Amazon’s Panos Panay addresses new Fire phone rumors

Amazon's head of devices and services, Panos Panay, says that the company is "not necessarily" planning to release a smartphone, but has stopped short of denying it outright.

It was previously reported that Amazon is developing an Alexa-enabled AI phone codenamed "Transformer," more than 10 years after it scrapped its ill-fated Fire Phone. Speaking to the Financial Times, Panay was asked directly if the company was planning another smartphone.
