According to the report Amazon is developing two smartphones one with 3D capabilities and functions with out needing glasses to view the 3D content.

Amazon is using a retina-tracking technology that makes images on the smartphone to float above the screen and they will be visible three dimensionally from all the viewing angles. Amazon wants to stand out from the crowd and so developing a smartphone with 3D capability, while 3D phone stand out from competitors it wont appeal to most of the folks.
