HP Elite x3 Windows 10
HP
is working on a top of the line Windows 10 handset to be called Elite x3. This
device was apparently codenamed Falcon, and it may have been benchmarked in
December of last year.
Anyway, HP is probably going to announce
the Elite x3 at MWC next week. Before that happens, however, you can feast your
eyes upon a couple of leaked pictures of the device, along with the full list
of its specs.
The Elite x3 is surely looking to be the
main competitor to Microsoft's Lumia 950 XL in the Windows 10 mobile ecosystem,
as it packs some very high-end innards.
It has a 5.96-inch QHD touchscreen, a 16
MP rear camera, an 8 MP selfie cam, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 chipset powering
it, 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB of expandable storage, a USB Type-C port with support for
USB 3.0, Qi wireless charging, a fingerprint scanner (which might be embedded
in that 'chin' underneath the display), an iris sensor, a special docking
connection, IP67 certification for water and dust resistance, as well as
MIL-STD-810G rating for withstanding drops from 1 meter or less.
The device is 7.8 mm thin, and will
probably support Microsoft's Continuum feature. It will obviously run Windows
10 Mobile. With such specs, you shouldn't expect it to be cheap.
