Microsoft&#39;s design&nbsp;<a href="/microsoft/windows-10/pensive-face/">previously featured</a> a more neutral, bored expression. Samsung&rsquo;s design <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.0/pensive-face/">previously looked</a> more guilty or worried.&nbsp;Not to be confused with <a href="/relieved-face/">😌&nbsp;Relieved Face</a>, which has similarly shaped eyes but in a happier expression.
