HTC is one of the leading makers of premium smartphones, with the latest in line being HTC One M9.
This device came in to receive some significant criticism where some users claimed that the phone was faced with overheating issues, something that was largely associated with the Snapdragon 810 chipset installed in the phone. In the wake of this and other pressing issues that have been popping up from consumers of HTC products, the company has decided that it wants to get this feedback in time so as to act fast and quick.
Also, the company will be hoping that this newly launched platform will help it gain better insights into its future products with the help of customer feedback as well as tips.
HTC announced its new Preview program during a Reddit AMA and as of now, all fans are open to register with the program.
Early feedback on HTC software
HTC wants to make use of early feedback on its software applications so as to get in quickly and make amends wherever needed. Successful applicants to this new program might even get a further chance of being part of their hardware testers; however, the company warns that this should not be considered as a way of getting your hands on new products. Also, HTC says that this shouldn’t be considered as a way of getting upgrades to new software applications.
The smartphone maker is adamant that it wants responsible participants since it requires that NDAs be signed.
One aim of launching the new Consumer Preview program is for HTC to get information on the usage of their devices, for instance, app usage stats, battery information and even quality of network will be of huge interest for the company. In this way, HTC will have a better picture of how people interact with their devices in a bid to come up with better decisions on these products.
Further requirements
To join the HTC Preview program, one needs to be a user of any of the four major wireless carriers in the U.S namely T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T as well as Sprint. Interested parties can check out the link to the program here.
HTC has promised that this Preview consumer program that has initiated in the U.S. will move to other countries in the EU and Asia as well as include more carriers in the U.S.
