Dynamic Perspective also follows a users eyes and has four cameras on each corner.

Users can scroll up and down web pages, hail app menu options and view alerts via tilting the phone.

Fire has 12 months of prime service for free. For US$99, users can stream thousands of songs and movies.

On the other end, Fire is quite heavy due to the four cameras up front. It weighs 5.6 ounces and is heavier than Samsung Galaxy S5.
