Fire os 6 will debut with the next amazon fire tv

Last week, Amazon put on the table a slew of new Echo devices, as well as a new Fire TV with 4K HDR and support for Alexa, so it should come as no surprise that the new Android-based Fire OS 6 operating system, go unnoticed.

Fire OS 6 and its new features

According to the Amazon developer page, Fire OS 6 is based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat, which means that the new version will have the picture in picture (PiP) function, as well as the ability to record content on your television. In the same way, it will also include actions related to time-shifting that will allow users to pause, rewind, or advance content forward.

What is unknown at the moment is whether Fire OS 6 will support other features offered in Android Nougat, such as the multi-window feature, although hopefully the focus will continue to be on focusing on features that are specific to television.

As in previous versions, the new Fire OS 6 will also not include Google services. This means that you will not be able to use the Google Play Store, Gmail or other applications created by the giant Google.

Regarding the compatibility of the new version of Fire OS with the software, Fire OS 6 will debut on the recently announced Fire TV, however Amazon has stated that, “At this time, previous Fire TV devices will not upload to Fire OS 6. " Despite the initial blow to those who already own Amazon devices, the statement leaves the door open for a later update.

On the other hand, although Amazon has not commented on it, it is also likely that Fire OS 6 will spread to other devices, such as Fire tablets. And while, in Spain, we will have to wait for the company to decide to launch its new products also in our market.
