The blobs now look more human but display will depend on the Unicode version available.

The Verge did a comparison of the two sets. Notice that the blobs seem to have more “life” in expressing an emotion.

A zip file is now flashable so Android users can start using the new set of updating emojis even if it’s not Android N yet. This means any rooted device can have the Android N emojis.
