Did they ditch the dessert naming? Like they did with froyo, KitKat, etc? What’s 13?14? Mango pudding? Nerds candy?

Upside-down cake

The first letter is alphabetical. 10 is quince tart, 11 is red velvet cake, 12 is snow cone and 13 is tiramisu

The day google stops using fun names for things like this, even unofficially, is the day google is no more.

The internal politics still haven’t recovered from January by all accounts. They probably won’t recover until Sundar is gone.

Android versions no longer have official dessert names, but they still have codenames.

Thanks for that. Not very fun or quirky anymore I guess.

If it’s anything like other alphabetic codenames, they usually restart

Be careful, there have been some pretty nasty 0-click exploits in the time Android 11 has been around, so I hope you have still been getting security updates.

In about 5 months, Android 11 will be end of life and won’t get security updates anymore, so definitely keep an eye out for anything you may be vulnerable to.

There have been a few RCE’s for Android 11 and up impacting both Bluetooth and the Baseband.

Bluetooth:

Baseband:

Of course, Android 11 is still supported as of right now, so if you have been getting security updates when available, then you are good. I just know there are phones running 11 and below that don’t even get security updates, so those are the people that need to watch out. You can check your Security Patch Level in settings to be sure.

I’m still on android 10 over here. I hadn’t even looked until I saw this. Are you saying it’s better to get a new phone, rather than just a new battery for my S9?

If you want to keep the phone, a custom rom will get you up to at least Android 13 : LineageOS for S9

If you haven’t been getting security updates, I would definitely consider getting a new phone. Especially if you are not one that stays home a lot. The people who will try to exploit things like Bluetooth will be out and about, not walking up to your home.
