HP Elite X3 is a Windows 10 smartphone that comes with the popular Continuum feature and powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC clocked at 2.15GHz. There is 4GB of RAM and 64GB internal storage and a microSD card slot provided as well for expanding the memory.

There is also lots of fancy high-end features like fingerprint scanner, iris scanner, wireless charging, IP67 certified water resistance etc. to make it a real flagship device. The battery capacity is 4,150mAh. HP Elite X3 will be available with two accessories - Desk Dock and Mobile Extender.
The Desk Dock is a display dock similar to Microsoft’s Display Dock and it comes with a Display Port, two USB Type-A, one USB Type-C, and RJ-45 ethernet port to use the Windows 10’s Continuum feature. Once the connections are made, a secondary screen converts into a Windows 10 PC
The Mobile Extender is an accessory to convert your HP Elite X3 into a laptop It comes with a battery, a 12.5-inch full-HD display and a keyboard.
