Why is Google dropping desserts name with Android 10?
Recently, Google claims more than 2.5 billion active devices around the world. With this global usage increment, unusual naming tradition difficult to understand for many users around the world. Dessert names are not universally understood in different cultures and different languages.
So, globally used brand like Android, should be named in a globally recognizable way. Therefore, Google changing the way it names Android releases to make it clear and relatable for global users. So, the Android operating system will simply be called Android 10 Q this year and Android 11 next year.
