Elite x3 with updated specs spotted at MWC!

[James Falconer]

I'm hearing rumors HP may be releasing an updated Elite x3. Looks like an updated handset was spotted it at the back of the HP booth. Anyone else heard the same? Super optimistic about this. Thoughts?

I find it kind of weird that they don't seem open to questions about it. It makes me wonder what they would update in it, aside from the processor.

I hope they have added a dedicated msd card tray, so two sims and a 128 Gig Msd card. You would be all set for a long time :grin:.

It's almost a perfect device so for me personally better thermal and battery management using more efficient components would make it a stellar device.

If ARM64 and Windows on ARM wasn't round the corner I most likely would have gotten this phone myself. This was one of the reasons I cheaped out on a second hand 930. I hope snapdragon 800 phones do get some more polish in the future updates.

If it doesn't support the full Wallet functionality I'm not interested. I miss tap to pay on my 950 XL when I moved to the X3.

A better camera, maybe?

I read the X3 was being used with the barcode scanner attachment thingy to scan peeps in

It would be nice if it was consumer oriented this time. That way they have one phone for businesses and ones for consumers.

It's hard to tell. I feel they did what they do best with the current X3 aiming it at the enterprise market. They took in tons of interviews/suggestions/r&d before building and releasing it. They are dumping a FW update out for it almost every month. I think if they do release one more, it will be a refresh to correct/add/modify what the current x3 needed. It could even appeal to more businesses depending on what they change, and where Microsoft ends up after the summer ends. I am wondering if since they did what they do best with this first device aiming it at the enterprise if they will drop one for consumers soon too...Knowing what they know now, building their first and for now only W10M handset, if they do release one into the wild for consumers at least they have some experience now. I think Alcatel kinda did the same. Their first was the Fierce XL right? Now look how they came up front with the Idol 4s...

Wish items (may never come to pass of course)
VZ version
OIS
Tap to pay (even if that meant a slightly smaller battery

But seriously 835 chips aren't really available, so not sure what could have been changed, speakers?

I love the new thinner bezel (on the top and bottom especially) in the Elite X3 refresh concept phone. That is one of the two things that bugs me about the current Elite x3. So if the phone in that image has an actual display and the display is not just a paper mockup insert, that is pretty exciting.
