They include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/208016\/amazon-apuesta-fuerte-por-su-nuevo-asistente-de-voz-alexa.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alexa+<\/a> integration to make the most out of the Artificial Intelligence assistant from Amazon. However, abandoning Android also has drawbacks. For example, the loss of the sideloading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/170162\/amazon-takes-over-the-streaming-game-with-free-ad-supported-fire-tv-channels.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">feature for Fire TV devices<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Amazon-Fire-TV-Vega-OS-experience.webp\" alt=\"The new Vega OS features for Fire TV devices from Amazon\" class=\"wp-image-176645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Amazon-Fire-TV-Vega-OS-experience.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Amazon-Fire-TV-Vega-OS-experience-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Amazon-Fire-TV-Vega-OS-experience-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Amazon-Fire-TV-Vega-OS-experience-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Vega OS Fire TV and the changes they bring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazon wants to offer a faster and customizable experience for the <strong>new Fire TV with Vega OS models<\/strong>. The full <strong>integration of Alexa+<\/strong> allows for petitions using natural language and voice. The system also makes recommendations and suggestions taking the user preference as basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if the user asks Alexa+ to recommend a series after watching Dune: The Prophecy first season, the system can recommend another program with similar characteristics. Then you can ask Alexa+ for a customized search by saying something like \u201cNo, I want something fun for all the family\u201d.&nbsp; The AI will learn about your preferences but you can also interact with natural language to ask for specific things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>full integration with the Amazon ecosystem<\/strong> also allows asking the TV to turn off the lights of the room when watching TV, for example. Alexa was able to do this already but now you can do it all in one order. \u201cPlay an episode and turn off the lights\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changes with Vega OS Fire TV and compatible apps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Amazon the Vega OS experience is faster and more efficient than Android. It also runs with less resources because it only asks for 1 GB of RAM. It\u2019s compatible with the most popular streaming services such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube, HBO Max and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What happened with the sideloading feature?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>sideloading feature<\/strong> allowed for the installation of apps from external sources like other Android devices. Vega OS won\u2019t have sideloading enabled but the Amazon operating system is more fluent. This is not good news because there are several unofficial apps that you could enjoy from the Fire TV Android models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the moment,<strong> Amazon launched only one Fire TV model with Vega OS. It is the Fire TV Stick 4K Select<\/strong> and it costs 40 dollars in the United States of America market. It will reach Spain but the date is still unknown. On the other hand, Amazon will introduce more Vega OS devices in the near future. The idea of the company is to bring a new user experience that won\u2019t require Android to run. It\u2019s a new step for the Amazon technological environment in separating itself from Google and the Android ecosystem. Time will tell if the decision is right or wrong and what the community wants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon announced the evolution of the Fire TV devices with the new Vega OS experience.
