HTC unveils its consumer Preview program: wants early product feedback

June 24, 2025

HTChas been having a pretty tough year and appears to be turning to us, the consumer, for tips and feedback on its upcoming products, which might just help to turn things back around. During a Reddit AMA, HTCannounced its new Preview program and is currently accepting registrations from its fans.

HTC is looking for early feedback on its software and successful applicants might even be invited to take part in hardware trials before products are released to the majority of consumers. However, HTCsays that this isn’t a guaranteed way to get early hands on with new hardware and shouldn’t be viewed as a faster software upgrade path either. HTCstates that it is looking for responsible participants, as the signing of NDAs is required.

Reading further through some of the AMA responses, it seems that another aspect of the HTCPreview program will be about collecting information on device usage. Statistics on app usage times, battery information and even network quality look to be of interest. HTCcan then see how consumers use their devices in order to make better product decisions.

HTC also mentioned that the program will eventually expand to additional carriers and that the company is looking to bring EU and Asian consumers into the program in the future.
