A new HP Elite x3 Windows smartphone might be coming soon

Last year, at MWC 2016, HP unveiled a very interesting device: the Elite x3, a 6-inch water-resistant smartphone running Windows 10. Now, the company is seemingly planning to introduce a successor to the x3.

PC World spotted a new Elite handset being showcased at MWC 2017 behind a glass enclosure. Reportedly, an HP spokesperson said that this was "an example of how" the company sees the "future iterations of the x3 platform." At the moment, there's no further information about the device, so we don't know when it's supposed to be officially announced. In any case, we assume that HP will soon unveil more details about it.

The unannounced HP phone doesn't look too different from the original Elite x3, but we can spot a few differences. For example, the mysterious handset seems to have thinner bezels around its screen, while its front-facing camera has been moved to the left. Moreover, it appears that the phone doesn't have a bottom speaker, like the original x3 has. Nevertheless, Windows 10 is obviously (and unsurprisingly) on board.

Since the Elite x3 from last year packs a Quad HD display, a Snapdragon 820 processor, and 4 GB of RAM, we expect the new iteration of the device to offer high-end features, too. We'll bring more on this as soon as HP has relevant info to share.
