One of our favourite past-times here at AndroidSPIN is guessing the name of the next version of Android. Since we’re currently on Android Marshmallow, that logically means we’ll be guessing what “N” stands for in Android N. However, as Google CEO Sundar Pichai has suggested, the Android N naming process could be decided from a vote, a vote which he says “if all Indians vote, I think we can make (an Indian name) it happen.”
We don’t think Android N is going to really have its name voted on – Pichai was likely drumming up interest in future versions of Android. As background, Google is really pushing Android in India, which is still considered an emerging market that is yet to be capitalized on – for instance, back in September, Google announced it would be bringing high-speed internet to Indian train stations. Regardless, it would be interesting if Google ever decided to allow voting for the name of an Android software version as it’s clear some markets would have more say over it than others – my bet’s on Android Nougatine, though.
What do you think about voting on Android N naming? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
