Guessing the Name of Next Android Version: P

Android has a long history of naming its version numbers after desserts, such as Oreo, Pie, and many more. As we approach the release of Android 9.0, aka Android P, the speculation is heating up over what the final name will be. Let's explore some of the popular theories and see if any of them come to fruition at Google IO 2018.

Peppermint

One of the contenders for the name of Android P is Peppermint. This name has a certain charm to it because of its dual associations. Firstly, people often think of peppermint candy when they hear the word, which would align well with Google's tradition of using food-related names for its versions. Secondly, the taste and freshness of peppermint align with our expectations for a new and improved Android experience. The name 'Android Peppermint' has a catchy, almost playful feel to it.

Other Dessert Theories

While peppermint is a strong contender, there are several other dessert-related theories for Android P:

Pop-Tarts

Pop-Tarts have previously been used by Google for its KitKat release, which was a successful campaign. However, the name 'Android Pop-Tarts' could be considered a bit awkward, as the brand name is pluralized. Despite this, some fans still hope this could be the name.

Pavlova

Another theory is Pavlova, a light meringue-based dessert. This dessert is named after the legendary Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. The idea of having an elegant and light dessert as the name for a new Android release could be seen as a creative approach.

Pedas

Originating from South Asian countries, Peda is a traditional sweet. While Google has never named an Android version after an Indian sweet, there has been considerable support for a version being named after Peda. This theory would be a unique addition to Google's dessert naming tradition, given India's significant contribution to global app downloads.

Panziba

Following the dessert trend, Panziba is a popular sweet originating from various regions, including North India. The dessert is known for its distinct taste and texture, making it a strong candidate for an Android version name. Fans of the name hope that Google might consider this unique sweet in its naming process.

Peze

Peze, a popular candy from Austria, aligns well with Google's tradition of choosing brand names for its dessert-related monikers. Peze candies are known for their sweetness and the satisfaction they provide after indulging. The name 'Android PEZ' has a nice ring to it and could attract fans of the brand.

Pastrami

While not a dessert, Pastrami could be considered a snack-inspired name. The name suggests a rich, savory experience, which could be conveyed to users who are looking for a robust and practical Android release.

Peeling Back the Layers

So, which theory do you think has the highest chance of becoming the name of Android P? While it's still too early to tell, Google's historical naming choices make this a fascinating topic for speculation. The final name will be revealed at Google IO 2018, and until then, we can only indulge in our own fantasies and theories.

Keep an eye on Google's official announcements to stay updated and get ready to see which dessert name will represent the next Android version.
