WTF!!!!.....Price is 1 lakh... Even iPhone 7 is half the price of this... That too with unfinished OS... Still there is no popular apps... W10m is still in development stage... Price should not go above 30k...So that people atleast consider to buy...

This is the best Windows Phone to date. The design is both elegant and functional and feels solid in your hand. The screen is sharp and vibrant with crisp, clear images and bright colors. The phone both looks and feels like a premium product as you would expect from a high end device.

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.

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

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.

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.

While having a very, very small market share, there are some excellent Windows 10 phones out there. The flagship Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950 XL were and are some of the best the platform had to offer, with solid performance, good looks and high end specs.

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 allow BYOD.

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

Have had the phone now for a few months, my 10th Windows phone. Has owned Nokia, Microsoft, Samsung, and now HP's variant of a Windowphone. Have been in support with HP when I managed to crash the first one I had, very nice support experience. Is very pleased with it.

It may be all work and no play, but the $699 HP Elite x3 is far from dull. It's the flagship Windows 10 Mobile device for the year, and it's potentially a mobile worker's dream when supported by the right line-of-business apps. In the hands of the right IT department, it can be a clean, secure mobility solution that replaces corporate-liable phones, tablets, and thin-client terminals with one set of devices. The phone isn't going to appeal to individuals, though, as it lacks many apps and experiences average users want. Physical FeaturesThe Elite x3 ($549.99 at Amazon) is a very large phone. It measures 6.26 by 3.29 by 0.31 inches (HWD) and weighs a hefty 6.84 ounces. It has a striking 6-inch, 2,560-by-1,440 screen. Below the screen, there's a chrome bottom bezel with a stylized speaker grille highlighted by a small Bang & Olufsen logo. An 8-megapixel camera, which includes an iris scanner for Windows Hello facial recognition, sits above the screen. The phone is water (3 feet ...

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