After several days of trying out the new HP Elite x3 at the CRN Test Center, we're not ready yet to predict whether this is the future of computing. But the device is definitely futuristic. It feels legitimate to say, as HP does, that the Elite x3 is a new category of device-the "3-in-1.

Everything about HP's Elite X3 seems like a gamble. It's the company's first phone in two years, and it's the first major Windows Phone device since Microsoft's Lumia 950 debuted last year.

Workspace virtualized apps are something special; Desk Dock provides an excellent Continuum experience; Two (not one!

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

What if there was one device to replace them all? What if you no longer needed a laptop or a desktop to get work done? That's what HP is trying to provide with the new Elite X3 phone.

The HP Elite X3 is a high-end Windows phone built with serious business in mind.

Love my phone, durable and solid feel in the hand, finger print reader and iris scan is awesome! Windows 10 a little buggy but fast and responsive....wish it had more apps but then again if I wanna play games I have my android, it's only 999 at windows store, I wouldn't pay 1500 for it tho...

I was trying to edit my first review but seems you can't. So very quickly just wanted to add the new firmware and Windows 10 mobile anniversary were finally released for the HP Elite X3. The difference is amazing...I am finding this phone now as, or more stable than my Galaxy Edge 7.

HP first showed off the Elite x3 back in February at the annual Mobile World Congress show, and a few months later, we got a sneak peak of an updated version of the device during HP's big business printers and business PCs launch event in Macau.

After quite the hiatus, HP is back in the phone business with a bang: the Elite x3 is a Windows 10 phablet with big aspirations. It's not content with merely being a king-sized smartphone, either: the Elite x3 wants to depose your phone, your PC and your laptop, too.

At the presentation of the company's representative emphasized several times that HP Elite x3 is not just a smartphone, a multi-function device designed to replace a laptop, desktop and phone one gadget.
