• Amazon is reportedly working on a higher-end Android tablet codenamed Kittyhawk.


• Sources claim that the company is tossing around the idea of a $400 price tag.


• It’s said there are still plans to launch some lower-priced tablets that run on Vega OS, but its full slate will eventually be powered by a version of Android.

Many of Amazon’s products use a forked version of Android called Fire OS. However, the company has long been trying to separate its products from Google’s operating system by developing a Linux-based OS known as Vega. While it seemed that Amazon would eventually ditch Android, a new report suggests the opposite.

According to Reuters, Amazon is working on a new higher-end tablet codenamed Kittyhawk. Given that the online retail giant tends to try to undercut competition by offering cheaper hardware, this comes as a bit of a surprise. What’s more surprising is that this tablet will reportedly use the open source version of Android instead of Fire OS or Vega OS.
