HP Elite x3 is a premium Windows 10 Mobile smartphone produced by Hewlett-Packard. It was officially announced on February 21, 2016,[1][2] and released later that year.
Specifications
[edit]The HP Elite x3 was built for enterprise users with several enterprise specific features such as high-end processing power (Qualcomm Snapdragon 820), large and bright display (Samsung 5.96" WQHD AMOLED), IP67, MIL-STD 810G, Dual biometric authentication with Iris and fingerprint scanner, 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac, Cat 6 LTE, Bang & Olufsen sound, USB-C charging with a 4,150mAh battery and Qi/PMA wireless charging.
Continuum
[edit]Setting it apart from other premium smartphones, HP Elite x3's defining feature is its ability to connect to an external monitor, keyboard and mouse via the HP Desk Dock, providing a desktop PC-like environment, powered by Microsoft's Continuum feature on Windows 10 Mobile. HP also offers the HP Lap Dock, which is a laptop shell that does not have any computing power in itself (i.e. no CPU, no Motherboard, no HDD, etc.), but connects to the Elite x3 via wired (USB-C) or wireless (802.11ac) connection and powers the Lap Dock, which is essentially a display terminal with a keyboard, touchpad, battery and I/O ports in a laptop form factor.[3][4]
Reception
[edit]Debuting at Mobile World Congress 2016, the HP Elite x3 garnered over 30 "Best of MWC" awards.[5][6][7] However, despite some positive reviews by critics,[8][9][10] sales have been less than expected due to diminishing market position of Windows 10 Mobile as a viable Mobile OS platform.[11] While HP's sales and marketing have been focused on targeting enterprise customers, consumers are able to purchase the Elite x3 and the Desk Dock and Lap Dock at hp.com website[12] as well as in Microsoft Stores, both offline and online.[13][14]
Model variants
[edit]There is an EMEA+APJ model, an Americas model, and an Americas model connected by Verizon (US only).[15]
