How to change emojis on Android, with or without root access
Want new emojis on your Android phone? We explain how you can change emojis on your device, with or without root access.
Emojis are great because they enhance modern digital communication by adding emotions and expressions. They also evolve over time as the Unicode Consortium frequently adds new ones. Google delivers the Unicode-ratified set of emojis to Android phones with software updates, so you don't have to go hunting for them separately. But since these updates take time to reach all Android phones, some of them are left behind with older emojis. Some OEMs also replace the default Android emoji set with their own version, again creating a disparity between what’s available on your phone versus your friend's phone.

Vivo X90 Pro Plus review: This kitchen sink phone sets a high bar for 2023 flagships
The Vivo X90 Pro+ packs some of the newest and best mobile tech in one big, slightly garish package.
The Vivo X90 Pro+ is an overkill phone in every sense of the word. From the unnecessarily long name to the tacky over-branding on its backside; the gigantic camera bump to the cutting-edge components used, it's the so-called "kitchen sink" phone because Vivo seemingly threw every mobile tech possible at it. In all my years of reviewing smartphones, only a few devices have hit the scene with this much "new" hardware: the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. The Vivo X90 Pro+ joins the list.

Galaxy S10 Lite owners in the U.S. still await Android 13, even after its latest update
A new firmware has arrived on the Galaxy S10 Lite in the US, but Android 13 is no where to be found.
As the largest handset manufacturer in the world, Samsung has a lot of devices in its catalog, which means it has a lot of smartphones that it needs to maintain over the course of several years. For the average consumer, getting an OS update might not matter, but for those that are more in touch with technology, getting the latest version of Android is a huge deal.
Most phones that aren't Pixels are lucky to get timely major updates. While Android 13's rollout has been pretty quick on Samsung smartphones, but OEMs like Nokia have been taking their sweet time to deliver the update. With a little time left before the year is over, the Nokia G50 and the Nokia XR20 are now getting a taste of Android 13.
It’s been a busy year for Samsung as the Korean OEM continues to bring One UI 5.0 to its vast portfolio of devices. With the holidays just around the corner, Samsung is spreading some cheer by releasing the Android 13 update to the Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Tab A7 Lite, A71 5G, and Galaxy M23 5G.
