Samsung is the only Android company to ship phones using its own custom emoji font that differs from the emoji set provided by Google. Other Android phones are still using emojis from Google unless the phone is a Samsung.
Samsung emojis are glossier and sometimes more detailed than those from Google. Some apps have their own custom emoji designs, including Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp.

Above you can check all the new emojis within Samsung One UI 2.5. These new emojis in One UI 2.5 are based on Emoji 13.0. Furthermore, nearly a thousand previously released emojis have had their designs updated in One UI 2.5.
A significant proportion of these changes are due to gender-inclusive designs being used where emojis don’t specify a gender. Previous Samsung One UI versions displayed non-gender-specifying using either the 👨 Man or (more often than not) the 👩 Woman variant.
Following this update, Samsung’s human emojis follow the same gender-based color pattern as Google and Twitter: purple for the 👩 Woman, orange for gender-neutral 🧑 Person, and blue for the 👨 Man emojis.
🆕 NEW
Samsung’s One UI 2.5 includes two new smiley emojis and a single new gesture emoji, namely Smiling Face with Tear, Disguised Face, and Pinched Fingers. As with all gesture emojis on Samsung devices[4], Pinched Fingers supports skin tone modifiers. Also included in One UI 2.5 are two new anatomy-based emojis, Anatomical Heart, and a pair of Lungs.
There are eight new people emojis introduced in this update, all with skin tone support bar the abstracted People Hugging (as per Unicode’s recommendation). Check the image on Emojipedia.

👆 INPUT
All 116 new emoji designs are accessible via the latest version of the Samsung emoji keyboard. When using the Samsung emoji keyboard, all three gender options are displayed upfront in the keyboard for all people emojis. This is distinct from the Google Gboard keyboard, where only the gender-neutral designs are shown initially and gender-specific variants can be accessed by pressing and holding down on a specific gender-neutral emoji. Check the image on Emojipedia.
Users are also able to access skin tone variants of 🤝 Handshake and the three versions of 👯 People with Bunny Ears. These skin tone options are not currently recommended for general Interchange (RGI) by Unicode. Check on Emojipedia.
There is an issue with the 👪 Family emoji, however. Despite the 👪 Family design being updated to display gender-neutral individuals, the non-RGI skin tone modifier versions of this emoji were not updated in the same way.

Samsung could launch the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone next year. The company has collaborated with LG Uplus to develop a custom smartphone. The device is said to feature Galaxy AI and LG Uplus’s AI call assistant ixi-O.
Sources citing KEDGlobal revealed that Samsung and LG Uplus working together to develop the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone. It’s a big development in the smartphone industry, while the handset is highly likely to be Korea-limited.
Samsung fans are well aware of the Galaxy AI feature suite. ixi-O is an AI-powered digital assistant developed by Korean carrier LG Uplus. The company plans to enter the smartphone market, featuring its own-developed AI assistant.
The report indicates that Samsung and LG Uplus’ ixi-O AI Phone will launch as early as next year. The development project focuses on crafting a “real AI phone” that goes beyond simply integrating AI assistant services into a smartphone.
ixi-O comes with useful features such as AI call answering, detecting voice phishing in real-time, recording and summarizing phone calls and converting voice conversation into text – all within an on-device environment.

Based on specifications, the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone will be based on a Galaxy phone available globally. The design will match with a global Galaxy smartphone, but the software may be tweaked as per the carrier’s requirements.
A custom Galaxy phone isn’t shocking or impossible in South Korea. Samsung releases Quantum, Buddy, and Jump-branded phones in the market. The company collaborates with Korean carriers to bring these devices to mainland Korea.
The carrier introduced an on-device AI-powered ixi-O assistant earlier this month. LG Uplus will initially target its consumer base for the new AI Phone. However, the AI Assistant may be expanded to a broader audience across Korea.
Samsung could use Gauss2-based Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The company’s next-gen Generative AI model is 1.5 to 3x faster than the first-gen Gauss model. The DX division is already using Gauss2 to ramp up internal productivity.
Gauss2 offers improved performance and efficiency in simultaneously handling various data types. In the previous article, we’ve demonstrated its three distinct models that cater to different purposes: Compact, Balanced, and Supreme.
Samsung says the second-gen Gauss model offers equal or superior performance in response generation than leading open-source generative AI models. That said, the Galaxy AI will become faster and smarter with the inclusion of Gauss2.
Thanks to faster processing speed, Gauss2 enables quicker AI response generation. This way, the Galaxy user won’t have to wait much time. The company stated that it will continue to expand the reach of its AI-based services across all product lines.
That said, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is likely to boast Gauss2-based Galaxy AI. This upgrade will result in even faster processing of tasks and execution. Features like composition, image generation, and translation would benefit from Gauss2.
Earlier, we broke the news that Samsung is crafting an advanced AI technology. The Gauss2 press release indicates that the future Galaxy AI iteration could be integrated with knowledge graph technology to offer relevant results.
The Galaxy S24 series also uses Google’s Gemini Nano AI model. The fruitful collaboration offers futuristic capabilities on Galaxy devices. Samsung is rumored to use an enhanced version of Gemini Nano across the Galaxy S25 lineup.
Meanwhile, Samsung’s development may have indulged Gauss2 capabilities on the Galaxy S25 series. Integrated with new processors and optimized software, the company’s AI model would offer faster, reliable, and smarter results.
