Ignore Android Oreo - Google may have just revealed big news about its Android P upgrade GOOGLE. Google looks set to reveal more news about its blockbuster Android P upgrade in the coming weeks.

The search giant's yearly I/O developers conference gets underway next month and it's likely that more details about this major Android software update will be announced during the big event. However, new images released online may give fans their biggest hint yet at what's to come. The downloadable wallpapers, which have just been revealed by Google, feature a colourful spring theme with bikes, kites and flowers.

But one of the pictures, which shows an ice lolly, has attracted plenty of attention and got rumours flying around the web that Google is teasing its next release early. With the tech firm always following its sweet-themed naming conventions some are speculating that the next version of Android might be called Popsicle.

Theres no confirmation if this is true and we're guessing the only reason why this name could cause some controversy is that the Popsicle brand is mainly targeted at a US and Canada market.

We'll find out more in the coming weeks but some lucky developers are already getting a taste of Android P. Google has just pushed-out a preview of its next version of Android which appears to bring a slew of new changes to the operating system.

One of the headline features in Android P is the in-built support for notch-style displays, like the iPhone X. Google has included a number of pre-set notches to house the sensors at the top of the edge-to-edge display.

The developer preview will enable app creators to test how their software performs on displays with this design quirk. Another headline design change is the use of rounded corners in the Quick Settings panel and notification dropdown.

Notifications from messaging apps will now include a preview of the last message sent in the conversation – and enable users to send a reply direct from the notification.

Google has also improved Autofill, which should make it easier for password managers and other third-party apps to enter your password. Google is widely-tipped to announce more features during its annual developer conference, Google IO.

Powerful 'MISSILE attack on military posts sparks EARTHQUAKE in Syria'

A SERIES of terrifying missile attacks have plummeted military bases in Syria and sparked

an "earthquake", according to reports.

Syrian TV confirmed a "new aggression" of missiles had targeted military outposts

in the northern part of the war-ravaged country.

In a news flash, state television said the attacks occurred near the cities of Hama and

Aleppo at 7pm GMT on Sunday.

"Syria is being exposed to a new aggression with some military bases in rural Hama and

Aleppo hit with enemy rockets," an army source was quoted as saying without elaborating.

Earlier, state television said successive blasts were heard in rural Hama province and

that authorities were investigating the cause.

The Jewish Press added: "A 2.6 magnitude earthquake was recorded close to Taqsees,

Hama, Syria… at the same time Syrian TV reported several explosions in the same area."

Another Twitter user said: "The arms depot explosion near #Homs actually registered as

a 2.6 magnitude earthquake.

Boom!"

The reports remain unconfirmed.

An opposition source said one of the locations hit was an army base known as Brigade 47 near

Hama – widely known as a recruitment centre for Iranian-backed militias who fight alongside

president Bashar al-Assad's forces.

Less than two weeks ago there were similar reports of airstrikes on government military

installations in the central Homs region and the suburbs of Damascus.

But the military later said a false alarm had set off air defence systems.

Earlier this month, seven Iranian military personnel were killed in an airstrike on a

Syrian air base in Homs.

Syria, Iran and Russia blamed Israel for the attack but the country did not confirm or

deny it.

On April 7 a suspected chemical weapons attack was allegedly carried out in Douma.

This prompted a US-led response a week later on April 14 against chemical weapons factories

in Damascus.

Britain and France also formed a vital part of the devastating response.
