Microsoft and HP at Mobile World Congress this past February announced the HP Elite x3, a large-screen smartphone that many label as the first truly compelling Windows 10 Mobile device. After months of waiting, the handset is now available for purchase both online and at Microsoft’s more than 100 retail locations.
The phablet consists of a 5.96-inch, edge-to-edge WQHD (2,560 x 1,440) AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 4 that’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 SoC, Adreno 530 graphics and 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. The 64GB of local storage is expandable via microSD card slot up to 2TB (it shares the same slot as the secondary SIM).
