Amazon's OS has been updated several times, but don't know if most current version is based on a later version of Android.

By the way, anyone (such as myself) who was considering purchasing this and trying to root it might want to reconsider, at least temporarily. If the phone is running Fire OS 3.6.8 downgrading is causing problems, according to some people at XDA. Basically they now have phones that don't work and at this point there is no way to go back to Fire OS 3.6.8. No 3.6.8. image is available yet. Someone downgraded to a much earlier version and said phone worked, but can't register it with Amazon.
