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.

Samsung Galaxy Note7 renders and name leaked

It seems Samsung has opted to skip a number and go from Note 5 to Note7. The above renders  from Evan Blass confirm the name and some of the colours expected from Sammy's next-gen phablet. What else do we know about this device, it will have a double edge display, an iris scanner and will offer the SPen Stylus which will hopefully be better designed than the Note 5's notorious SPen which could get stuck when placed the wrong way in. We're hearing August 2 is the release date for the device, at least in the UK.
