Amazon has explained why it moved to a new Vega OS for its Fire TV Stick 4K Select, moving away from the traditional Android-based interface.

Android 16 code tied to "purwa" is turning up in repo screenshots, and a follow-up "mahua" chip gets a mention. If it sticks, Android on Snapdragon X laptops could be closer than you think.
