Amazon’s iPhone competitor reportedly has six different cameras

Amazon has been rumored for years to be making its own smartphone, but now, according to reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it’s actually going to happen. But the weirdest thing isn’t that Amazon’s planning on releasing a smartphone… it’s that they are going to release a smartphone with six cameras per unit. What what? According to Kuo, Amazon will launch its own smartphone with the next three to six months, and will ship roughly 300,000 to 600,000 units to start.

After years of rumors, Amazon will finally launch an own brand smartphone within the next three to six months. So says KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, whose reputation for accurately revealing device vendors’ plans long before they are announced definitely precedes him. Kuo is widely known for his Apple research, which is easily the most accurate in the world among Apple analysts. For the past few years, the industry watcher has delivered accurate early details surrounding nearly every major product Apple has launched. He also covers Samsung on occasion, and now his sights are set on Amazon and its suppliers as well.
