hi
until now it is not clear for me
can x3 elite run x86 programs later ?
or we need to upgrade to new phone !
i didn't even open the box
i just received it
if not i will sell my phone now
At this point it is a wait and see thing. It is probably capable. I was watching the Full demo by Terry Myerson last night, and afterwards one of the VPs from Qualcomm came out carrying the X3 in hand. Later noted that the demo Myerson gave was on the same chipset as the HP unmodified. Not sure what that means for the X3, and that is all we really have. There are others around the forum that have more insight on this though. So, it is up to you.

I think for now the X3 will mostly run any x86 from it's Web Portal service. So you can in Contiuum run Chrome and any other offerings that way.
It may yet come to pass that an update to Windows 10 Mobile will allow this, as the X3 has the chip that ran the demo.
I can't see Microsoft slapping HP in the face at this point, after HP has placed faith in Microsoft and it's direction.
For some reason I still think Microsoft is going to play a primary hardware role in this and not just software side. But not like you'd expect. Maybe something along with Qualcomm in the ways of, if you want W10 on ARM then it has to be built this way. Not just providing the OS backend to do it.the web portal service - HP Workspace - needs a lot of backend support, stuff that the normal joe won't have.
Do not be optimistic here given Microsoft's past, I will not assume any big new features for phones that are already released.
The X3 may have the same chip as that on the demo but also remember that Continuum was demoed on the Lumia 930 and 1520 in the past. (Someone also hacked Continuum to work on the 830 but performance wasn't terrific.) The Windows Phone community put faith in MS and look what happened.
MS not supporting x86 on existing phones won't be much of a slap since its just business-as-usual for them and that I imagine HP didn't necessarily know/think that x86 was going to come.
Why did you buy the phone based on the fact that it will run x86 apps and then asking this on the forums to decide whether you will return it or not? Did HP advertise this feature ever? No.
Decide based on the assumption that it will not run x86 apps. Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10 ARM with x86 emulation are different OSes, I doubt there will ever be an upgrade path between the two.
If it does come later, consider it a bonus.
because i never knew that the windows phone will support x86 apps
when i received i saw that mobile phone will support x86 apps
i paid 999 $ for it
it is not cheap ,,,,so i will sell it ,,,and i will wait for the better one
Just return it, and get your full bank back. The Elite X3 does not currently run x86 apps natively even if through emulation. Are you wanting to use the virtual desktop/continuum feature HP offers? It does utilize the HP workspace though to run x86 apps if you pay HP to use it, and even then I am not sure how the licensing and requirements there are set up.because i never knew that the windows phone will support x86 apps

to be fair it isn't too much of a jump to a conclusion that the x86 on ARM will be for phones. Although he probably made the mistake of thinking it'll be available really soon and jumping on too soon. Either way, back to the store the x3 should go!I think he might be trolling... or he doesn't make sense. The phone was never advertised to run x86 apps. Nor was it ever said that phones will support x86 apps, even with the MS announcement of Windows for ARM, it still has nothing to do with phones. or current chipsets for that matter.
5. and i will wait for the better one - Which better one?
