"Gentleman, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.” We first heard word that Hewlett-Packard was looking to get back into the smartphone game with a Windows 10 Mobile device back in late December. Codenamed “Falcon,” we were only greeted with some GFXBench results and accompanying specs for the device and little more.
However, a Hungarian site has actually uncovered images of HP’s Windows 10 Mobile smartphone prototype, and it’s called the Elite X3. We must say, this is one sleek looking device thanks to its plastic and metal construction and the groovy speaker cutouts below the massive display.

More importantly, if you thought that the Lumia 950 XL was a premium Windows 10 Mobile, the Elite X3 take things to a whole new level. The report claims that the smartphone features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with a generous 4GB of RAM, 5.96-inch QHD display, 32GB of onboard storage and a microSD slot that can accommodate up to an additional 200GB.
Also on tap are 16MP rear and 8MP front-facing cameras, a USB-C charging/data port, fingerprint scanner, iris scanner for Windows Hello support, Qi wireless charging, IP67 dust/water resistance rating and a MIL-STD-810 rating for drops. And if that wasn’t enough, the Elite x3 even supports Continuum (as you would expect with the stout Snapdragon 820 processor).

These aren’t just stellar specs for a Windows 10 Mobile device; these are specs that we’d kill for in any smartphone these days. Windows 10 Mobile might be an also-ran in the mobile operating system market, but it isn’t going down without a fight if HP has anything to say about it.
So what when are we going to see an official unveil of the Elite X3? All signs point to a public debut at MWC 2016 next week.

HP's Elite X3 isn't just a phone, it's a full blown office companion

HP is back in the phone business after their brief encounter with WebOS and the Palm Pre series of sliders. But this time, they're infusing top-end hardware into a Windows 10 phone to make it an all-in-one ecosystem for businesses.

The phone itself is a svelte matte-black brick of a case with a 5.96-inch 1440p display that's been stuffed with the Kyro cored Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset that has four total custom designed 64-bit cores with two operating at a blistering 2.15GHz and two more cores, for the less busy tasks humming along at 1.6GHz. It'll be paired with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM 64GB of storage, standard. In case that isn't enough storage it can be expanded by 1TB through the microSD card that's on board. Two SIM cards can be populated letting world travelers just keep in their favorite destination's carriers SIM just in case.

But the really interesting bit is the inclusion of a laptop dock, similar to the one that was being marketed with the Motorola Atrix from 2011. This lapdock is a 12.5-inch screen with a full-sized keboard, trackpad and a 48WHr battery attached, letting you use Microsoft's Continuum to display on the larger screen. The phone is being marketed towards businesses, where this one device can theoretically replace both laptop and phone, becoming the only device you might need to be productive. But just how would that work?

The Atrix was a failed experiment, mostly because it was hardly useful with a lack of productivity apps at the time, but also because it was largely seen as being unnecessary. Having separate productivity and communication devices is hardly a burden (and you'd have two physical, separate devices anyway) and even though the specs are mighty enough, it might not be enough for the kind of true multi-tasking PC power-users enjoy.

If anything it'll be an interesting experiment and could even spread into the more consumer-focused flair. The new Snapdragon 820 with it's redesigned Kyro core could surprise us all with it's efficiency and power. The A9X has proven to be an adept multitasker in the iPad Pro, so why couldn't this also provide the same type experience.
