Until now, Google has been offering Beta versions of Android Nougat (versions 7) along with "Developer Preview" versions of Android O which will make its debut at Google I/O 2017 later this month.

Android is currently available in its 7th iteration called Nougat, and in 2017, most of us expect Android to be named as Oreo, taking its name from the popular sandwich cookie.
