Samsung adds Frozen AR Emojis to the Galaxy S9
Samsung clearly thinks that AR Emojis are better than people, as it adds the world of Disney's Frozen to its flagship Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+.
One of the key features that Samsung launched the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ smartphones with back at Mobile World Congress was the inclusion of AR Emoji; animated selfie shots that used your facial animations to create both still and animated emojis for you to use in messaging. Any similarity to any animated emoji-style creations from Apple was, no doubt, entirely coincidental.

What wasn't coincidental was Samsung's tie-up with Disney for the rights to use select characters as AR Emojis. Samsung has today released an AR Emoji pack for Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ users based on Disney's Frozen.
I'd like to pause here to profoundly apologise to any parents reading this who are no doubt earwormed with that dratted song again. You know the one.
Anyway, if you're rocking a Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9+, all you need to do to style it up as Elsa, Anna, Hans or Olaf is open up your camera app, switch to AR Emoji mode and tap the "+" symbol on the right hand side to enable downloading additional stickers.
The Frozen AR Emoji pack is a free download, although data charges for downloading will naturally apply if you're on a mobile network.
