HP's Elite X3 gets closer to the dream of a Windows Phone as a PC

 

It offers improvements to Windows 10's Continuum, but it has plenty of problems too.

HP Elite x3 review: Yep, this was the last great Windows phone

 

HP's Elite x3 combines amazing hardware, tremendous battery life, a stellar Continuum experience, and support for older Win32 apps. Whether that's enough to buoy Microsoft's vision remains to be seen.

Workspace virtualized apps are something special ; Desk Dock provides an excellent Continuum experience ; Two (not one!) ways to log in via Windows Hello

Extremely high price out of reach for most consumers ; Workspace interface could use some ease-of-use refinement ; Mediocre camera

Workspace makes your phone your PC—for real. Say what you will about Continuum, or how well HP has implemented it; you’re still at Microsoft’s mercy. And because Continuum only supports Microsoft’s relatively new UWP apps, there’s a vast body of apps...

HP Elite x3

 

The HP Elite x3 is an unusual business-focused Windows phone that could really pay off for imaginative IT departments.

Big, clear screen. Easily IT managed. Integrates well with Microsoft Cloud and Salesforce. Turns into a desktop or laptop with Continuum.

Not as well supported by third parties as Android or iOS device. Continuum only works with a limited subset of apps. Main camera experienced focus problems in testing.

Comparisons and Conclusions The HP Elite x3 looks like a great solution for enterprises that want to consolidate their hardware layouts, are willing to buy into the full Microsoft stack (Office 365, Skype for Business, SharePoint, domains) and don't...

HP Elite x3 Review: A Productivity Dream with a Lot of Potential

 

Back in February at MWC 2016, HP unveiled a smartphone that many (including myself) called “breathtaking.” It's called the Elite x3, and the motive behind the name is simple: HP wants users to treat this handset as their smartphone, laptop, and PC. How...

HP Elite x3 review: The closest thing to one device for all of your needs

 

HP promises that its entry into the Windows 10 Mobile market, the Elite x3, is a 3-in-1, in that it should serve all of your computing needs. We put that to the test in our review.

HP's Elite x3 fills a very specific niche. If you're running a business and you're looking for one device to give your employees to fill every role, then look no further. And to be clear, that's exactly who this handset is aimed it.

HP’s Elite x3 Phone Is a Mini PC in Disguise

 

HP's Elite x3 can bolster productivity by transforming from phone to desktop to laptop. We certainly give the phone points for versatility, and the battery life seems impressive. But the process of going from handheld device to workstation mode wasn't...

Transforms from phone into mini PC ; Dual SIM option ; IT-department friendly ; Impressive battery life

Windows Phone lacks apps ; Difficult to type with one hand ; Occasional lags when switching apps

With the right accessories, the Elite x3 can convert into a laptop or desktop, but Windows 10 Mobile's lack of apps is still a turnoff.
