Amazon today unveiled its first smartphone. The device is exclusive to AT&T and will set you back $199 (32GB) or $299 (64GB) on a two-year contract. On its site, the company is also listing the device for $649 (32GB) and $749 (64GB) without a service plan. Pre-orders start today and it’ll launch on July 25.

Amazon’s “Firefly” feature uses the camera to recognize physical objects — books, video games, food, household products and other items — and gives you the option to buy all that stuff instantly on Amazon. Bezos demonstrated with a collection of objects on a table.

Some key features

The Fire boasts a 13 MP camera sensor, and a fast f/2 aperture lens. There’s also optical image stabilization, like you might expect. Test photos shown onstage looked impressive, though we’ll reserve judgment until we can test the Fire’s camera ourselves.

It contains two stereo speakers with Dolby Digital, plus surround sound. And like Apple, Amazon is hoping you’ll use its peripherals along with its hardware. The Fire Phone is paired with earbuds that are supposedly tangle-proof, with flat cables and magnetic buds that stick together.
