TL;DR

• Google introduced Noto 3D emoji, its latest redesign, back in May around Google I/O.
• The new set has now started to roll out with devices like the Pixel 11, but availability is still very limited.
• Google is now sharing a list of manufacturers who will be getting Noto 3D on their phones.

Emoji on Android are getting a fresh new look. Back in May, Google first shared its latest emoji overhaul with the presentation of its Noto 3D set. Beyond just picking up a new 3D look, familiar emoji are getting a glow up with a lot more detail. Now they’re finally starting to arrive, but if you’ve still got questions about who’s getting access, or what exactly all these new emoji are going to look like, we’ve spotted some answers.

We first saw Noto 3D emoji hitting phones with the release of the Pixel 11 series. And now with more devices moving to Android 17 and related platforms, like Nothing OS 5.0, they’re finally starting to spread. Now Google Design is sharing a closer look at how Noto 3D came to be — and who’s getting it next.
