No more sweets: Android Q is called Android 10
Donuts, Nougat or Eclair: In addition to a number, each Android version was given the name of a dessert in the past. This is now a thing of the past. From now on, Android versions will only have numbers. With the announcement of the name, Google also presented a new logo for Android 10.
Don't worry, the green robot will remain the symbol of Android and will be an integral part of the logo alongside the name. Because it is green, and for better legibility, Google is changing the colour of the "Android" lettering from green to black. The changes to the appearance of the letters, on the other hand, are more cosmetic in nature.
Candy doesn't go down well everywhere
In a blog post, Sameer Samat, the Vice President of Product Management for Android, explains why Google decided to do away with the cute names. These were created from the internal names given to them by the developers. This tradition is now coming to an end, as the names are not usable all over the world and cannot be pronounced in all languages.
In addition, Android users who are not immediately familiar with the order of the sweets will be able to see directly whether their device has the latest version or not. The decision is not due to a lack of desserts whose name begins with a Q.
Google currently has 2.5 billion active Android devices. These are not just smartphones, but also tablets, smartwatches, televisions and even cars.
When I was but a young student, I'd sit in my friend's living room with all my classmates and play on his SuperNES. Since then I've had the opportunity to test out all the newest technology for you. I've done reviews at Curved, Computer Bild and Netzwelt, and have now arrived at Galaxus.de.
