HP's enterprise-focused Windows 10 phone, the Elite X3 coming to Canada

HP has responded to a need that Microsoft itself seems to have failed to address, which is the need for a true flagship Windows 10 smartphone that's powerful enough to be considered for the enterprise.

HP is bringing the HP Elite x3 Windows Phone to Canada in time for the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update (SP1), this is a premium mobile productivity device designed for business users who want simple and seamless access to the people, apps, and data they care about without the burden of switching from one device to another.

They can start a task on the go, and finish at their desk or another location without saving, synching or restarting when using the Elite x3 with Microsoft Continuum, HP Workspace, and the optional HP Elite x3 Desk Dock and HP Elite x3 Lap Dock.

Leaked photos of Sony’s supposed upcoming flagship surface

Looks like we’re getting a new entire look for Sony’s next flagship, if these leaks are your basis. GSM Arena was able to get their hands on what is supposedly Sony’s upcoming flagship. The Xperia F8331—which will probably get a new name—is unlike the Xperia Z lineup in terms of looks. It has a Nokia/Microsoft Lumia feel to it. The top and bottom of the device is now flat, while it’s curved to the right and left of the device. The camera gets a new layout with dual-LED flash and it supposedly supports 4K video capture on both front and rear shooters.

The screen is slightly bigger than the Xperia X Performance but still maintains a 1080p resolution. It gets front-facing speakers but there’s still a panel at the back, which they speculate could be an antenna window. Its rear looks like it’s been made with brushed metal. There’s also an NFC antenna near the earpiece, USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. No word on release date yet but they’re speculating Sony might show something at IFA this year and this could be one of them.

Two new ‘Shot on iPhone’ ads surface, one of them shot in Ontario

Apple takes us to the great outdoors in our backyards with the two new “Shot on iPhone” ads. This time the highlight is on nature and the zoom feature of the iPhone. One of the ads was shot in Greater Sudbury, Ontario. Called “Shot on iPhone by Linda H.” it shows a slow-motion close-up of a chipmunk trying to break into a peanut with the song “Season 2 (Episode 3) by Glass Animals in the background.  The other clip was shot in Tel Aviv, Israel and labeled as “Shot on iPhone by Tim W.” We see an ant carry a leaf fragment across sand with Charlotte Day Wilson’s “Work” playing in the background.

The “Shot on iPhone” ad campaign shows how actual iPhone users make the most of their iPhone cameras (without any special tools or software) while being backed by songs taken from Apple Music.
