A pop of color and more: updates to Android’s brand

I think it's tough when it's an annual thing. One comment in this thread is, "Do you have Oreo?" "Don't know, let me check", but in Settings/About/Version it would show "7.0". Then I would need to Google what number Oreo is.

I use macOS and only started having that problem after they went to annual releases (or maybe I started making desktop maintenance less of a priority?) even though it does show both Mojave and 10.14 in the About.

Although, I do wish there was more whimsy in tech.

Maybe the better solution is for Android to list "7.0 Oreo" in its Version box, like macOS shows "macOS Mojave Version 10.14.15" in its About This Mac box.

It's still a problem for me in macOS and it wasn't 10+ years ago. I think it's the frequency of releases, not the naming.
