Notably, Google had this amazing tradition of naming every new Android version after a dessert or tasty treat in alphabetical order.
The practice started from Android 1.5 Cupcake and Android 1.6 Donut and continued all the way till Android 9 Pie. However, this time around, the company has ditched the dessert-based naming convention, saying Android Q would simply be called Android 10.
