So, as i had said in my previous post there are more features associated with the bad boy S9 and S9+, there is a new feature called AR Emoji, some people call it a rip off of animoji as in this feature you can turn into an AR yourself and also an AR animal. Well in this post we will discuss everything about that feature.So, first of for those of you who don't even watch apple's keynotes and conferences or belong to an Anti-Apple group or have been living under the rock for past few months, Animoji is a feature exclusive to the I Phone X and 8/8 Plus in which you can become an animal(even poop) and record your facial expressions and voice or take a selfie using the highly advanced sensors on the black notch on your I Phone.

So, What is AR Emoji, it is a feature presented by Samsung at the MWC 2018 at Barcelona and it lets you turn your selfie or live photo into an AR version of yourself which you can customize such as change hair style, complexion , Glasses and others. You can also turn yourself into an animal and as soon as you do it the System automatically creates 18 stickers to use in chatting and messaging. In apps, that don't support the feature yet still may let you send it as still image.

Let's Talk of how you can get one if you have a Galaxy S9/ S9+ or will buy one when it will be out for everyone.
