Pixel 11 ships with Android 17's new 3D emoji [Gallery]

Unveiled earlier this year, Google is shipping Android 17’s new 3D emoji design on the Pixel 11 series.

Google first showed off its 3D emoji redesign back in May, with the company later explaining why it settled on this design which effectively boils down to adding “dimension” and life to the design. These new designs are built by a team of designers, and are not AI-generated as some assumed may be the case.
