After more than a decade of sugary cognomen , Google is last ending Android ’s dessert - themed designation scheme now thatAndroid Q has officially become Android 10 .
For some , it may be a bit disappointing to see Google sidestep the project of observe an appropriate concoction that starts with the letter Q before the next reading of Android gets released later this fall , but it ’s not all without reason . In a recent blog postal service , Google cited that its assignment schema often felt unintuitive , particularly for newer Android user not familiar with Google ’s late designation convention .
Google also bring up that some languages do n’t have the same distinction between L and R sounds , which sometimes made it perplexing to determine where versions of Android like Lollipop fall in Google ’s larger update cycle . So instead of dealing with something like Android Quince or Android Queen of Puddings , Google is keep affair bare by lead with Android 10 .

Thankfully , not all the excitement about the next reading of Android is gone , because alongside upcoming features likea system - wide dark mode and centering mode , Google is also updating Android ’s look with a new , more modern logotype and updated color palette .
Now , the Android automaton ( which still does n’t have an official name ) will be feature more conspicuously in the Android logotype , while the colouring material of the logo schoolbook itself has been changed from lime fleeceable to blacken to encourage better legibility .
However , before we lastly let go of Android ’s dessert - based naming scheme , we thought it might be nice to finish off the rest of the Android alphabet and put forward some likely names for the cherubic Android name we ’ll never get .
Android Q : Quince , there are n’t a draw of options out there , so quince bush will have to do .
Android R : Red Velvet , because after Quince , we ’ll require something decadent and luxurious .
Android S : S’mores , a callback to Android 6 Marshmallow , because what goes well with marshmallows than some coffee and graham crackers ?
Android T : Tapioca Pudding , Android has been a donut , an eclair , and even froyo , so it ’s natural that Android pays homage to one of the most underappreciated desserts out there .
Android atomic number 92 : Upside Down Cake , this is will be the rendering where Google flip everything around and puts the notification bar at the bottom of the screen , bans sideloading , tack the logo color from green to red .
Android V : Vanilla , by this time , we ’ll be so fed up with the afters - based naming scheme , we ’ll just need something easy .
Android W : Whopper or Warheads , still undecided . warhead go if companionship seems like it ’s on the threshold of self - demolition , while Whopper is the safe selection in case the great unwashed are more in the mood for a delicious , malted handle .
Android X : Xanthan gumwood , a staple of molecular gastronomy and an additive often found in things like chicken feed cream and syrup that help ameliorate grain and ledge - aliveness . But we ’re compass at straw here , so if you have any good ideas for the letter X , entrust us a comment .
Android Y : Youtiao , we hold up international with this one . Youtiaois like a mix between a churro and a twister and can be sport in both unfermented or zesty looker , or dip in soy sauce Milk River and eaten for breakfast . Yum .
Android Z : Zero , not only is this the name of afantastic confect bar , with all the tech company return back to simple number - themed names like the Xbox One and Sonos One , Android Zero seems like a meet alternative .
OK , after coming up with all these gens , perchance switch to numbers for Android is actually a pretty unspoiled thought .
