So why Android is always Sweet?
Well, there is no solid explanation for why Google named all their Android variants after sweet dishes. Google has always preferred to remain silent, about this aspect when enquired.
Despite the fact that the organization has dependably been mum on the careful explanation behind this, it is believed that they really name it one after another in order as an approach to observe the sequential request of their overhauls. It is also believed that due to Google feels that naming after treats makes a feeling of claim for all furthermore evades such senseless patent cases. Nevertheless, these names are informal, however fun regardless.
The two unique pre-release variant were called inside at Android, Astro and Bender. However, these names weren't really utilized in light of the fact that the names were at that point trademarked. So it is believed that the group thought of the thought of utilizing sweets for the codename of every release. Google even has manufacture statutes of the treat codenames and they are stayed with on the base camp in Mountain View, California.
However, let’s just say that as these gadgets make our lives so fun with interesting treats, every Android adaptation is named after a sweet treat and as long as they continued to do so we are happy to be diabetic as well!.
