Android Q doesn’t have an official name yet, but it’s already starting to leak out. Here’s what we know so far.
The first leaked build of the next major update to the Android mobile OS has surfaced, and it includes references to a system-wide dark mode.
To be clear, this is a very early version of the software, dubbed Android Q, which XDA Developers managed to spend some time with on a Google Pixel 3 XL. The biggest change it appears to bring is a system-wide dark mode. But there are other tantalising features buried in the build. Android for beginners: Tips and tricks
Here’s everything we know so far. Android Q: Name
Months before the next major version of Android rolls out to devices with an official dessert-themed name, it’s known by a codename. They’ve been teased in alphabetical order. For instance, Android 9 Pie was Android P. Before that, there was Android Oreo, or Android O. This year is Android Q. There are a few desserts that start with Q, but most of them are from outside the US. Android Qurabiya Android Quindim Android Queen of Puddings Android Qottab Android Quesito Android Queijadinha Android Quirks
Google could always bend the rules and do something less sweet, such as: Android Quinoa Android Quail Android Quesadilla Android Quiche
None of these are official, by the way.
