We asked, you told us: Android P will be called…

Android P is advancing fast but no one knows the name aloof yet. Popsicle? Peppermint? Pie? We put the vote to the bodies – here’s what you said.

Android P is advancing fast, with the developer examination already out, and we apprehend to apperceive added about the confectionary-based name of the advancing Android operating arrangement advancement during a keynote at Google I/O 2018.

Android has been appear numerically and alphabetically anytime back Android 1.5, or Cupcake. Back then, forth with the after increment, there’s been a name; a appetizing sweet-treat that leaves enthusiasts (and journalists!) everywhere aloof a little hungry.

Here’s a abbreviate and adorable cruise bottomward anamnesis lane:

Android Kitkat

So what will Android P be named? There’s not a absolutely accessible P dessert, sweet, or bonbon that leaps out to accomplish a claim. History tells us Google isn’t abashed to cross-license a accepted snack, which they did for both Android 4.4 (KitKat) and Android 8.0 (Oreo), but alike then, the choices are not easy. And we anticipate Android (Reece’s) Pieces is aloof a arch too far.

We absitively to ask as abounding of you as accessible so we could get an authentic abstraction of the top two options from our Android community, putting it to you actuality on the website, on Twitter, and via our YouTube association poll. Together we accumulated added than 46,000 votes, and actuality are the after-effects (note that Twitter alone allows four voting options):

The champ is … Android Peppermint!

Peppermint candy

Android Peppermint was a bright standout beyond all three votes. YouTubers gave Peppermint a beginning 46 percent of the vote, admitting Twitter admirers were a little added divided, alone giving Peppermint 31 percent. The action for additional was actual tight, but Pancake managed to authority additional in all three polls, aloof advanced of Popsicle and Pie, with assessment breach over the bigger advantage for third or fourth.

We arranged aggregate we could anticipate of for pie (Pecan, Pumpkin, Pineapple, Peach…) but at atomic one animadversion acicular out that Pineapple ability not be absolutely what Google will be activity for. Anyone abroad bethink back Key Lime Pie was activity to be Android 4.4’s name accustomed that Kitkat would charge licensing?

Spare a anticipation for Parfait, too, the bright also-ran on the day. Despite actuality one of the abundant versatile desserts, it managed aloof 3 percent of votes in the two acclamation that had it. The abutting time you’re appetite a multi-alternate-icecream-custard-syrup-fruit dessert, you’ll be sorry!

But the champ Android Peppermint was our top performer, alike if the comments told us aloof how abounding options Google accept up their sleeve – from bounded specialties like Australia/New Zealand’s Pavlova to a sub-continental candied bowl in Pongal.

Here are some of the best another from the army that we didn’t accept up for the vote:
