The smartphone that Amazon is expected to announce on Wednesday will be available exclusively through AT&T, according to a report.

Amazon plans to start shipping the phone by the end of September, just in time for the holiday season, The Wall Street Journal reports. The article, which cites "people familiar with" Amazon's plans, did not provide details about pricing. Reps from Amazon and AT&T could not be reached for comment.

The device is expected to have a feature that emulates 3D without glasses. The phone uses retina-tracking technology embedded in four front-facing cameras or sensors to achieve that feat, according to an earlier Wall Street Journal report.

Amazon earlier this month announced the June 18 event, but the company didn't disclose any details. Sharp-eyed viewers, however, noted that the teaser video below appears to show the reflection of a phone's screen at one point.
