3D Display or Dynamic Perspective.
The main difference of this Smart phone from Amazon is the technology used for it’s display. As per Amazon, the display boasts a 3D effect which may be different from the existing 3D effects. Instead, Amazon is calling it as Dynamic Perspective where the display will show the depth of the screen. This depth perspective is available in Lock & Home Screen and Maps etc currently. 
In addition to that, Amazon is also releasing it’s SDK to the developers to take charge of this new dimension in the mobile display technology. To implement this Dynamic Perspective, Amazon uses 4 cameras in the front panel of the Amazon Fire Phone. Using this cameras, Amazon is tracking the user’s head and movements and according to that data, it redraws the entire screen very fast to give an illusion of depth to the customers. 
These 4 cameras are also equipped with infra red light which enables them to track the user face even in dark ambient. Also the cameras output will be judged by the processor and the best of 2 will be used for identifying the user head, to cop up with the situation that the user is blocking 2 cameras by their hand while in gaming and all. This 3D effect will give the users to concentrate on finer details in the edges of the pictures and map screens etc.
