Great Design & Features, Powerful Productivity

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

HP touts the new Elite x3 as more than just a smartphone. Instead, it says the $699 device can serve as a 3-in-1 system for work. When bundled with a desk dock for $799 or with both a desk dock and a lap dock for $1,299, the Elite x3 can expand into a full-on PC workstation.

Don't be fooled by the form factor and your initial impressions -- what we have before us is not a typical smartphone. Well, technically we suppose it is, but the experience is not intended to replace your commonplace , , or other handset.

HP Elite x3 review

Windows phones have had a hard ride. They aren't bad, it's just that Android and iOS is more popular. The high-end, high-spec HP Elite x3 is aimed squarely at business users but there are reasons to buy as an individual too. Here is our HP Elite x3 review.

There's no doubting it: the HP Elite x3 is a capable smartphone. It's packed with high performance hardware that positions it in the same pack as industry leaders, like the LG V20, Google Pixel and iPhone 7.
