Every time one comes out new version of android, a certain expectation is generated about the commercial name that it may have, which is usually that of a popularly known sweet.
Now that we are at the gates of the arrival of Android 8, the speculations have begun and since it touches the letter O, imagine which cookie could be the lucky one…
Android 8 could be called Android Oreo
The hint for Oreo, a tweet from the vice president of Android
Why have we started talking about the name of Android 8.0 when most smartphones haven't even received Android 7? Well, mainly because Hiroshi Lockheimer, vice president of the company, has published a tweet in which he has dropped it.
A photo of an Oreo cookie cake appears in this tweet, along with a dubious face. Something that many have interpreted as a confirmation of the name of the new version of the Android mobile operating system.
Candy Names in Alphabetical Order
Another reason why Oreo postulated as the most likely name for the new version of Android is that, on this occasion, it must be the name of a sweet or cake that begins with O. Otherwise, it would mean a change in the entire trajectory of the company.
And it is that each android version of llama with the name of a sweet that begins with the letter that represents that version, to differentiate it from the previous ones.
Thus Lollipop, Marshmallow or Nougat have been the names of the latest versions of the operating system that have reached our smartphones. And the reality is that, now that it's time for the O, there aren't many other sweets that can be used as an alternative.
Rumors are not always confirmed
Although rumors that Android Oreo could be the name of Android 8, the truth is that other times strong rumors have been heard that have not been fulfilled.
Thus, for months it was speculated that the commercial name with which Android N would become known would be AndroidNutella. It was even rumored that Google could choose the name of a popular Indian sweet. But in the end it ended up being Nougat who took the cake.
