HP Elite 3X Specs + Features

[CSJr1]

This is the only thing that gives me pause:
- dual SIM card tray that can load dual nano SIMs or (1) nano SIM + 1 micro SD memory card

Right now with my 950 XL I am running 2 SIMs AND a micro SD card. The Elite X3 would not be able to incorporate my extra storage needs if I use the tray for 2 SIMs. And yes, I need more than 64GB (42 usable) from the Elite X3.

dual SIM card tray that can load dual nano SIMs or (1) nano SIM + 1 micro SD memory card

Yeah... That configuration confuses me when I see it too. Makes me wonder what they are thinking. It's an (new?) and odd ball setup. Not sure I approve either and that just on general principles.

There will be single sim (single sim + micro sd) variant as well as a dual sim (single sim + micro sd / dual sim) variant

Does this have glance?

That's the same thing, isn't it?

One tray, with two holders. One holder is dedicated for SIM, one is convertible SIM or SD card. Every phone will be able to vary. SIM + SD or SIM + SIM as the user determines.

That would depend, most likely, on Microsoft licensing Glance firmware to HP or HP creating their own "Glance" via firmware. My gut feeling is that HP/Msft will make it so. I have no actual proof, just a feeling that Microsoft is working closely with HP on this project.

Not really, what I was trying to say is that there will be a variant that only supports a single sim card just like some phones like the Samsung galaxy s7 and then a dual sim variant like they've been advertising that supports the one you described (like a Galaxy s7 dual). Get it?

 

[RumoredNow]

So does the single SIM model have an SD slot?

I'm basing this on things like the Honor: honor sim tray - Bing images

or the Moly W5:


Where spot 2 on the holder can be SIM or SD, but not both at once...

Seems wasteful and expensive from a production standpoint to put out 2 models with the new "adaptive" trays being available...

I'd like to see pics showing one slot and 2 slots as a variant before I believe that they are going with 2 distinct hardware configurations for this. It's a sealed unit, yes? No slots behind the battery cover. It has to be done with trays. Is there a 3 holder tray?

aww man I no longer have my Moto X Pure I'd have pulled the tray out and show you what it looks like. 1 tray holding a sim and a microSD card http://www.droid-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/moto-x-pure-sim-sd-card.jpg here
Sim card on one side and microSD on the other.

SINGLE SIM + microSD card slot? YES

 

[RumoredNow]

Right... One slot handles 2 cards... One mandatory as SIM and one SIM or SD...

A 2nd slot is needed to run 2 x SIM + 1 x SD.

I hope the radios on this support verizons network I'm stuck with Verizon for work. I love my Icon... but the Insider builds drain the battery quick on it and I get random crashes.

Instead of pressure they could have put a temperature feature, those working in data centers could use this feature, even at home

I know it has USB-C, but have to ask this as this would be a deal breaker for me.

Will Windows 10 Mobile finally have USB OTG functionality on this phone? I know the port can handle it, but will MS enable it on 10 Mobile?

I had that capability with my 4 YEAR OLD Galaxy Note 2, but my 2 year old Samsung ATIV SE didn't, even though the chipset (SD800) is almost identical to the S4 (SD600), which had OTG.

Made for W10M devices do support this.

Does anybody who is already using the Elite X3 have the "HP Display Tools" app installed ?

 

[realbart]

What is HP Display Tools? I don't see them in the store

details here : HP Elite x3 will include a number of exclusive Windows 10 Mobile apps | Windows Central
It is an exclusive HP app that incudes double tap to wake. I have a feeling that its only available with the anniversary update?

 

[DCW1000]

Display Tools not on my x3, which is running RS2 14926. Must be an app that will accompany the pending firmware update
