If there is one thing that HTC has always been well known for, it is for its Sense custom layer. In a time when you had to relegate to custom layers to get a slightly special interface, Sense was the ultimate in this regard. It even managed to capture the attention of iPhone users who were looking for a way to bring part of the interface to their Apple phones.
HTC is now sending out invitations to try Sense Home 8 on non-branded Android devices, which is a whole scoop and novelty. We could almost say that if you can't beat your enemy, join him. This type of strategy has worked very well for Microsoft, which has been able to reach more users with its excellent apps in the Google Play Store since it launched them and demonstrate its worth, as happens with this watchface.
With this movement, it also joins that of other companies that have taken the apps of their custom layers to the Google Play Store, although this time it is their main application for home it really is something very striking. It is quite true that being able to have the option to install the Sense launcher will cause many users to switch to it due to the quality it possesses.
The invitations are reaching users who have Android 4.4 or higher, although what is not known is when the testing phases will begin. An interesting move for any user to know first-hand what Sense is when they install the launcher and can convince them that the next one could be one from the Taiwanese company. The other aspect in which the launch of this launcher can come in handy for HTC is because of what BlinkFeed may imply, which is responsible for selling its advertising space, so it could make a profit.
We will be attentive to the arrival of this app and the possibility that we can test the APK.
And the invitation?
