Amazon Develops New Smartphone Facing Market Headwinds

Amazon is reportedly developing a new smartphone, its first since 2014, internally called "Transformer", Reuters reported, with the device designed to sync across Alexa devices and center Amazon shopping across services. IDC warns the move faces steep competition from Apple, Samsung, and Chinese OEMs and expects the smartphone market to contract 13% in 2026, making timing and execution significant risks for Amazon and its ZeroOne hardware unit.
