Dynamic PerspectiveĪmazon’s big selling point is Dynamic Perspective, which uses four front-facing cameras to track the movement of the user’s head and create a simulated 3D view. Tilt scrolling gestures are inconsistently implemented, with no tilt scrolling in long lists in the App Store for instance. Amazon’s “Peek” feature shows additional information like star ratings on videos when tilting the phone to the side, but not every app has it making it hard to know that you’re missing something until accidentally tilting the phone. ![]() The side menus aren’t available in every app.Ī swipe up from the bottom acts as the back button, but can result in accidental scrolling. Sadly the gestures only work around 60% of the time becoming irritating quickly. Gestures play a heavy role invoking menus from the left and right sides with tilt actions, and the notification shake with a swivel action. The Fire OS software is also confusing with an inconsistent interface. Some of them have alternatives, others do not and cannot be used in any capacity on the Fire Phone. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, Pocket and the BBC iPlayer are all available, but the list of apps missing that I would normally have installed on a standard Android phone was more than 25 apps including Misfit, Gmail, Hangouts and Dropbox. The Fire Phone lacks access to Google Play, relying on Amazon’s App Store instead (which can also be installed and used on any other Android smartphone or tablet).
