We’ve heard whispers of an Amazon-branded smartphone for some time now but nothing has ever eventuated from those rumours. According to TheInformation though, there’s still a chance that this device might be happening in the near future. The news stems from a report that says Amazon is developing the smartphone under the name Project Aria and is planning to launch a device in the U.S., Latin America, Europe, and Asia later this year.
The report goes on to say that such an Amazon smartphone would be running Amazon’s own forked version of Android that we’re familiar with on the Kindle tablets. While Android purists will scoff at this eventuality, people who have already bought into Amazon’s ecosystem and extensive Amazon appstore might just jump at the chance to add a Amazon smartphone to that family.
Who would be interested in getting an Amazon smartphone? Do you think Project Aria is ever going to see the light of day? Let us know what you think in the comments.
