Native, Amplified
summary
Amazon launches Vega OS with React Native in OS and Hermes linked into the system runtime, saving 10–12 MB per app and enabling shared libraries across apps. Vega runs React Native 0.72 with the new architecture, ports ~40 popular libraries (about 80% of RN core), and yields 30% better resource efficiency on Echo Show devices. A 1 GB Vega Fire TV Stick ships as the fastest 4K stick under $40 and delivers noticeably smoother UI via C++ components and a fast image pipeline.
