Amazon is reportedly working on a new smartphone project, internally named “Transformer,” marking a renewed push into the competitive mobile device market after the failure of its earlier Fire Phone.

According to sources familiar with the development, the device is being built within Amazon’s devices and services division and is envisioned as a highly personalized mobile hub powered by artificial intelligence. The new phone is expected to integrate closely with Alexa, enabling seamless interaction across services such as shopping, streaming, and communication.
The project reflects a long-standing vision of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to create a voice-driven ecosystem similar to futuristic computing assistants. The upcoming device may reduce reliance on traditional app stores by leveraging AI to perform tasks directly, potentially reshaping how users interact with mobile technology.
Industry insiders suggest the phone could enhance access to Amazon’s ecosystem, including e-commerce, Prime Video, and Prime Music, while also offering deeper personalization through user data integration.
However, the timeline, pricing, and final specifications of the Transformer device remain unclear, and sources caution that the project could still be shelved depending on strategic priorities.
Amazon’s previous attempt, the Fire Phone, was discontinued after just over a year due to poor sales and limited app support. The new initiative comes at a time when major tech players are racing to develop AI-powered hardware, intensifying competition in an already saturated smartphone market.
