HP Elite x3 - Best looking Windows Phone Ever?

[James Falconer]

Just had a random thought and wanted to post here for feedback. In your opinion, is the HP Elite x3 the best looking Windows Phone ever? If not, which one is?

Overall Nokia 1520 IMHO

The X3 is a great business-looking phone though.

Elite looks very nice but I have to say I preferred the more curved shape of the 1520 overall. At the end of the day, all my phones go in a leather folio case so it's the front that makes the biggest impact of aesthetics, and that silver bar ruins it, especially since it's tacky plastic rather than metal.

Would have preferred a full front of glass personally.

The lack of a rubber? gasket between the screen and phone of the Elite vs the 1520 is a lot more desirable though. build quality looks a lot better because of it, though lost as soon as you look at that bit of silver plastic. even black would have been better than silver!

Actually, I like the squares thing at the bottom.... they started a few years ago putting that design on the front of their servers, so I think it's kinda neat they did it on the phone too. I'm a super HP nerd though....

Nothing beats that AT&T green on the Lumia 1520 for me (not that it would look great on a "business phone"), so that is a close contender. The HP is super nice looking though. I only had it a week before I had to send it back for a replacement, and I already had a number of people comment on it.

I am considering getting the elite x3 and I was looking to get a nice HP laptop since I need to get a new one for work but nothing they have compares to the size and power of the Dell Precision 5510 sadly. So I'll be intermingling brands. lol

I like the X3! I love the 1520. I would be happy with either.

In a different way, I think the HTC 8x with its color combos, hit the "style" of WP8 perfectly and strikingly. They truly out-Nokia'd Nokia. The hardware, on the other hand....

x3 looks beat every lumia to date.

X3 cheap plastic speaker cover ruins it

cheap plastic speaker cover

You're making it pretty obvious that you've never seen it in person. You can't tell it's not metal by looking at it.

Wrong. And maybe you cant tell.

I am probably alone here but I admit that HP Elite x3 does look really nice, though I still don't think that Lumia 950 looks as bad as some people claim.

 

[Mark Guim]

I like the build quality of the x3, but I still like the look of my lumia 950 with red leather mozo case

Nothing beats that AT&T green on the Lumia 1520 for me (not that it would look great on a "business phone"),

I had a lime green case on my Blackberry Perl as well as on my One M8 (with the dot view trick). I bought some of my staff Minion star wars cases for our S6 phones.

When I bought a used 1520, I made sure it was green. People in Board meetings love it.

Unfortunately, the HP rugged case is boring grey.

I love the look of the x3 and I'm contemplating getting an x3 phone and an x2 tablet that has the same look as the phone.... they would look awesome together! Both have front facing speakers and I miss having that on my bb playbook and phone AND on my HTC HD7 phone... I don't find the metal looking bottom looks cheap at all!
