If you are an androider or a technology enthusiast, we all know Apple gets all the attention, but Android remains the world’s biggest operating system. Just one day after the second beta version of Android 7.1.2 Nougat arrived for Pixel and Nexus devices, Google has yet another surprise for all of us. The company has just announced its next version of Android, and that name, unsurprisingly, is Android O. Of course, this won’t be the final name of the next version of Android, but for now, it’s just Android O. Before I update you about Android O, let me just revise the earlier Android version and it's namesake. From Android Cupcake, google is following incremental alphabets to define it's latest OS name. Have a look at the earlier OS:
