Google unveils the official Android Pie statue at its Mountain View HQ

TL;DR

• After unveiling Android 9.0 Pie yesterday, Google has unveiled a pie-themed statue at the company’s headquarters.
• Just like with the Nougat statue, this year’s sculpture consists of a bugdroid standing next to a pie.
• Now it’s time to start speculating about Android Q’s name.

Unlike last year, Google didn’t host an event to unveil the name of Android P. Instead, the company chose to announce Android 9.0 Pie through a blog post. But in typical Google fashion, the search giant finished the day by uncovering a large Android Pie sculpture that will sit at the entrance to the company’s Mountain View headquarters.

In years past, Google has worked with its sculpture maker to create fun and unique statues that incorporated the bugdroid and that year’s tasty treat. This year, though, the figure is boring as it’s just a waving bugdroid standing next to what looks like a cherry pie.

This isn’t the first time that one of Google’s lawn ornaments was less than awe-inspiring. Two years ago, the statue for Android Nougat had the bugdroid standing on top of several chunks of the candy. Unfortunately, not every year can be a winner.
