Overview
- Google is said to be selecting 15 non-employees from its Pixel Superfans community to try in-development devices and provide feedback, according to Bloomberg.
- Participants must sign NDAs and use protective cases that conceal the phones’ appearance, with pre-release units carrying identifiers to trace potential leaks, outlets report.
- Application materials reportedly ask entrants to demonstrate deep knowledge of Pixel hardware and software and to propose specific areas for improvement.
- Google has not confirmed timing for the selection or testing, and coverage notes the window would need to be soon if feedback is to influence the Pixel 11 cycle.
- The approach would mark a controlled expansion beyond Google’s typical employee-only hardware testing, reflecting both demand for user input and ongoing leak-prevention measures.
