Google has confirmed that the next version of Android will have the codename “Cinnamon Bun”, following the traditional dessert naming convention used by the company. The information comes from a trusted source within Google and was originally reported by Android Authority.
Here’s a brief rundown of previous dessert codenames for Android, including this year’s Android 16 which is called Baklava:
| Version | Codename | Year of release |
| — | — | — |
| 1.0 | No codename | 2008 |
| 1.5 | Cupcake | 2009 |
| 1.6 | Donut | 2009 |
| 2.0, 2.1 | Éclair | 2009 |
| 2.3 | Gingerbread | 2010 |
| 3 | Honeycomb | 2011 |
| 4 | Ice Cream Sandwich | 2011 |
| 4.1-4.3 | Jelly Bean | 2012 |
| 4.4 | KitKat | 2013 |
| 5.0, 5.1 | Lollipop | 2014 |
| 6 | Marshmallow | 2015 |
| 7.0, 7.1 | Nougat | 2016 |
| 8.0, 8.1 | Oreo | 2017 |
| 9 | Pie | 2018 |
| 10 | Quince Tart (internal) | 2019 |
| 11 | Red Velvet Cake (internal) | 2020 |
| 12-12L | Snow Cone (internal) | 2021 |
| 13 | Tiramisu (internal) | 2022 |
| 14 | Upside Down Cake (internal) | 2023 |
| 15 | Vanilla Ice Cream (internal) | 2024 |
| 16 | Baklava | 2025 |
The naming convention has changed with the introduction of a new “Trunk Stable” development model, which replaces the old branch-based model. The change in build ID scheme led to Android 14 and Android 15 having internal codenames instead of traditional names.
Google’s dessert-themed naming convention is expected to continue with Android 17, but the exact name is yet to be confirmed. The company has announced that it will release Android 17 around June 2026.
