Android N is still unnamed as far as today is concerned.
The new OS is set to launch by October this year, and fans can only guess whether the new skin for android devices would be a "Nutella" or a "Nougat." Android users are familiar with the naming scheme of Google with their operating system.
Version after version, from Froyo to Gingerbread to Ice cream sandwich to Jellybean to Lollipop to Marshmallow, and now N, consumers have been very used to it being associated with desserts.
According to Google SVP Sundar Pichai, the naming of the next version will be based on an online survey, Pocket-Lint reported. In addition, it is expected that specific details will be confirmed during the Google I/O this May and that Nexus devices will be the first to be incorporated with the Android 7.0 version.
Meanwhile, there are speculations regarding the removal of the app drawer in the user's interface. Pocket-Lint in their report, stated that the idea originated in a Tweet by Google Maps where a preview of a Nexus 6P's interface was flashed not having any app drawer.
Although Google said that it was an inaccuracy and misinterpretation by fans, they were not too convinced with the clarification as there had been rumors in the past that this would be happening.
Furthermore, it was also previously confirmed by a source before that the tech giant has been planning to remove the application tray.
Pocket-Lint suggested this move would mark the demarcation line between iOS and Android as consumers are very much aware of iOS' use of several application drawers in their devices. Removing the said feature in Android would distinctly categorize the said operating system.
There are still a few months to confirm whether these rumors would already transpire in the forthcoming Android version, and it would probably be a big leap for long-time Android users the moment this big leap happens.
