Amazon is said to be switching to a more traditional version of Android for the future fire. tabletBut it’s not a good news we want.
After the first Amazon Kindle Fire that started in 2011 Amazon Fire HD 8 (2024)The tablet of the retailer has been executed in the fork version of Android.
This means that Google’s mobile operating system runs only at the core of experience and is hardly recognized. There is no other advantage of the Google Play Store or the latest Android.
Now there is a new report Reuters Amazon claims that Amazon is changing its position, not the movement to the ‘proper’ Android we demanded.

Android fire
The News Outlets, founded, posted a report citing six people who were familiar with this topic, and Amazon insisted that it would abandon the fire OS of its own cultivation by preferring the more general Android OS.
According to the report, Amazon is studying Kitty Hawk, a new high -end tablet, which is used as a pencil for 2026 release. This new premium firefighting tablet runs in the Android version.
But this seems to be an open source version of the Google operating system. In other words, we still cannot access the company’s excellent app store without tinkering.

Why do you switch to Android?
Amazon’s simple approach to software seems to have maintained sales recently. Each fire device is essentially a glorious window of Amazon.com and related services.
Advanced Android tablets and (especially) Apple’s iPad have become more advanced and flexible for the past decade until the keyboard case can be operated as a superpackable laptop. Amazon’s firefighting device was not just maintained.
Amazon is currently the fourth largest tablet producer in the world, tends to sell cheap tablets that are close to manufacturing costs and are popular.
However, the market share of 8%is still far behind Apple’s 33.1%and even Samsung’s 18.7%. There is a limit to the cheap and cheerful approach of the company.
This new premium model is still $ 400 rumors, and it is unlikely that it will be mixed with the best iPad and Galaxy Tab models. However, it is about twice the cost of Amazon Fire Max 11 tablets.
