Android Q Is Now Android 10, Google Drops Dessert Names

Google determined to forgo the dessert title conference they’ve been utilizing for the previous decade, and selected to rename Android Q to Android 10.

A naming conference may not look like a lot, nevertheless it’s really essential to the model. It’s additionally true that Android is among the most acknowledged manufacturers on the earth, and switching from dessert names to numbers is just not going to be a giant deal.

Android Q was the inner title of the upcoming launch, and the group was having enjoyable making an attempt to consider what title goes to hold. Google is now utilizing numbers for the forthcoming launch, which could not be as enjoyable, however at the least it’s not going to as complicated.

Android 10 is the long run

Since the brand new Android is the tenth one, it made sense for Google to attempt to shake issues a little bit bit. We additionally must remember that Android has been utilizing model numbers from the beginning, so it’s not going to be a big change for everybody.

Fun names usually are not all the time helpful when referring to a selected model, and customers even have to recollect the order by which the releases have been made. Using numbers makes way more sense and solves some points from all around the world as Google as Sameer Samat, VP of Product Management, explains.

“For example, L and R are not distinguishable when spoken in some languages. So when some people heard us say Android Lollipop out loud, it wasn’t intuitively clear that it referred to the version after KitKat. It’s even harder for new Android users, who are unfamiliar with the naming convention, to understand if their phone is running the latest version. We also know that pies are not a dessert in some places and that marshmallows, while delicious, are not a popular treat in many parts of the world.”

Google can also be altering the brand for Android, maintaining the pinnacle and swap to black for the precise Android title. It’s not a lot, and it’s nonetheless simply recognizable, so I doubt that a whole lot of customers are going to note.

Android 10 is predicted to land in Q3 2019, probably by the top of August.
