Next HTC Sense Home update to bring new Pixel Launcher style app drawer

Although HTC doesn't own a smartphone business any longer, the Taiwanese company will still launch another flagship by the end of the year. Google acquired HTC's workforce, which includes almost 2,000 engineers, earlier this week, in an attempt to turn its Pixel phones into a much more competitive lineup.

Regardless of that, HTC will continue to support its newest smartphones with updates whenever needed. In fact, a new report claims the Taiwanese company plans to release a new Sense Home update, which will include some major changes.

One of the many improvements included, the app drawer is supposed to mimic the swipe gestures of the Pixel Launcher. The way it works and the design of the new Sense Home will bring some of HTC's smartphones much closer to the Pixel phones software-wise.

We have yet to learn when exactly HTC plans to release the updated Sense Home update, but by looking at the leaked video, fans won't have to wait that long to experience the new features of the Pixel Launcher style app drawer.
