Android Oreo marks the second time that Google’s struck a brand deal with a candy company to name the newest version of Android, and Google isn’t going to let that go to waste. 8.1 Oreo brings a new Easter egg of – you guessed it – an Oreo, but it retains the freaky movable octopus as well.

Accessing the Easter egg requires the same steps that have been in place for years: Settings, then ‘About phone,’ then tapping a bunch of times on ‘Android version.’ Whereas we previously saw some sort of layered orange circle (likely intending to represent some sort of dessert), we now see an Oreo with a lot of cream showing.
