Google has named the next major update to its Android operating system Nougat aka Android N.
Introducing #AndroidNougat. Thank you, world, for all your sweet name ideas! #AndroidNReveal pic.twitter.com/7lIfDBwyBE

Google asked the public to send in suggestions for naming the new build – while asking not to get nominations for Namey McNameface – but Nougat is a rather bland choice (much like the confectionary itself) and is in keeping with Google's food-themed naming scheme.
The new build, expected out in the Autumn, will support the Vulkan 3D graphics API, individual file encryption, split screens, and network traffic caps for applications. ®
