Poll: What do you think Android 17's dessert codename will be?
Google has a fun tradition of codenaming Android versions after desserts in alphabetical order. In the early days of Android, these dessert codenames were part of the Android name/branding. However, with Android 10's release in 2019, Google dropped the codename from the public name, even though it has continued to use the dessert codename internally. Android 15 is internally called Vanilla Ice Cream, whereas Android 16 is called Baklava. With Android 16 out for a while now, and Android 16 QPR1 also on the horizon, it got us wondering: What would Android 17 be called? To start, here's a brief history of all the Android dessert codenames so far: Android Version Number Dessert Codename Year of Release Android Version Number 1.0 Dessert Codename No codename Year of Release 2008 Android Version Number 1.1 Dessert Codename Petit Four (internal) Year of Release 2009 Android Version Number 1.5 Dessert Codename Cupcake Year of Release 2009 Android Version Number 1.6 Dessert Codename Donut Year of Release 2009 Android Version Number 2.0, 2.1 Dessert Codename Éclair Year of Release 2009 Android Version Number 2.2 Dessert Codename Froyo Year of Release 2010 Android Version Number 2.3 Dessert Codename Gingerbread Year of Release 2010 Android Version Number 3 Dessert Codename Honeycomb Year of Release 2011 Android Version Number 4 Dessert Codename Ice Cream Sandwich Year of Release 2011 Android Version Number 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 Dessert Codename Jelly Bean Year of Release 2012 Android Version Number 4.4 Dessert Codename KitKat Year of Release 2013 Android Version Number 5.0, 5.1 Dessert Codename Lollipop Year of Release 2014 Android Version Number 6 Dessert Codename Marshmallow Year of Release 2015 Android Version Number 7.0, 7.1 Dessert Codename Nougat Year of Release 2016 Android Version Number 8.0, 8.1 Dessert Codename Oreo Year of Release 2017 Android Version Number 9 Dessert Codename Pie Year of Release 2018 Android Version Number 10 Dessert Codename Quince Tart (internal) Year of Release 2019 Android Version Number 11 Dessert Codename Red Velvet Cake (internal) Year of Release 2020 Android Version Number 12, 12L Dessert Codename Snow Cone (internal) Year of Release 2021 Android Version Number 13 Dessert Codename Tiramisu (internal) Year of Release 2022 Android Version Number 14 Dessert Codename Upside Down Cake (internal) Year of Release 2023 Android Version Number 15 Dessert Codename Vanilla Ice Cream (internal) Year of Release 2024 Android Version Number 16 Dessert Codename Baklava (internal) Year of Release 2025 Since Android 1.5 Cupcake in 2009, Google has diligently used dessert codenames alphabetically. The company finally broke its tradition with Android 16, which should have started with a dessert codename that began with 'W.' Instead, Android 16 jumped to 'B' with Baklava. The reason for this is Android's trunk stable project, which my colleague Mishaal explains in better detail when he revealed Android 16's dessert codename. Assuming Android 16 is a good baseline, Android 17's codename will very likely be a dessert that begins with the letter 'C.' Do you have any guesses on what it could be? What do you think Android 17's internal dessert codename will be? 1744 votes Caramel Custard 12 % Cheesecake 28 % Cherry Pie 12 % Choco-chip Cookie 7 % Churro 15 % Coffee Cake 6 % Crème Brûlée 13 % Crepe 7 % I've compiled a few popular dessert codenames in the poll above for you to vote on, but feel free to sound off other desserts that start with C in the comments below! If you ask me, Android 17 would be pretty sweet as Churro, but I can also see why it could be Cheesecake or Choco-chip cookie too. I will judge those who go for Crepe, as it can be sweet or savory, and that's practically breakfast territory if you ask me. Follow

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 prices leak ahead of launch
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Z Flip7 are reportedly just around the corner, so retailers are getting ready for the market release and putting up some preliminary listings. However, in order to prevent leaks, Samsung has started using codenames for its devices. Listings from an Italian retailer Unfortunately for Samsung, that didn't prevent NieuweMobiel from identifying the Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Z Flip7 on an Italian website, showing the prices for the 256 and 512GB versions of the Z Fold7 and the 512GB Z Flip7 configuration. According to the listings, the Galaxy Z Fold7, codenamed Q7, will go for €2,227 in Italy and €2,309 for the beefier 512GB variant. Those prices include a 22% VAT in Italy. That's a hefty €200 increase for both storage options. The Z Flip7, codenamed B7, on the other hand, sees an around €100 hike for the 512GB flavor. Although this seems like a solid leak, we take this sort of info with a healthy dose of skepticism. The price hikes seem a bit drastic, especially for the Z Fold7. Then again, if the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE price rumors are true, then Samsung will likely justify the price increase by providing a more affordable foldable alternative this year. Source

Pixel 10 devices, expected to launch later this year, are internally named after horses — with names like Frankel, Blazer, Mustang, and Rango.
