Google licks Android Nougat

Google has named the next major update to its Android operating system Nougat aka Android N.

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. ®
