Cheesecake Tops Android 17 Naming Poll

A reader poll puts Cheesecake at the top for Android 17's unofficial dessert codename, revealing fan interest in Google’s naming tradition.

Cheesecake Leads Android 17 Dessert Codename Poll

An online poll gathered about 1,900 votes on what Android 17 should be called by dessert codename. Cheesecake led with more than 530 votes, roughly 28 percent, followed by churro at about 15 percent, and creme brulee around 13 percent. Caramel custard and cherry pie trailed in the low teens, with choco-chip cookie and crepe bringing up the rear.

The results reflect reader engagement rather than an official naming choice. The poll shows how fans interact with Android lore and how playful branding can spark dialogue around updates, even as the technical work behind Android 17 proceeds in parallel.

Dessert codenames have become a lighthearted brand ritual that keeps conversations around Android lively. Cheesecake’s lead suggests a preference for warm, comforting language that can translate into broader appeal for future updates.

Yet readers should view the poll as a snapshot of interest, not a decision signal from Google. Official naming rests with the product team, while fans enjoy the playful side of tech culture and its connection to everyday life.

Highlights

Names matter in culture as much as in code, and this playful poll reminds us how branding travels through communities.
