User experience & usability

UIQ based mobile phones are designed for high performance in everyday use, wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

The UIQ user interface provides efficient and effective user interaction and enables good user experience on phones with varying phone styles. A good user experience is one of the main features of our product.

Usability our trademark
We pay close attention to the end user experience, aiming to make it as satisfying and intuitive as possible. Intensive cooperation with users has been the trademark of our design and development processes since the beginning. Our user-centric design is based on continuous user testing throughout the design and development processes. We work closely with users to design the interaction they want to experience. For mobile phones, user satisfaction is the most important measurement of usability. For this reason, UIQ Technology has developed its own usability testing method UTUM� (UIQ Technology Usability Metrics), a qualitative research method that gives support to UI design work. Besides ensuring user friendliness, having end users involved in the design process also leads to a richer user experience and helps us advance the entire software platform.
