Tailored for today’s dynamic work style and environment, the HP Elite x3 was made for you to be productive no matter where you are. Whether you’re at your desk, on-the-go or even working at a remote location, you will never be sidetracked from the task at hand. If you’re mid-way through your work and have to rush out for a meeting, all the work you’ve done at your desk can be continued through the Elite x3. The smooth and seamless transition is what HP prides itself on.

The Beast Within
As seen from the benchmark scores, the Elite x3 simply blew the competition out of the water by garnering an impressive score on the AnTuTu benchmark app. Even I was in disbelief when I saw it ranked second, right below the iPhone 6 Plus and not even by a huge margin. Running on a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, the Elite x3 was built for greatness, and greatness is what it achieved.

More Ways To Secure It
Although fingerprint scanners to secure your mobile device has been around the block for the past few years now, HP has decided to take it one step further with an integrated iris scanner located at the front face of the device. Now you have more ways than one to secure the Elite x3, ensuring your personal data remains personal.

Point To Ponder

Bangin’ Speakers (Point 1)
Located at the bottom of the Elite x3 lies the Bang & Olufsen Play speakers, allowing you to have clearer conference calls with noise cancellation microphones.

Larger Than Life (Point 2)
The non-removable Li-Po 4150mAh battery for the Elite x3 has an insanely huge capacity, allowing you to do and accomplish more on a single charge.

Perfect Viewing Angle (Point 3)
The Elite x3 is 0.04 inches shy from a full 6 inches, even shadowing over the iPhone 7 Plus. This makes the Elite x3 perfect for streaming videos or even completing work.

Clear As Day (Example 1)
The portrait capture on the phone is great with the camera picking up on the contrasting blue and yellow colours.

WYSIWYG (Example 2)
The balance between light and colour is great, allowing you to view the picture clearly and brightly as a whole.

Zoom Not Needed (Example 3)
