Amazon To Launch First Vega OS-powered TV Streaming Device This Year

Amazon is planning to release its first TV streaming device powered by Vega OS later this year, and is currently in talks with major publishers to bring their apps to the platform. Vega OS, a Linux-based operating system, may eventually replace Amazon's Android-based Fire OS across its device ecosystem. The company has already implemented Vega in some of its smart display and smart clock/speaker products, but has been more cautious in transitioning its TV hardware to Vega. A Vega-powered streaming stick was previously delayed from its original late 2024 release date, but Amazon is now moving forward with its plans.
