Google has been known to introduce new statues whenever a new Android version is launched, often themed around the dessert-inspired codenames the company still uses internally. While Google stopped publicly naming Android versions after desserts following Android 9 Pie, these sweet monikers remain an internal custom. The latest version, Android 15, carries the codename “Vanilla Ice Cream,” which is clearly reflected in the new statue’s design.
