E-commerce giant Amazon also addresses the television world with its Fire TV series. Android-based Fire OS is used in these devices. However, Amazon may want to use its own system Vega OS instead of Fire OS.
Will Amazon Vega OS take Android’s seat?
According to a recent job posting, Amazon has revealed that it is trying to move away from Android. The company may be developing its own Vega OS system for Fire TV devices.
According to a job advertisement posted by Amazon at the end of last month and subsequently removed, the company was looking for engineers to change the Fire TV experience. This person would work on the transition from “FOS/Android” to a new Linux-based operating system. FOS refers to the Android-based Fire OS system.

The job description is looking for people to help with the transition from Android-based systems to Vega OS. This suggests that Amazon is aiming to introduce a new operating system called Vega OS, which has been rumored for some time.
Reports last year revealed that the Echo Show smart displays had stopped using Android. However, the company seems to want to expand its ecosystem by putting its own system on Fire TV devices.
Amazon is not the only company developing an in-house operating system. Huawei has HarmonyOS, while Vivo offers smartwatches with BlueOS. However, the most important shortcoming of the new operating systems is that they cannot use the wide range of applications of the Google Play Store. Let us remind you that Amazon has its own Amazon Appstore.
