After a successful run of Android Developer Previews for the Pixel phones, the rumours of when Google will launch the yet to be named Android P have been running rampant. Luckily Evan Blass is here to give us a fairly solid idea of when that will happen.
According to Evan, and whomever his usually impeccable sources are, August 20th is the date we can all expect Android P to be unleashed: August 20.

Google both released the full version of Android 8.0 and unveiled the name of the version: Oreo, as well as a statue on August 22nd last year – so the timing is about right.
In terms of what Android P will be called (Popcorn? Pavlova? Pez?) the team behind all the Android lawn sculptures, Themendous, have been working hard on it if you check their Instagram :
If it’s August 20th in the US, it’s likely going to be August 21 here in Australia that we see the announcement. So if you have a Pixel or Pixel 2 phone, you should be getting an OTA on the day, or soon after or you’ll be able to grab those Images or OTA files from the Google Downloads page.
My Pixel XL 2 is downloading Pie now, I just received the notification to download and install it.
Pizza!
