Android N: N is for Nougat

Android took submissions to name the new operating system “N” after a sweet snack in line with previous names (like Cupcake, KitKat and Marshmallow). Today they announced the winner: Nougat.

Ever since Android 1.5, the mobile operating system has chosen a sweet snack as its moniker. The new build “N” will be released later this summer and include features like:

  • Daydream support (Google’s new VR platform)
  • Split-screen multi-window mode
  • Better notification functionality
  • Improved performance

Fun fact: The internal code name for Android N was “New York Cheesecake.”

I love the split screen. Not every app has it implemented yet but it has definitely come in handy!!

I voted for Nutella because I really really love it. But Nougat is cool :smiley:

If only the system update could happen and simultaneously a bar of nougat appeared before you… but maybe you just call that your phone?

Got a chance to see the statue earlier today :slight_smile:

I love the new name! And I love peanut nougat too! <3

Wow! Buddy, thats really really awesome! Nougat is still fresh!

I will buy a Nexus for tested this version
prior to the official release

That is a #ROCKSTAR Name for sure …

I cannot wait to Play with it :slight_smile: I am running a Nexus 6 and looking forward to upgrading to the 6P and or the Next Gen Nexus //

Welcome ---- “Nougat”

I’m so excited to install and play with new Android Nougat. Sadly support for my Nexus 5 was ended :frowning: . So I must switch from official ROM to some community ROM.

this version will be updated for all phones I have a note 5??

Normalement Le note 5 doit recevoir cette version.

Aahah my hint was close… Noisette :smiley:

Android Nougat Awesome

Love Android awesome and always growing .My favorite names deserts or anything sweet because new is always sweet success. Thanks so much Android

Is my Nexus 5 will be updated with the new Nougat ?, I will be disappointed if the answer is NO.

Nice info.

Nougat look very nice! (and sound delicious!)

Note: “Turrón” is the spanish word for Nougat.

Nougat is nice. We in Kerala tried for “Neyyappam” a sweet home made thing from rice and fried in oil.
