We start from the target audience for which this new smartphone has been developed: for HP Elite X3 is "executives and workers for commercial productivity", ie the executives and employees of those whose activities strongly linked to personal productivity. Thinking about these HP users want to provide a calculation tool and personal productivity, and not just a device to look up information but also to create the data, which thanks to Continuum can find ways of use that are different than the standard and that it can act as a central aggregation of all relevant data.
The choice of the Windows Mobile operating system 10 has therefore been for HP in fact a necessary step, wondering how in corporate environments are the Microsoft Windows operating systems than most widespread. With Elite X3, thanks to Windows 10 Mobile, IT managers do not have to worry about ensuring compatibility between applications and the data used in the Windows desktop systems and those of which serves Elite X3, thanks to the universal Microsoft App. This works very well in theory, but in practice the ecosystem Windows 10 Mobile is still struggling to emerge seen the involvement of developers that create App that is well below that which can be observed for iOS and Android.
Elite X3 is not in HP's intentions just a smartphone with OS Windows 10 Mobile and Continuum technology, but a solution much more comprehensive and it wants to open spaces of use different from those typical of competing proposals. Looking at the technical characteristics, for that matter, you can better understand what it means HP with this. We start from the SoC, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 model is the latest evolution of the American producer as well as a step forward compared to what is implemented, for example, by Microsoft in the models Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL. This ensures SoC, to said HP, the computing power necessary to ensure a user experience with Continuum that is really appreciated by the users.
The screen has a diagonal of 5.96 inches WQHD resolution (2560x1440 pixels), type AMOLED Corning Gorilla Glass finishing 4. A diagonal of this type, if it was worth even this classification of smartphones, would return with full rights in the category Elite X3 the phablet. The onboard memory is 4 Gbytes, with LPDDR-4 technology, while local storage is 64 Gbytes. HP certifies the SD expansion as compatible with memory cards from 2 Terabytes, skills that could eventually be offered on the market.
Since this is a product aimed at the market of non-professionals lack a superior audio subsystem, developed by B & O and equipped with two front speakers and cancellation system activates the background noise. All this, together with the front camera 8 megapixels, has been implemented to ensure a high-quality video meetings.
Safety and durability are two other requirements that HP wanted to ensure in Elite X3: This smartphone is equipped with IP-67 certification (immersion up to 30 minutes up to 1 meter deep) and reflects the standard Mil Standard 810G, including resistance to fall from a height of 4 feet. HP has implemented the Secure Boot technology, Image Encryption, Anti-Roll Back in hardware thanks to the work developed by Qualcomm. Side software with the Microsoft partnership has led to the implementation of TPM 2.0. 128bit hardware encryption and BitLocker encryption, and it lacks support FIPS 140.2 Cryptography.
Among the remaining specifications we report the 16-megapixel rear camera, as well the 4150 mAh battery, the thickness of 7.8 mm, the dual SIM support (two SIM cards Nano or a Nano SIM card and SD memory card). In the sample shown during the presentation and shown here it is not a fingerprint sensor has been implemented yet, but HP has confirmed that this feature will be part of the Elite X3 to debut coming on the back of the camera below.
Significant technical features, OS Windows 10 Mobile and a building marked by ruggedness and a high operating autonomy system are the elements behind Elite X3, but there is nothing but HP has added to what we might call a true and ecosystem product.
To exploit the HP Continuum technology proposes Elite X3 with its Desk Dock, which is inserted directly on the smartphone so as to arrange for its recharge in rapid form, the connection with a screen and interface with other devices thanks to the presence of USB connectors -C and USB-A. Also available are an Ethernet network connection, through which ensure maximum transfer rate of the data once entered into your corporate network.
A second accessory is indicated with the name of Mobile Extender, which in fact seen from the outside is identical to a notebook. Integrates a 12.5-inch screen, connection ports with perferiche, a battery of 48 Wh and obviously a keyboard with touchpad, but lacks an internal SoC or memory, as acts as a display and I / O interface Elite X3 in a similar way to what would occur via Continuum Desk Dock connecting to a display, mouse and keyboard.
HP confirmed that Elite X3 will be coupled to other more traditional accessories, which cover designed specifically which will be displayed in the vicinity of the official market launch. We speak then of availability: we will have to wait until the end of summer for marketing, which will take place simultaneously in 10 countries including Italy.
A product for the public of professionals, which HP will sell through partners or directly on its website proposing in particular the bundle between smartphones and accessories, largely Desk Dock and Mobile Extender.
In the company's Elite X3 intentions is not intended for end users, but private consumers will have it available if you are interested getting, according to HP, a product that embodies 3 internally to which alludes to the name: a phablet, a tablet ( as small) and a desktop solution. At the present time, given the time difference with the debut period on the market, there is no information on pricing.
