Amazon is replacing Android with its own software on these products
Amazon is reportedly developing its own operating system called Vega to replace Android on its hardware products. The transition is expected to begin with Fire TV devices. The latest Echo Show 5 already runs on Vega OS, while the Echo Show 8 still uses Fire OS. Amazon's new OS will give the company more control and the ability to generate more advertising revenue. However, there are concerns that power user features may be removed and developers will have to create new versions of their apps for the new platform.
