  • A report states Google’s internal codename for Android 16 has diverged from its typical naming cadence to “Baklava.”
  • The next OS could also launch much sooner next year as “several” AOSP patches and Google developers mention “25Q2.”
  • Google has missed out on its usual Q3 launch for Android, seeing as rumors state Android 15 could launch in October, which sits it in Q4 2024.

While users continue to wait on Android 15, there’s already some information about Android 16.

Mishaal Rahman for Android Authority received a tip from another developer about Android 16’s potential codename. According to teamb58, a dive into Google’s AOSP seemingly dubs the next major OS “Baklava.” This was reportedly a change discovered in Android 16’s early code, which sets “min_sdk_version” to “Baklava” while this year’s (Android 15) remains as VanillaIceCream.
