Amazon Develops New Alexa-Centric Smartphone Named Transformer

Amazon is developing a new smartphone codenamed "Transformer" centered on its Alexa assistant, Reuters reported, with work underway in the ZeroOne group led by J Allard. The team is exploring both smartphone and minimalist "dumbphone" designs inspired by the Light Phone and may rely on mini apps instead of a full app store; no release date or price has been announced.
