We have at MWC 2016 in Barcelona many new products pass by and was surprisingly one of the most interesting products at first glance at least, Windows 10 smartphone from HP. The US manufacturer introduced its first phablet possessing and therefore offers interesting possibilities with Continuum on Windows 10 Mobile.
HP Elite X3 hands-on review
HP Elite X3 we recently held had was a pre-production model that is not 100 percent identical to the final version, and moreover the Mobile Extender laptop worked quite yet, but the idea of HP was our brief hands-on clear .
The Elite X3 itself is a 5.96-inch smartphone, equipped with an oLED display with a resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels. Under the hood we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor back, accompanied by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage memory. Furthermore, the phablet with two stereo speakers on the front, WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, a microSD card reader to expand the memory, a 16 megapixel camera on the back, an 8 megapixel webcam on the front, a fingerprint scanner and 4G / LTE. Also, the device is resistant to water and dust and the unit can be charged via microUSB Type-C port. As you see will HP with this model show to have everything to offer the best ‘productive’ smartphone.
the screen is the first thing that stands out, both on paper and in practice. HP, the device features an impressively good screen. The color reproduction is very dynamic and of course, the contrast is high level and the black levels are very deep. Also, the focus, of course, impressive.
In terms of performance, there is still little to say since we are a very make early model had but navigating through windows 10 mobile proceeded nice flowing, just like the link to external accessory as a monitor and a keyboard. Here and there it took unlock the device some time, but this was due to HP, according to the pre-production model. In short, in terms of performance, we really need to wait for the full review.
the design is also a positive point, though it feels device by its large size which log on. However, with 195 grams, and a profile of 7.8 mm there we can not really complain about. Silver speaker grill gives it a chic look for the rest gray device and premium materials provide a high-end feel.
Windows 10 and Continuum
Perhaps the most important achievement Elite X3 is a feature of Windows 10; Continuum . This allows you to your ‘little’ smartphone create a full desktop or laptop. HP this course offers the ideal accessories; HP Mobile Extender and a special and compact HP Desk Dock.
compact Desk Dock provides a complete desktop experience HP Elite x3. it features a DisplayPort for external monitor support, two connections for a USB-a and USB-C, and an Ethernet connection for seamless scaling up productivity . The dock supports the HP Elite x3 with or without a protective case. Turn the camera in the dock, connect a monitor and keyboard here, and you’ve got a full-fledged desktop in front of you within seconds. In terms of performance, you do not go in reverse and everything in Windows is scaled fine (adapted) on the larger screen and keyboard. However, the ‘brains’ of it all remains the smartphone.
The HP Mobile Extender is a laptop with a 12 , 5-inch HD screen. the screen is hardly processed hardware, purely because the control is via the smartphone. However, a keyboard is coupled to the screen, whereby one is actually from your smart phone makes a monitor with keyboard (in the form of a laptop). Instead of the desktop you will create a laptop; the laptop is docked, the monitor and keyboard in one. Unfortunately, this model was not seen working at MWC 2016
HP is fully committed to the business and user productivity, and of course this also means that there are added in various software applications and solutions. Inter alia, for added security and opportunities for companies.
conclusion
Unfortunately, a real conclusion about the HP EliteBook X3 is impossible to draw even, for that we have too little time with a device that does not like the final version is able to play. But, what we have seen and do left a very good impression. We are very curious about the pricing of the smartphone and its accessories. We expect more information from HP for the summer.
