Prepare for a new set of emojis when the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge arrive on March 8. Alongside a slew of premium hardware you would expect from the new Samsung flagship including an added Micro SD slot and a water resistant casing, the Galaxy S7 also brings access to 159 new faces, objects and symbols such as a middle finger, the upside down face, a volleyball, a unicorn and a cheese wedge. While the Galaxy S7 will come with the new emojis, owners of older Samsung models must upgrade to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow to enjoy the new features.
Other standout additions include the zipper mouth, money-mouth, nerd face, hugging face, the five-hand, the devil finger sign, a robot face, and a thinking face. Food-wise, now you’re all ready for Taco Tuesday with the new taco emoji. Also take advantage of the slice of pizza and a fat burrito. Samsung’s rolling eye face is a bit weird compared to other platforms. Instead of conveying disdain, Samsung's version happily glances to the side with a weird smirk. Unlike Apple, Twitter, and Google, Samsung have not updated its emoji catalogue with a selection of skin colors.
This is the first time Samsung has upgraded its emoji catalogue since the release of the Galaxy S5 in 2014. Samsung officially announced the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge at MWC 2015 in Barcelona this week. Pre-order is available now. The new flagships will go on sale March 11.
