Google recently announced for the first time its new 3D emoji designs for Pixel phones and other Google products. These innovations, which will be offered to users with the Android 17 update, are already arousing curiosity in the technology world.

Following the official launch, a large portion of the library containing more than 4,000 emojis was leaked onto the internet. This leak allows users to take a much closer look at the new designs.

First Details from the New 3D Emoji Library

The leak, shared by RKBDI on Twitter/X and Telegram, reveals approximately 250 new 3D emoji designs. This new set, in which the entire library can be loaded on devices with root access, includes face words, animals and various objects.

While 3D designs remain true to the brand new look in some figures, fundamental changes in some emojis attract attention. For example, while the turtle emoji looks quite close to its old form, some figures such as the skull have been completely renewed.

In some categories, such as moon phases, there are more obvious and clear improvements. Google particularly emphasizes that these designs were specially prepared by humans, not artificial intelligence.

Android 17 and its arrival on Pixel devices

Google has not yet officially released this comprehensive emoji update that will come with Android 17. It is certain that the new designs will first come to Pixel phones later this year.

The general appearance of the new 3D emojis is compared by some users to the emoji methods on Samsung and Apple devices. This move by Google seems to aim to increase visual consistency across the operating system.

These visual innovations that will come with Android 17 aim to take the user experience to a more contemporary level.

So, how do you like these new 3D emoji designs prepared by Google for Pixel and Android 17?
