The nascent operating system was previously expected to debut on a streaming adapter (like the Amazon Fire Stick) in late 2024, but the company's guidance for developers suggested it was also working on an Android 14-based version of Fire OS.

Amazon's Fire OS might continue to arrive on its smart TVs for a while, based on the recent developer documentation for the Android 14-based Fire OS, and the company could eventually replace it with Vega OS.
