Amazon's voice-assistant Alexa is coming to its first phone ever

Amazon's voice-assistant Alexa is coming to a smartphone for the first time.

That's according to a billboard, $4, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) currently being held in Las Vegas. 

The billboard says the Chinese smartphone maker Huawei's Mate 9 will be the "first smartphone with Amazon Alexa," adding it'll be available on January 6 through Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, and B&H.

The announcement is a big move for Alexa, which first gained popularity through Amazon's speaker device Echo. Amazon has been aggressively pushing for Alexa to become more widely used in other devices, like $4 and $4, under the goal of making it a broader platform.

Amazon's representative wasn't immediately available for comment.

Here's the photo of Huawei's billboard, shared through Boxall's Twitter account:
