SAMSUNG TO ADD NEW EMOJIS TO ITS DEVICES

Sat 29 October 2022:

The tech giant Samsung has added new emojis to its devices with the release of the stable version of it’s One UI 5 upgrade for Android 13.

Support for Unicode 15 will be included in the most recent upgrade. As a result, Samsung’s smartphone will be the first to use the newest emojis on Android.

Emojipedia reportedly declared in September that a fresh set of emojis would be made available through Unicode 15, a standard for managing, representing, and encoding text.

31 new emojis, including a shaking face, a jellyfish, a hair pick, and more, will be included in the upcoming edition.

Back in September, Google announced it would be bringing support for Unicode 15 for Android by December.

Apparently, that wasn’t soon enough for Samsung, as Emojipedia’s blog announced Samsung had already added support for Unicode 15 to its One UI 5, according to a report.

As mentioned earlier, Unicode 15 only contains 31 new emojis, but with One UI 5, Samsung phones will get a total of 138 new emojis.

Samsung had ignored the 107 emojis that came with Unicode 14 back in 2021, which the company will be bringing with One UI 5, it added.

The “Maintenance Mode” feature, which Samsung just unveiled for Galaxy phones running One UI 5, would safeguard customers’ private information while the phone is being serviced.
