Here is everything that we know about Android 9.0 i.e 'P' until now...
Android runs on the vast majority of smartphones the world over, so it's no surprise that Google keeps the massively-popular mobile operating system in tip-top shape.
Granted, it can take a long while for latest versions to hit your own handset, if at all, but at least progress is being made for some devices, right? And it sounds like the next version could be right around the corner: leaked information for Android 9.0 P just hit the internet.
Which whimsical dessert-themed name will Google settle on this time, and when can we expect it to release? More importantly, what new features will Google pack into Android 9.0? Here's everything we know so far.
Google's had a sweet tooth for some time now, and every major Android version has come with its own dessert-centric title. We're coming off a string of names including Oreo, Nougat, Marshmallow, Lollipop, and so on and so forth.
So what about Android P? Well, we just don't know yet. And even if we had a hint, Google has occasionally tried to throw people off the real scent in the past. But it'll be something starting with "P," which yields quite a few solid options. Reports show that Google is calling it "Pistachio Ice Cream" internally, but that the internal codenames typically don't make it to market. That's a bit of a mouthful, admittedly.
Honestly, we think Android 9.0 Popsicle sounds like a fine result, but they could also go with pie, parfait, praline, or panna cotta. And given past licensed names like Oreo and KitKat, maybe Android Pez could be an option too
When might Android 'P' launch?????
Last year, Android 8.0 Oreo appeared much sooner than anyone anticipated, with a beta version launching in March ahead of a full release in August. That was months earlier than previous versions, and it showed Google trying to get new OS versions into the hands of developers and testers as early as possible.
Will we see the same thing again with Android 9.0? Given the appearance of leaks, we wouldn't be surprised to see another beta announcement pop up here in the next couple months.
Of course, a new Android version releasing is very different from the new Android being made available for your device through the proper channels. Smartphone makers are still terribly slow at supporting new OS versions, with Android Oreo only running on 1.1% of Android devices today (as of this writing).
Even if you have a brand new phone, it could be months after the official release before you see Android 9.0 available as an over-the-air update. Luckily, Google's own Pixel devices (Pixel 2 XL shown) get first dibs on pure Android updates.
New features to be expected!!!!!!
One of the main goals of Android P is reportedly ”improving the look of the software” to better appeal to existing iPhone users in hopes that they’ll make the switch over to Google’s platform. A flashy redesign could help Android phones stand out this year, especially as Apple is said to be putting its own major redesign on the back burner until next year to focus on performance and reliability in iOS 12.
Google is also said to be designing the updated operating system to better integrate camera notches, such as the ones found on the Essential Phone and iPhone X, as more and more hardware manufacturers embrace reduced-bezel designs. Also rumored to be part of Android P is better support for different form factors of Android devices, with features like multiple screens (like the ZTE Axon M) and foldable displays (which Samsung is rumored to be working on for later this year).
Of course, Google is also said to be planning to further embed Assistant into Android: the company is reportedly considering allowing third-party developers to directly integrate Assistant into their own apps. Assistant might also be added to the omnipresent Google search bar on the home screen, although neither of these decisions is apparently finalized yet.
