The phone is reportedly being developed with Foxconn's help and will be a "mid-end" phone that does not use the latest and greatest chipsets. Instead the device will compete on price, similar to the Kindle Fire.

Amazon is also said to be integrating a NFC chip into the device that will connect to Amazon Payments.
