Google is also fixing its beer emoji in the latest version of Android

Google is releasing a new version of Android today (December 5), and with it are updated, fixed versions of its much-criticised emoji, The Verge first reported.

The most notable one is the hamburger, which caused such an echoing outrage on the Internet that the company's very CEO, Sundar Pichai, felt compelled to chime in.

It seemed unreasonable that Google's designer would put cheese below the patty, so Oreo v8.1 is placing it where it rightfully belongs, between the meat and tomato.

But the controversy over the hamburger icon brought users to take further inspection of Google's emoji catalogue, and the beer emoji also seemed to be in dire need of a visual overhaul.

The old icon placed some foam inexplicably floating above an air gap that separated it from the actual liquid, while the new emoji sees the glass filled all the way to the top (as it should be).

Pixel and Pixel 2 customers will be happy to update over the course of today and the rest of the week, but not only for emoji.

The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL's update will finally enable the Pixel Visual Core, Google's self-designed (and previously dormant) chip which will help with its HDR algorithms to get even better pictures out of the phones' already-stellar single lens.
