Android Nougat, the latest mobile operating system from Google, has not yet arrived on all smartphones that already sprouts a new version of the green robot software: Android 8 Oreo. This is what emerges from some rumors circulated recently in the network.
To trigger fans and insiders was a tweet by Hiroshi Lockheimer, senior vice-president of Android and Chrome OS. The executive in fact posted a video of a cake made with Oreos, a well-known brand of some milk cookies. Although there's no official information about it, Lockheimer's post opens the debate among green robot users: will Android 8 be presented with the Oreo name? There is also another clue that would confirm the network's impressions: the letter O. Traditionally, looking at the history of Android, the name of the new versions of Google's operating system follows an alphabetical order. After the N of Nougat, then the O of Oreo?
Android 8 Oreo
There is then another element that reinforces the hypothesis that Android 8 will be named after the milk cookie: the choice of a sweet. Google has always used cookie, candy and chocolate names to "label" new versions of Android (KitKat, Marshmallow, Nougat). Too many coincidences to think that it was just a joke. At the moment, however, apart from Lockheimer's tweet, there is nothing else. To get some more information we will have to wait a few more days or wait for the Google I/O, the annual event that the American company based in Mountain View dedicated to developers and that this year will begin in May.
