Did they ditch the dessert naming? Like they did with froyo, KitKat, etc? What’s 13?14? Mango pudding? Nerds candy?
Upside-down cake
The first letter is alphabetical. 10 is quince tart, 11 is red velvet cake, 12 is snow cone and 13 is tiramisu
The day google stops using fun names for things like this, even unofficially, is the day google is no more.
The internal politics still haven’t recovered from January by all accounts. They probably won’t recover until Sundar is gone.
Can you share what internal politics happened?
Until the January layoffs the company was fairly even keeled. Most of the Google equivalent of an all-hands meeting were concerned around the layoffs happening with other companies.
Initially the message was “no, there won’t be layoffs”. Around November it became “we can’t predict the future”.
And then 12k employees were laid off via email without even telling their managers. The first that team leads heard about it was if a laid off employee sent a farewell email.
There wasn’t a list anywhere of who was laid off and all their corp accounts were active until the final day of their 60-90 day warning period.
So sentiment now is essentially: fuck you Sundar, and I know productive and smart devs who have done essentially 0 work since January, in part because they’re upset but also because their managers got laid off/roadmaps changed/etc
The mass layoffs caused a lot of fear so even high level managers started dropping their roadmaps to focus on anything that would look good for them specifically.
The tldr is it’s all a mess and the bubbly happy sentiment is a thing of the past.
Android versions no longer have official dessert names, but they still have codenames.

Thanks for that. Not very fun or quirky anymore I guess.
What happens for Android 20?
If it’s anything like other alphabetic codenames, they usually restart

Still hanging on to 11 for dear life.
New android looks like ass.
Be careful, there have been some pretty nasty 0-click exploits in the time Android 11 has been around, so I hope you have still been getting security updates.
In about 5 months, Android 11 will be end of life and won’t get security updates anymore, so definitely keep an eye out for anything you may be vulnerable to.

There have been a few RCE’s for Android 11 and up impacting both Bluetooth and the Baseband.
Bluetooth:
Baseband:
Of course, Android 11 is still supported as of right now, so if you have been getting security updates when available, then you are good. I just know there are phones running 11 and below that don’t even get security updates, so those are the people that need to watch out. You can check your Security Patch Level in settings to be sure.
I’m still on android 10 over here. I hadn’t even looked until I saw this. Are you saying it’s better to get a new phone, rather than just a new battery for my S9?
If you want to keep the phone, a custom rom will get you up to at least Android 13 : LineageOS for S9
If you haven’t been getting security updates, I would definitely consider getting a new phone. Especially if you are not one that stays home a lot. The people who will try to exploit things like Bluetooth will be out and about, not walking up to your home.
The only visual difference between 11 and 12+ is the quick access area and the volume slider.
Pretty much everything else is the same. Even Material You is handled per-app. Staying on 11 won’t help you avoid that.
It’s also not that bad? But do what makes you happy I guess.

Thought it was ugly when I started to use 12 but now I love it
