Did you know that there are multiple versions of Emoji...because I sure didn't.
I've only discover this because I've been using Pushbullet for Mac-to-Android SMS and use Emojipedia when I need to insert one.

My personal fave is Google's blob design, but since they're completely revamping them in Android O, I'll give the nod to Twitter. iOS's aren't bad, but the the skeuomorphic design is starting to look kinda dated.

Android has the best for 80% of them

iOS has weird shading on most of the non face emojis

 

[Afrocious]

twitter easily

 

[FZZ]

Twitter or Apple's is the best

Android used to be the GOAT tho

 

[NYCmetsfan]

apple

 

[quesalupa]

Facebook then Google blobs. Although the picture in the OP isn't FB's greatest.

samsung clearly has the worst

Honestly my least favorite thing about the S8.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

samsung clearly has the worst

 

[Stopdoor]

Don't know why anyone likes Apple emoji, sucks Android is dropping blobs and going with ugly shading.

Twitter is next best then.

[Spine_Ripper]

Majority of Google >>> Facebook/Twitter > the good iOS >>>>>> trash

 

[Velikost]

Samsung, though I can't cosign that one you have in the OP.

I was shocked at how shitty my friends' emojis were on their iPhones

 

[TheTylerRob]

Gun emoji was ruined forever 🔫

 

[Busaiku]

🤔

 

[13ruce]

Google.

 

[dottme]

This?

 

[_Nemo]

Apple obviously. Others just seem like 2nd hand knockoffs.

 

[thebeeks]

Google blobs, now and forever.

[StriKeVillain]

Lmao at Google and Microsoft.

 

[Deepwater]

twitter is too flat for me, but I also like the old Apple emojis

 

[Diabelli]

apple

 

[HiiiLife]

Apple.

Holy crap at microsofts

 

[Tagyhag]

Find me an emoji with more personality.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

How'd you put an emoticon in the title?

 

[Rodney McKay]

For the thinking emoji examples in the OP, I genuinely do love Samsung's.
I just find it hilarious whenever I see it on my S7.

For other emoji's, no major preference. I don't really use them much.

 

[The Real Abed]

You have to think of Emojis as just an extension of normal fonts. Everyone can have different looking ones because it’s just a font file. It’s the reason Apple, Google, Samsung etc all look different. It’s like if you had Helvetica, Garamond and Comic Sans. They’re all the same letters but they all look different. It’s also the same reason the web versions of Facebook and Twitter use their own. They just link to their own font file for them if only for assurance that everyone sees the same thing and no one gets weird empty boxes.

That said I still prefer Apples.

Microsoft’s are the worst though.

 

[Smellycat]

WTF at the Samsung Love emoji. It is so creepy

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

Why is the best version not represented in this list?

 

[ZeroX03]

Apple and Twitter.

 

[23qwerty]

WTF at the Samsung Love emoji. It is so creepy

Samsung has fucking garbage emojis, its crazy

[Moonkid]

WTF at the Samsung Love emoji. It is so creepy

?? They clearly have the best one of the bunch.

 

[enzo_gt]

As much as I hate that super glossy look, it's Apple.

Google's always look deformed or like they don't quite get the emotion trying to be portrayed right.

 

[Htown]

only vaguely related, but is there a good extension I can use to make emojis not look like ass in Chrome?

 

[manakel]

The rolling eyes one pisses me off, because it doesn't even look like it's rolling its eyes! I could never live with those trash Samsung emoji.

[Tuck]

twitter - nice and simple.

 

[ctfg23]

Google used to before they got rid of the blobs

 

[BrutishMrFish]

blame space

 

[chrisPjelly]

I miss the blob Emojis

 

[Patterbits]

I'm partial to FB messenger's. They're so much better than the iOS ones.

 

[ZeoVGM]

R.I.P.

 

[Kisaya]

I personally like Twitter's

 

[Katori]

I like the iOS ones and the Android ones. It's a shame they're getting rid of the gumdrops.

The Messenger ones are okay too, I just hate how they can look super different from the iOS ones, but I guess that's bound to happen when there's room for interpretation.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

the blobs had a ton of personality, but most importantly the ones meant to represent negative emotions looked like they were in genuine fucking mental anguish

 

[Elfforkusu]

Google blobs are the best.

But every once in a while one of the lesser sets has a winner. The Apple thinking face is great.

 

[Acorn]

MSN emoticons, some were animated and stuff. Still never be beaten, fuck emoji.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

I prefer the flat ones over any with shading and crap added.

 

[BitStyle]

Twitter, but Google blobs are nice too

 

[Ivan 3414]

Im partial to Google's blobs.
