Amazon is making a major change to its Fire tablet lineup, as reports suggest that the company will be transitioning from its own Fire OS to using Android. This move is seen as a response to customer feedback and complaints about Fire OS, with Amazon expecting to see a boost in tablet sales as a result.
The first Fire tablet running Android is set to release next year at a price point of $400, marking a shift to a higher price range for the traditionally more budget-friendly Fire tablets. Amazon's switch to Android has been in the works for several years, and while this change is expected to be beneficial for the company, there will be a catch - the tablets will not come preinstalled with Google apps due to the use of open source Android.
