HTC has started the beta testing of its Sense 8 Home app on non-HTC devices. The app is available for all Android 4.4 and higher devices, though you have to be a member of HTC’s Preview program to be able to download the app.

While the Sense 8 launcher does not pack in any such customisation options as such, it does support Themes and looks far more polished than other third-party launchers in the Google Play Store. Swiping to the leftmost homescreen provides one access to Blinkfeed, which acts as a one-stop screen for quickly catching up on your feeds from various social networks and news.

The Preview program is nearly a month long, so it is likely that we will see HTC release its Sense 8 Launcher to the public sometime in the next couple of months.

Will you switch over to HTC’s Sense 8 Launcher when it is released on the Google Play Store? Or will you stick to your current launcher of choice?
