4 Animoji Has Fewer Options

At launch, Animoji featured 12 characters: alien, cat, chicken, dog, fox, monkey, panda, pig, poo, rabbit, robot and unicorn. While new Animoji are being introduced in iOS 11.3, the options are still fairly limited. And, as we’ll get into later, they can’t really be customized.

Samsung’s approach is a bit different, and it’s more similar to a sticker-based app like Snapchat than it is to Animoji. While there are technically only three animated characters available at launch, there’s a huge variety of “stickers” and customization options that can be applied to your AR Emoji clips — including one pretty big feature (in the next slide).
