'The next version of the Android operating system (OS) will not be
named after a dessert or sweet treat, ending a tradition that started
in 2009. From a report:

Following the pattern, the name of the new version would have started
with Q. But Google said it had ditched the naming scheme because it
made it difficult for consumers to know which version of the OS was
the latest. The new edition, which will be released later this year,
will be called Android 10. Previous versions of the mobile operating
system have been nicknamed Jellybean, Kitkat and Lollipop'
