I thought it was a nice little routine to name Android versions after desserts, but looks like the next version is just going health conscious and will be called simply Android 10 (instead of Q)

The main reason is global brand recognition (not everyone knows what kitkat or nougat is, apparently!)

Probably hit a wall with a recognisable dessert that begins with Q.

Not many sweet/candy/treat names starting with Q anyway. Not surprising.

Has anyone ever said "I was going to upgrade my phone but I don't know what nougat is"? Cant see that ever being an issue.
