What will Android 9.0 be called?
Since the early days of Android updates have been named after sweet treats and in alphabetical order. So far we've seen:

Android Donut (v1.6)
Android Eclair (v2.0)
Android Froyo (v2.2)
Android Gingerbread (v2.3)
Android Honeycomb (v3.0)
Android Ice Cream Sandwich (v4.0)
Android Jelly Bean (v4.1)
Android KitKat (v4.4)
Android Lollipop (v5.0)
Android Marshmallow (v6.0)
Android Nougat (v7.0)
Android Oreo (v8.0)
In 2018 we should see Android 'P' launch as Android 9.0. The name won't be announced until the summer, but that doesn't stop us having a guess as to what it could be.

There are already rumours the name could be Android Pie, Android Pecan Pie or Android Pumpkin Pie, thanks to a reference to Android Pi within the Android Open Source Project. But that doesn't sound very Google.

Google Developers have also begun dropping hints on Twitter, and the binary code pictured takes you to the google.com/io website where you'll be able to use Street View to explore the reception area of a Google Developer's building. There are various puzzles to solve, and locked away in a second room you'll find a Pineapple Cake. Could we be looking at Android Pineapple?

When is Android 9.0 coming out?
Android 9.0 will most likely be announced during Google I/O 2018, which we expect to take place in mid-May, potentially 16-18 May 2018. It is possible we'll see an earlier release in March, as we did in 2017 with Oreo.

At this point a Developer Preview will be released, which can be installed on recent Google Pixel devices but should really be left to those who now what they're doing.

A few public betas will follow, and we expect to see the final consumer release in August 2018.

When will my phone get Android 9.0?
Although Android 9.0 will be released in August 2018, it won't be immediately available to all Android devices. The update will first be available to Google Pixel devices, and then we'll start to see new phones arriving with Android P out of the box at September's IFA 2018 show.

Android updates are rolled out by phone manufacturers and network operators rather than Google itself, because any Android updates must first be tweaked to work with any customisations they have made.


Those with vanilla interfaces - such as Nokia, which has already confirmed Android P updates for all 2017 phones - will be among the first to roll out the update, then the likes of Samsung, LG, Sony and HTC will begin rolling out Android 9.0 in
