Some Information about Android 16 Has Surfaced, May Be Released in Advance in 2025

TapTechNews October 2nd news, although most users still haven't obtained the Android 15 update, some information about Android 16 has surfaced.

The Google AOSP code shows that the internal code name of Android 16 is Baklava. TapTechNews note: This kind of dessert is also known as nut pastry and is popular in the streets and alleys of Eastern Europe and Western Asia, and is even called the first dessert of the Turkish court.

According to AndroidAuthority, this is the latest change in the early code of Android 16, and the min_sdk_version field in the code earlier this year was still VanillaIceCream.

Not only that, Mishaal Rahman of AndroidAuthority also added that Google's compatibility definition document shows that Android 16 may be launched in advance in the second quarter of 2025, and developer teamb58 also confirmed this guess after seeing the time frame mentioned in multiple AOSP patches.

Rahman said that this dessert code name may last until after SDK is finally determined, and then replaced with the number 16. Rahman suspects that the reason why Google may release Android in advance in 2025 is related to its trunk stability project. It is said that this project can allow developers to work together on Android's unified main branch, which helps them develop and enable functions/APIs for future builds.
