TCL Appears to Be Amazon Fire TV OEM

TCL appears to be making the new Amazon Fire TV, we were told. The e-commerce giant unveiled the products Thursday and they include hands-free Alexa voice control via built-in mics. “It is common for TCL to provide both components and assembly for our branded TV competitors,” a spokesperson emailed. “However, the OEM side of our business operates with confidentiality agreements.” Amazon works with “a variety of suppliers and partners to source and build devices,” it emailed. The company also beefed up its Fire TV streaming media stick with new Alexa voice features, more power and a quad-core processor.
