Google will allow you to submit a suggestion to name Android N.
In a surprise announcement at Google I/O, the big ‘G’ will allow fans to suggest a new name for their new operating system, Android N. Google has launched a website for your creative suggestions, of course names will all have to begin with ‘N,’ just don’t call it “Namey McNameFace,” pleaded Google.
Google started a new hashtag, #NameAndroidN, to begin the hype campaign and get every Android fan’s creative juices flowing. With suggestions being allowed, are Google open to a name outside of the sweets/dessert category? Maybe, Google didn’t exactly state any guidelines except for the hilarious Namey reference. But Google did state they reserve the right to make the final decision.
Android N will be available this summer with a whole host of new features that are looking to be winners. You can test out the Android N preview right now, compatible devices are the: Nexus 6, Nexus 9, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus Player and Pixel C.
