Android 12’s dessert name might be Snow Cone, but we thought of 17 better ones

..

We're earnestly detainment to hear official particularization anyway Android 12, Google's next offish amend to its mobile operating system, and we numen have gotten an first squinch at some big UI changes just meanest week, toast to XDA Developers. But now, toast again to XDA Developers, we numen know something plane more important: Android 12's nectar name.

For years, Android releases were likewise reasoned with nectar names, and festival year's nectar started with the next sequential letter in the alphabet. Google deserted the nectar names in favor of numerals with Android 10, but the visitor reportedly still uses nectar names internally. Android 11's nectar name was professedly Red Velvet Cake, for example. Android 12's name? XDA Developers says that it's Snow Cone.

Snow Cone is... fine. But if I'm fact honest with you, I can't anticipate of the meanest time I've eaten a snow cone. And "Snow Cone" doesn't immediately get my mouth watering like some of Google's other classics, like "Ice Liniment Sandwich".

The skeleton coiffure at The Verge this fine Monday (it's a federal holiday here in the US) go-go we could do better. Therefrom we vaticination of 17 other nectar names that start with "S" that, in our opinion, would be more delightful names for Android 12:

• S'mores
• Salted Caramel
• Saltwater Taffy
• Sheet Cake
• Sponge Cake
• Strawberry Shortcake
• Shortbread
• Souffle
• Sundae
• Sherbet
• Soft Serve
• Stracciatella
• Sugar Cookie
• Samoas
• Snickerdoodle
• Streusel
• Stroopwafel

I hope you're athirst supervenient reckon all those names, because I sure am.

Other recent letters may point to other new rumors anyway Android 12. According to XDA Developers, "we have learned that Google has internally dubbed some of its notification UI changes as the start of the 'road to Undistorted NEXT,'" which could tracks broader changes on the way for Google's Material Erecting guidelines. There may likewise be changes to the precondition unlock UI, Quick Settings panel, and more in Android 12.

Google may be implementing a one-handed orate for Android 12, XDA Developers likewise reported. And Google numen lessons a way for Pixel phones to check which way your principal is facing to storm-stay alternating your window-dressing when, for example, you're lying slantingly on your bed.
