Amazon has just introduced its first smartphone.



The online retailer is ready to take on Apple and Google with its new Fire Phone.



The smartphone has a 3-D, high-definition display.



Its "firefly" feature uses the phone's camera to recognize objects, telling users where to buy that product instantly on Amazon.



The Fire Phone will cost $199 with a two-year contract. It's being sold exclusively through AT&T and will be available next month.
