Wait, did Google just reveal the full name of Android P?
Google didn't reveal the name of Android Oreo until August last year, shortly after Google I/O. But this year, it might be giving us some clues ahead of time.
On Thursday, the company released five summer-themed images on its Instagram (spotted by BGR), encouraging its followers to screenshot them and use them as wallpapers. Beach shots, foliage, kites, and bikers abound. And, of course, popsicles.
What could this mean?
Traditionally, Android operating systems have been named after desserts: Android N was revealed as Android Nougat, and Android O as Android Oreo.
Does this mysterious image mean we could be looking at Android Popsicle?
Maybe. On the other hand, popsicles are hardly out of place in a summer wallpaper.
Plus, Google's dropped other hints in the past The company shared the cryptic image of a pineapple cake in January, so Android Pineapple could also be on the horizon -- or maybe Google's just trolling us big-time.
Google declined to comment.
