Android Operating Change Their Name Coming to Android 10.
The tenth Android operating system is being renamed. Over the years, Android versions have been called KitKat Lollipop Jellybean for these dessert dishes. However, this is the first rule that they have named after the tenth Android version, the US Zen Gogol is going to bring this change to the market in five years using direct numbers. Android 7 will be officially named after Android 7 years later.
Google announces Android Q at the I/O event this year. During the announcement, Google announced some features of Android Q but didn't confirm the official name of the new Android version. After a long wait, the official name of Android Q is nowhere. On Thursday, Google announced that the new Android version or Android Q will be officially known as Android 10. Yes, for Android Q Google changes its naming strategy. This surprises many.
"We're changing the way we name our releases. Our engineering team has always used internal code names for each version, based on tasty treats, or desserts, in alphabetical order. This naming tradition has become a fun part of the release each year externally, too. But we've heard feedback over the years that the names weren't always understood by everyone in the global community," The company noted in its official blog post.
Until now, Google named Android versions before desserts. But with Android 10 this has changed. To recollect, it all started with Cupcake and was then followed by many others -- Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream, Jellybean, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo and last one was, Pie. So, why did Google decide to restructure the naming process of Android? The company simply did so to avoid confusion. Google believes that the Android 10 name will be more "clear and relatable" for everyone.
"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. We think this change helps make release names simpler and more intuitive for our global community. And while there were many tempting "Q" desserts out there, we think that at version 10 and 2.5 billion active devices, it was time to make this change," the company explains.
In addition, Google has also changed the look of the Android logo. The company explains the reason behind changing the brand logo and says, "The design of the logo draws inspiration from the most recognizable non-human member of the community, the Android robot. The robot belongs to everyone in the community and has long been a symbol of the fun and curiosity at the heart of Android. Now, it has a special place in our logo. We also changed the logo from green to black."
