If you're eager to create personalised emojis and stickers but don't primarily use Snapchat or own an iPhone, Samsung's AR Zone app could be a perfect fit for you. Offering a range of entertaining augmented reality tools, this app is designed to let users craft their avatars for custom emojis and stickers, along with other fun AR functionalities that might go unnoticed by many.

Similar to how other apps generate avatars based on photographs, AR Zone features a built-in tool allowing users to fashion their cartoon avatars based on a picture. The app's character-builder offers customisation options for the face and outfit, granting users the ability to create personalised avatars without using a photograph.
