resolution considering the display was considered to be a central point in the creation of Amazon’s new phone. On the software side, it will without a doubt house the Firefox OS.

Further details will probably be dropped in the near future, but right now is a perfect time to ask you the readers the following question: do you think a 3D display (which actually isn’t a new feature) will be useful or rather a battery-draining gimmick?

Google Patents Tiny Cameras Embedded In Contact Lenses

Google has a new patent application with the USPTO (via 9to5Google), which takes one of the basic concepts of Glass and extends it even further, embedding tiny cameras that could be embedded in contact lenses for various uses, including photographing what a wearer sees, or providing the basic input for a contact-based assistive device for the visually impaired.

Google has previously detailed a plan to build smart contacts that measure blood glucose levels in diabetics to provide non-invasive, constant feedback to both a wearer and potentially their doctor, too. This new system describes uses that could also benefit the medical community, like using input from the camera to spot obstacles and alert a wearer who has vision problems as to their whereabouts. They could also offer up vision augmentation for people with all types of ocular health, and even act as a next-gen platform for a Glass-like computing experience.

Obviously, big tech companies patent stuff all the time, and only a fraction of that ever makes it to shipping products. Plus, wearing contacts is something that anyone who doesn’t have to likely won’t warm up to easily. Still, as an assistive device, and an alternative to other, more obvious gadgets and intrusive tech like hearing aids or cochlear implants, this could be a tech that has legs in the near future.
