Amazon is reportedly working on a new phone built around Alexa

Amazon is reportedly developing a new smartphone, codenamed "Transformer," with a strong focus on its Alexa AI assistant. The device aims to simplify purchasing and media consumption through Amazon services and may bypass traditional app stores. The project is led by J Allard, former Xbox co-founder, and could result in both a traditional smartphone and a minimalist "dumbphone" model.
