Android Q Gets an Official Name and It’s not a Dessert This Time!
Well, if you are a huge fan of the Android operating system, then you might know that Google always names its Android products after desserts like Android Marshmallow, Android Nougat, Android Pie, etc. Since Android Q is around the corner, Android enthusiasts have been trying to jot down the names of desserts starting with Q.
However, Google just broke the 10-year history of naming Android releases after desserts. On Thursday, Google officially announced the name of its next version of Android. Google has now decided to keep things simple and relatable for global users by naming their Android version names as Android 10, Android 11, and so on.
So, Android Q is now Android 10. The company in a blog post said “we’ve heard feedback over the years that the names weren’t always understood by everyone in the global community”
Sameer Samat, VP of Product Management, Android said, “As a global operating system, it’s important that these names are clear and relatable for everyone in the world. So, this next release of Android will simply use the version number and be called Android 10”
Although the new naming system sounds less delicious and fun, according to Google, it will serve the purpose, and it will make things less confusing. Android 10 also comes with a redesigned logo with the Android robot sitting on the top.
Not only that, but the color of the text is also changed from green to black for better visibility. The search giant, of course, Google will officially start rolling the new logo with the final release of Android 10.
