The mobile platform Windows has gone a long way - from one of the most popular operating systems for smart phones to the operating system, the development of which was minimized by Microsoft. And now, after the announcement of the termination of the development of the platform, the smartphone operating under the operating system Windows 10 Mobile again appeared on sale. What does this mean?
Last week, Microsoft began selling the HP Elite x3 version for Verizon's network. It should be noted that the device appeared on sale after months of rumors about him and his probable prospects. Initially, he made his debut in 2016. HP Elite x3 is a high-end smartphone operating under the Windows 10 Mobile operating system, a platform that the software giant is no longer developing. In more detail, the "novelty", probably completing the whole era - the era of mobile Windows - was considered by Florin T. (Florin T.) in a note posted on the pages of the resource phonearena.com with a link to Windows Central .
HP Elite x3 version for Verizon operator only on the Microsoft website. Its price has become lower and is $ 599. The package includes Desk Dock. Although Microsoft intended Elite x3 for business customers, other users can also purchase a device that is based on, probably, a mobile device that goes back to the past.
HP Elite x3 is a large waterproof phone with a 5.96-inch WQHD AMOLED display, whose resolution is 1440 x 2560 pixels. In it, both the iris scanner and the fingerprint scanner were used. The phone in question is equipped with the Snapdragon 820 chipset, which was the flagship chip of the past year. The device has that quality, which many users expect from mobile devices - stereo speakers. They support two SIM-cards. The amount of RAM HP Elite x3 is 4 gigabytes. The capacity of the built-in drive of the smartphone in question is 64 gigabytes. In addition, the device supports microSD memory cards. At the same time, the device is equipped with a "capacious" battery, the capacity of which is 4150 mAh, which, of course, is also an important advantage of HP Elite x3 for those users who would prefer to give time to charge the smartphone less often. However, the use of such a capacious battery is a very logical solution for a device with a huge screen and a sufficiently powerful chipset.
HP Elite x3 is definitely an interesting smartphone, and HP, which created it, did a lot of work. However, given that the Windows Mobile operating system is no longer relevant even for the software giant Microsoft itself, and the availability of many such smartphones on the market, the Elite x3 probably will not become a popular device. It is more important as a contact with the history of high technology.
Although Windows Mobile is almost in the past, this does not mean that Microsoft no longer seeks to bring its operating system to mobile hardware platforms. In 2018, the debut of a new category of devices is expected - Snapdragon PC, which will combine all the best features of smartphones and personal computers, and, in comparison with the usual laptops, an important advantage. It is these previously considered devices, which may be a further development of the application of popular computer operating systems from the software giant Microsoft in devices with more energy efficient mobile chipsets. After all, modern hardware platforms, designed primarily for smartphones, are already sufficiently productive and so that computers can be based on them.
