Android N Name, Release Date Rumors: Google’s New Platform Named 'Nutella Or Nougat,' Utilizes New Features

In line with the upcoming Android N version in the second quarter of the year, its upcoming name has been revealed, along with its new features.

Set as a successor to Android Marshmallow, Nutella and Nougat are reportedly two new possible nomenclature for the upcoming Google platform, according to Tech Radar. As per the publication, Nutella is a potential name for the platform, after Google acquired Nestle's permission to use Kitkat for its previous Android version.

On the other hand, Nougat is another candidate for the new name of Google's Android N. According to recent reports, Nougat is viewed as a general term, leaving the tech giant with no problem if it used it to name its forthcoming platform version. In addition, Nougat is seen as a consistent name, along with the previous Android platform versions like Donut, Eclair, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Lollipop, and Marshmallow.

With Google yet to finalize the name of its Android N, also known as 7.0, it has also been revealed that the upcoming platform will utilize a multi-tasking feature, according to Techworm. As per the publication, Android N devices are set to feature "more polished" multi-window mode, in addition to the transition from Java API to OpenJDK.

Google is also reported to be working on better tablet support, as per Morning News USA. As per the publication, the enhanced tablet features include optimized applications, tablet-specific System UI Tuner, DPI switcher, and custom navigation.

In a statement, Google Consumer Hardware director Andrew Bowers said that they were working on lots of things at the moment for Android N, adding that split screen was in the works. This improvement in Android N is set to lure more users across the tech market.

Android N is rumored to be released in May.
