While most Android device manufacturers that are not Samsung continue to do a (comparatively) poor job of delivering the newest OS version even to their latest and greatest smartphones, Google is obviously hard at work on the next platform build.
As you're probably well aware, this is a tradition dating all the way back to 2009's Android 1.5 Cupcake, which came after versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the operating system. Those two didn't get dessert-themed marketing labels, but in their honor, Google kicked off this sweet tradition with the third letter of the English alphabet.
Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo, and Pie all followed like clockwork, but for some reason, Android 10 broke this established practice in 2019. Although Android 11 officially pursued a similar path last year, its unofficial alternate name is Red Velvet Cake.
It remains to be seen now if Big G aims to bring dessert monikers back to the limelight with Snow Cone this year or if that cold and tasty treat will be kept under wraps as a fun little secret for hardcore Android fans to share. Our money is on the latter option, but it would sure be nice for Google to prove us wrong.
