Google Android 8.0 Oreo: In an announcement somewhat melodramatically timed to coincide with the solar eclipse in New York, Google revealed the name of the latter Android version.
The name she revealed was the obvious one choice, as the upcoming Android O is named Oreo after the familiar cookies.
The upcoming mobile operating system Appliances it will not only be the latest Android update, but it will also bring a number of very useful features such as video-in-picture, new emoji and notification badges.
Google says Pixel phones and Nexus 5X/6P are already in testing and are expected to start rolling out the OS system in phases very soon, with the Pixel C and Nexus Player following soon.
Google also said it would push the operating system into Android Open Source Project today and that "device manufacturers such as Nokia Essential, General Mobile, HMD Global Home, Huawei, HTC, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sharp and Sony will release or upgrade devices with Android 8.0 Oreo."
