Android N: N is for Nougat

Former Google Contributor

 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."
