The Amazon Phone Looks to be Set for a June 18th Announcement in Seattle

Speculation and rumors surrounding an apparent Amazon phone have popped up a number of times over the last two years or so. There have been leaked images that depict an Amazon centric and branded device along with various supply chains confirming its existence. The last few Amazon events were speculated to include an announcement of said device, but have all come up short with just some new tablet announcements.

It would appear that that is all about to change though. Amazon is having an event on June 18th in Seattle.

See. There is clearly a device in the image with the Amazon branding on what we would assume is the rear of the device. You could claim it is another tablet, but the video they offer up will show you something different. Take a look for yourself.

Did you see the lady at theÂ 41 second marker? Right at the very bottom of the screen, you can see she is looking at a small form factor, much smaller than a 7-inch tablet, device. Pretty certain at this point that it is the Amazon phone that has eluded the world for so long. Aaron Kasten snagged the perfect still of what I am referring to.

Now, what is all the head twisting and turning about? Well, the previous chatter indicated that the device would bring a total of 6 camera sensors that will enable the device to offer a 3D interface when you are looking at it. Pretty nifty idea really. Rounding out the leaks the device was said to offer a 4.7-inch 720p screen, a Qualcomm processor, 2GB of RAM and a 13MP rear camera. There has also been a fair amount of talk about it launching with certain Prime Data plans and that it will be an AT&T covered device. However, memory serves me that June 18th is also the date that T-Mobile is set to announce the Uncarrier 5.0 information. I am wondering if it will come right along side the Amazon phone as well.

Sadly all of this is rumor and speculation until June 18th gets here. It is pretty obvious that Amazon is announcing the Amazon phone though.
