  "account": "Google has launched the Pixel 11 series, featuring Android 17's newly designed 3D emojis. Initially unveiled in May, these three-dimensional emojis aim to bring \"dimension\" and life to the design language. According to 9to5Google's reader poll, most users preferred the new design. However, older Pixel devices still lack this feature, though an update is expected soon. The \"Emoji Kitchen\" has yet to adopt the 3D style, suggesting a significant update to custom stickers is required. While the new emojis are growing on the writer, they also feel familiar, as if borrowed from iPhone or Samsung devices. This sentiment stems from the difference between using emojis in their usual small format versus their enlarged version on larger screens, a concept Google previously emphasized in its advertising and announcements. Despite this initial oddness, the new style is expected to become more normal over time, much like when Google lost its distinctive \"blobs\" design.",
