Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that the company may launch an online poll to give the public a chance to decide the name of the next Android version, which will be Android 7.0.
All the versions of Google’s Android mobile operating system thus far have candy-themed names. We’ve seen Donut (Android 1.6), Eclair (2.0), Froyo (2.2), Gingerbread (2.3), Honeycomb (3.0), Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), Jelly Bean (4.1), KitKat (4.4), Lollipop (5.0), and this year’s release was Marshmallow (6.0).
With Google having decided that the new Android 7.0 build will be called Android N, Pichai’s hints about the company’s new Android naming plan indicates that Android fans and users may get an opportunity to submit their choices for a candy-themed name beginning with the letter N. Android N is likely to come sometime in October next year.

[official][discussions] leaked version of BBM"black berry messnger" /Update #3
General discussion of the BBM application for Android.

hi Android and iPhone users,
This is Andrew Bocking, head of BBM at BlackBerry. As a follow up to our first blog post on Saturday, I want to take a moment to provide you with an update on the rollout of BBM on Android and iPhone.
Last week, an unreleased, older version of the BBM for Android app was posted on numerous file sharing sites. We were aware of an issue with this unreleased version of the BBM for Android app. This older version resulted in volumes of data traffic orders of magnitude higher than normal for each active user and impacted the system in abnormal ways. The version we were planning to release on Saturday addressed these issues, however we could not block users of the unreleased version if we went ahead with the launch.
We attempted to address the problems caused by the unreleased version throughout the day on Saturday, but as active users of the unreleased app neared a million – and accelerated – it became clear that the only way to address the issue was to pause the rollout for both Android and iPhone.
The team is now focused on adjusting the system to completely block this unreleased version of the Android app when we go live with the official BBM for Android app. We are also making sure that the system is reinforced to handle this kind of scenario in the future. While this may sound like a simple task – it’s not. This will take some time and I do not anticipate launching this week.
Thank you for your patience while we take the time needed to deliver the experience you expect from BBM. We will continue to provide you with updates here on InsideBlackBerry.com and through @BBM on Twitter. We will notify everyone who has pre-registered on BBM.com when BBM is available on Android and iPhone."-Andrew Bocking, EVP, BBM

Kitkat is about 6 months old and rumours are coming up for the next Android version that might be launched at Google I/O this summer.
There are chances that there would be small update pushing through before I/O, Kitkat 4.4.3, which includes updates Google apps like Calender, People and the dialler which is following the HTC M8 styling.
There is a video leaked by Google insider testing Google Search which is codenamed as "Lego" at the development servers. The next version of Android would definitely start with letter "L" so this might be the name of next android update 5.0
This is just speculation, but we can bring up all the evidence here in this thread that will relate to the next Android version Starting with letter "L".
Have a look at the Video.
I thought it would be cool for us moto G 3 users to share our opinions of what we all expect from android P to bring.. new features, more UI changes? Is there more that can be added to android software to make the update worth it? Are we reaching the end of the innovative era, and all we will see from now on are little, unimportant changes?
Is project treble going to stop fragmentation since android 8? Guess we'll discover it this year. Share your thoughts
When it's out, OEMs that don't want to support Treble would ship with Nougat (Google could prevent that by forbidding this practice) or Tizen OS (customers would be unhappy with Tizen) but that wouldn't work so Treble will eventually be supported on all new Android devices.
Android P might be the one Android release to finally support themes/at least a built-in system dark theme.
And let's start guessing Android P's name: Popsicle? Or how about Pie?
Pez will finally have a working "feed me breakfast in bed" button.
As we all know, Android Q is the 10th version of Android OS, and Google will release it in the third quarter of this year 2019. Google has a unique naming convention comes from "sweet dishes" for Android OS; ranging from Cupcake to Pie. So, the buzz of Android Q is everywhere, and many suggestions are emerging from the letter 'Q'.
Some of them are:
Quiche
Quark
Quesito
Quail Egg
Quinoa
Quesadilla
Quince
Comment down which is your favorite and would be the name of next tremendous Android Q.
Android 10 brings a lot of changes to the Android ecosystem. The re-branding ends the era of dessert names and Google has officially gone all-in on gesture controls. However, despite these new directions, Android remains the same OS we all know and love.
Google’s big themes for Android 10 were gesture controls, additional security, and enhancing existing features. The update as a whole feels a lot like a continuation of Android Pie. However, there is still a marked difference between Android Pie and Android 10, compared to Android Marshmallow and Android Oreo.
These are the top Android 10 features you should know
We’ve already gone over the entire OS in our Android 10 overview video (above) and all of our articles (just below). We recommend reading and viewing those so we don’t have to rewrite the wheel here. You can also check out the Easter egg instructions here, and Google has its own Android 10 features page as well. If you’re interested in the big rebranding that came with the launch of Android 10, David Imel took a trip to Google to learn all about it and you can read it here.
Finally, this Android 10 review is based off the software update that landed on the Pixel 3a. Your Android 10 experience may differ from device to device.
