MWC 2016: HP Elite x3 is super strong Windows 10 smartphone

At the MWC 2016 in Barcelona HP presented the Elite x3 its new Windows Phone - and what a! The device is to be an all-rounder: smartphone, laptop and desktop PC. It is therefore also correspondingly powerful.

The display of the HP Elite x3 is 6 inches tall, and turns the device into a full-fledged phablet. The ostentation is also reflected in the interior: Under the hood namely plowing a Snapdragon 820, the top model of manufacturer Qualcomm, which can be operated from rich 4GB of memory. The internal memory of the HP Elite x3 is 64 GB and can even be expanded via microSD card up to even theoretically 2TB, The Verge writes about the device. A few days before the start of MWC 2016 images of Windows smartphones were leaked.

HP Elite x3 has everything: iris scanner plus fingerprint sensor
At the front of the smartphone Boliden sits an iris scanner and on the back also have a fingerprint sensor directly under the camera. It seems that the engineers at HP had just used everything it so specifies components for smartphones. The course is also reflected in the battery size: With 4,150 mAh of energy storage is ample sized. With this information, the HP Elite x3 is significantly more powerful than the not already feeble Microsoft Lumia 950 XL.

The Elite x3 is so lavishly equipped, because HP wants to offer a device that is more than just a phone. For pure phones, the printer manufacturer will hardly be able to compete with the Apple and Samsung in the world - with a universal device that can possibly work. Because the HP Elite x3 runs just with Windows 10 and can therefore Continuum. Thus, the device can connect to a monitor and then works - almost - like a regular computer or laptop with Windows 10th

Perhaps it is this function that could more people cause soon to take up a Continuum device. But: Currently running on smartphones with Windows 10 no desktop apps. One solution from HP is extremely hard to set up and not really suitable for the average Joe user. What so much expensive equipment will cost in the end, HP did not want to let on, because the device will be presented at MWC 2016 months before the planned publication - even so other apps can now be programmed. Because it since quite interesting launch of the Lumia 950 XL is still lacking from Microsoft. In terms of apps has happened in the Windows Store is still not much.
