Yesterday Google made official the new name of its latest version of Android, which until now we knew as Android 7.0 or Android N. The disappointment was undoubtedly capitalized for almost everyone and is that Android Nougat is not what almost nobody expected. Also, when the typical figure that Google places in Googleplex, its popular headquarters, was discovered, the thing became almost a tragedy for many.
In the garden of the Google offices the Andy dolls are grouped, of all the versions that have had it like this (the first versions of the Google operating system were not represented by Andy, but by dessert) and we could say that it already stands out Above all, that of Nougat, which is too simple, a trend that the search giant has taken as a rule.
Taking advantage of the fact that it is Friday, we are going to do a curious review of the main Android dolls and also of the different versions that have reached the market. Get ready to discover the most interesting and curious things, among which is, for example, the name of the first version of Android, Android Pie and that perhaps it pointed directly to Cupertino.
Here we show you the name of all versions of Android that have reached the market, as well as its translation in the form of sweet into Spanish;
- Apple Pie (1.0): Apple Pie
- Banana Bread (1.1): Banana Bread
- Cupcake (1.5): Cupcake
- Donut (v1.6): Donut or donut
- Éclair (v2.0 / v2.1): Pepito or lightning

As we told you before Google decided to create a different Andy doll for each version of Android since Ice Cream Sandwich. Until that moment he had limited himself to filling the main garden of his offices with sweets that did not attract the attention of almost anyone. Today the official christening of the Android version on duty and Andy, cannot be understood without the relevant statue, that this has been losing originality over the years.
If you want to discover which have been the different Andys that we have been able to see, stay with us because we are going to discover the doll of each of the Android versions released on the market. And we are also waiting for you right at the end of the article so you can tell us which Andy's doll or logo has been that you liked the most of all we have seen.
Android Ice Cream Sandwich
With version Ice Cream Sandwich Android began Google's initiative to disguise Andy according to each version of the operating system. Until now, the search giant had been in charge of placing the corresponding sweet as an icon of each version of Android.
With the arrival of this version to the market Andy turned into an ice cream sandwich, parking his usual green and leaving for history one of the most charming and original icons.
Android Jelly Bean
The figure of Andy transformed into a giant Jelly Bean is undoubtedly one of the logos and figures that we have liked the most of all we have seen so far. As a curiosity we can tell you that the first design was not the final one and that Google modified it on several occasions, until it was left as we can see in the image above.
This figure is undoubtedly the proof that Google is capable of doing much more with its icon, and that Nougat or Marshmallow are light years away from the figures of just a few years ago.
Android KitKat
Android 4.4 was a great revolution for Google's operating system, and it is still one of the most used versions today. It was also the first time that Google decided to accept sponsorship of its software. The name given to this version was Android KitKat and once again the search giant created a logo, which you could see the sponsorship everywhere, but it was very original.
The advertising campaign started by Nestlé was very big and we even got to see Andy in the popular chocolate bar. Surely if you look in a supermarket you can still see a KitKat painted green or even one of the popular chocolates turned into Andy.
Android Lollipop
With Android Lollipop Google seems to have decided to put an end to the figures worked, nice and with a touch of originality. On this occasion Andy was only holding a lollipop in one of his hands, very far from what we could see, for example with Android KitKat or Android Jelly Bean.
We should also ask ourselves how Andy is going to "snack" on that huge lollipop that is simply huge for a doll of his size.
Android Marshmallow
marshmallow it was not a turning point in any respect and of course The icon of this version of Android did not take too long for Google to create it. And is that Andy just holds a large cloud in his hands. Simple, straightforward and surely it did not take the person or persons in charge of creating it much time.
I'm not a designer or a creative, but I think it wouldn't have been too difficult to turn Andy into a giant pink cloud, something that would certainly have caught everyone's attention.
Android Nougat
Finally we come to the figure of Andy presented yesterday and that as you can see in the image is the simplest and is that in Google have decided to leave Andy as he usually is, uploading only a few pieces of nougat of different colors. Where were those surprising and most curious figures?
Which Android figure or logo do you like the most of all those we have been able to see over the last few years?. Tell us in the space reserved for comments on this post or through any of the social networks in which we are present.
