For example, when opening the Maps feature and search for a restaurant, a digital map perspective changed every time the phone is tilted.
in fact, Fire Phone did not sell because it is difficult to use. Almost no good reviews anymore. The majority give recommendation of the star, which means, the phone is not worth buying. Many users who already bought it switch to using another phone.
Because did not sold, the giant e-commerce was even willing to slam the Fire Phone price of about USD 7-8 million to 99 cents or a dollar.
