Amazon's rumoured smartphone could be controlled by tilting

Amazon's rumoured smartphone can reportedly be controlled by tilting it back and forth to reveal menus, according to latest claims.

While previous reports suggested that the rumoured Amazon device would come with cameras and sensors, recent claims hint that even though the phone runs Android software, the various cameras and sensors will enable users to control the phone in new ways, CNET reports.

Rumours also suggest that icons in some apps will appear unlabelled until the phone is tilted.

Meanwhile, in apps that display a list of results, a slight tilt will reveal ratings for the items in the list.
