Remember that time that Samsung launched that Galaxy S9 phone and had those weird AR Emojis on it? The ones that we thought were kind of cool to start with but then quickly got tired of? Well... they're back.
Technically, they never really went anywhere, but Samsung has brought out a new wave of choices for your phone, taking the number from 18 to 36.
For those that don't remember, AR Emojis are cartoon-like representations of the user - created through a picture from the front-facing camera - which are coded into little GIFs to express emotions that you can send through social media or messaging apps.
The first 18 were fine, but we found that our pals quickly tired of receiving weird little images of us - especially as we were forced to use the same ones again and again.
So with that in mind the new options (shown above from Samsung) will add a little bit interest to things, although these seem a bit more 'snazzy' than before. More of the glamorous about them, if you will.
It's not going to stop there either - Samsung has pledged to bring more AR Emoji to the range, bringing the total up to 54 soon.
Whether it'll launch on other older phones too - it's been claimed by the technology creator's CEO that this is possible - remains to be seen, but for now it might be time to dust off this feature if you've forgotten about it on your Galaxy S9.
- If you've got a Samsung Galaxy S9, you should probably have a Samsung Galaxy S9 case for it...
