That's it, fellas! After 10 sweet years of delicious names, Google is ditching the desserts. Android Q will simply be named Android 10, along with every version afterwards being named the consecutive number (11, 12, etc.) Why is the change happening? Two reasons. One, Q is a hard letter. I mean, there's not many desserts (or anything!) that starts with Q. So that's one reason. The second and main reason: The dessert names can be hard in some parts of the world. Like, lollipop. That can be hard in some parts of the world, especially the UK. Like are you talking about a lollipop, a lolly (any candy) , or an ice lolly? (Known as a popsicle in the US) See, that's confusing! And marshmallows? Those aren't really popular in many countries. And it was a good time for a change. 10 years was a good amount of time for the old system. And Q was the PERFECT time for a change. However, the codenames will still be after the letter. But it won't be BASED on the letter anymore....
