Android O is confirmed to be 8.0 in the latest developer preview

We've all been debating about what the official name of Android O will be (it's going to be Oreo, guys, trust me), but there hasn't been much talk about the official version number. There were only ever two real options - 7.2 or 8.0. With the release of Android O's third developer preview, Google has revealed that it will be Android 8.0.



Looking at both the 'check update' and 'About phone' sections, the version number is now shown as 8.0.0. Given how many changes Android O has brought, this doesn't come as a huge surprise.
