The Fire Phone was a gamble that didn't pay off and Amazon realized they were stuck dominating the low-end of the mobile market and that couldn't include a smartphone with the expense of a cellular chip and licensing.
The Fire 11 is tempting as a tablet if it can run Android Playstore well enough. A decent spec compared to better Android tablets.
