forget Oreo today Android is brought to you by the letter P Google announced a developer preview of the next iteration of its mobile operating system called Android P one of the more major shifts in the software is Google's nod to the notch this version of Android caters to that little cut out you've seen on the iPhone 10 but for upcoming Android handsets like the ascend phone 5 aside from making way for notches this Developer Preview upgrades notifications you'll see images and notifications now and smart replies will be available as well there's also indoor mapping to complement Google Maps which should come in handy if you're at an unfamiliar venue or Airport and need to find a specific location other updates include better support for third-party password managers restricting camera and microphone access in apps if they're running in the background and increased battery life one of the biggest questions surrounding new Android updates is always when will mind on Google device get this update unfortunately fragmentation is Google's constant foe with just 1.1 percent of Android users on its most recent update Oreo and 81 percent on the three versions before that look but I guess them's the breaks when you want out of a walled garden there's also the question of the name that P will be replaced with an official moniker that's desert themed at some point could it be pumpkin pie peanut brittle parfait panna cotta or my personal guess popsicle drop your guests down in the comments we'll be keeping an eye on Android pee here at cnet.com I'm Ashley sceva be good humans
