Google asking users what to name Android N

NEW DELHI: It seems Google CEO Sundar Pichai is keeping his word on creating an online poll for naming the next version of Android. Sort of.

A user of Google’s Opinion Rewards has been asked questions pertaining to a ‘tasty food with the letter N,’ according to a report by Android Police. Google Opinion Rewards is a programme that provides users with Play Store credits for answering consumer surveys.

Following are the questions:

Interestingly, the options in the second question do not include Nutella, which many think will be the official name of Android N. There are no Indian sweets in the list of options either.

During his visit to India last year, Pichai had said that the next version of Android may be selected by an online poll. This was in response to a student’s query over naming a version of the mobile OS after an Indian dessert. Pichai had also said at the time, “And if all Indians vote, I think we can make (an Indian name) it happen."


Google has released the first developer preview of Android N, allowing users early access to the new features that the mobile OS will bring. Click here to find out how to download Android N on your devices.
