According to Fact Co Design website, work on these emojis were in progress for one and a half year. Plus, these ones will be more user friendly.

The creative director of Google's Material Design, Rachel Been, said,"It's a communication issue."

A product manager for Android, Gus Fonts, more said,"We're doing a full redesign of the emoji set", adding,"We took a look at many things, but mostly the thing that's most striking is, perhaps, that yes, the candy dots or blobs, are now substituted with a set of squishy circles-for a lot of good reasons."

It is noteworthy here that Android O is ready to bring wide range of features besides redesigning emoji set. Also, the OS is ready to include, picture-in-Picture, notification badges, Google Chrome autofill, new home screen for Android TV, smart text selection, and background limits.
