It was pretty clear that HP Elite X3 will precede in terms of specification, and features compared to Lumia 950 XL but IMO it does by one generation.
While Microsoft chose to use Snapdragon 810 with Liquid Cooling, HP chose Snapdragon 820 which is much powerful and stable compared to its predecessor. Buying Elite X3 gets you an extra.
- 4GB vs 3 GB RAM
- 32 GB vs 64 GB internal storage.
- 8 MP vs 5 MP Camera
- Fingerprint Sensor
- B&O Speakers on front should be impressive.
- Premium accessories with Desk Dock and Mobile Laptop Dock.
The only drawback which I see is the camera where Lumia 950 XL will definitely lead with 20 MP OIS camera. We will have to wait for a comparison, and actual images.
