It’s official, Android 8.0 is Oreo.
After many rumors and teases, Google made the name official this morning, following the solar eclipse excitement. We don’t know about availability quite yet, but we will post up all of that information once it’s available.
Are you happy about this name? We are!
UPDATE: We’ve got release details right here!
UPDATE 2: Nevermind, you can download the Android Oreo update right now! Grab it here.
UDPATE 3: Google also told us when we can expect Android Oreo updates on phones from Samsung, LG, Essential, HTC, Huawei, Sony, and more.

Can i have this blue wallpaper 😀
So where’s the wallpaper??
Yes Oreo! Yum!
I would have preferred Orange Creamsicle, Orange Slice, or Oatmeal Cookie. Of course, now I understand why Oreo O’s cereal is back…
When nexus 6P and 5X owners get this, are we done with major OS updates?
Yes.
Very smart Google.
Let’s get to the important question.
Will there be special Oreo cookies shaped like Andoids?
Everyone place your bets for Android P now.
I’d put money on Pi(e)
They’re going to partner with Popsicle.
Peanut butter cup
Parfait
Pudding
Pumpkin Pie
F5 ????

Sweet! 😉
Is there a statue?
It was in the video
It’s in the wallpaper.
No more Tim saying “Nougat” incorrectly. Thank the Lord of Light.
The night is dark and full of terrors.
Exciting!!! In 6 years, 27% of Android users will get this update!!!
Even 27% is pretty generous.
We’ll be lucky if it gets past 20%
Luckily for me, I’m only concerned with what MY phone is running, and since I have the Pixel, I’ll be getting it shortly.
“O” face
“Are you happy about this name? We are!”
The name of the Android OS has never affected my opinion of it, not sure why it matters.
It doesn’t, we just choose to enjoy the pomp and circumstance Google puts on because it’s fun.
Because Nougat is a terrible name and everyone knows it.
You know it.
I know it.
Everyone knows it.
I still think it should have been Nut Roll.
I just need a stable Android O on my Nexus Player. The dev preview has been crap.
Well done Google…well done.
Been using Oreo on my 6p lately (right meow) and it feels so good. Not sure I can even go back to 7.1
i have had it on my Pixel since 1st dev preview my Pixel XL is on official release and I just can’t switch back I really like Oreo

live stream down? or was it literally just that 10 minute video to show the oreo cookie?
Stream is over bro.
I assumed it was a bigger event, to show off more of O than they did at I/O. that’s why I thought the stream went down. Pretty anticlimatic
This was literally a name and statue reveal event.
I see that now…
If you guys get that wallpaper with the android oreo superhero, let us know! I’d love to have it on my pixel
Ditto!
oreo is fine.. I just thought there would be more to that presentation.. or lack thereof
Factory Images can release any moment now…come on.
Right meow
Don’t expect them today. From the Android Blog:
We’re pushing the sources to Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for everyone to access today. Pixel and Nexus 5X/6P builds have entered carrier testing, and we expect to start rolling out in phases soon, alongside Pixel C and Nexus Player.
I would assume at least a couple of days for carrier testing
I was hoping it would be Oreo. Now we just need to know when!
Now get those Android Branded Oreos in stores!
Green chocolate Oreo cookies or just an Android character in the cookie?
Well there’s already the green mint Oreos. So I’ll be expecting something a little unique
Mmm pistachio…
Yes. Now gimme dat OTA! Also do want the pic as a wallpaper. 🙂
Was that all they were going to reveal? No other announcement?
That’s all that was expected today…
I would like to announce that this was all they were going to reveal.
I think it makes for a good name. Kinda bummed there are no availability announcements yet.
