HP has released handsets with various systems and was pinning its hopes on Android, at least in the tablet market. However, the company recently reported that it has more interest to continue launching products with the Google system and will focus all its energies on bringing smartphones and tablets with Windows 10.
The Elite X3 is a great test the company to invest heavily in Windows 10 Mobile. The smartphone brings cutting-edge hardware with all the features that Microsoft offers and search further expand with new technologies in development. It makes clear that the ideal is to invest in a single system, whether for PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones, which expands and unifies the experience.
Dell is another manufacturer of PCs and tablets also stopped next Android to focus only on Windows 10. However, there are still companies that invest in a more heterogeneous ecosystem, as the case of Samsung selling tablets and notebooks with Windows, Android phones, and smartwatches and TVs with Tizen. Integrating all this is more complicated, which can make the South Korean follow the footsteps of Dell and HP in the future, but instead of betting on Windows it expand the development of its own system.
However, HP is not giving a definitive goodbye to Android, not this time. The company claims that focus only on Windows 10 is easier to integrate PCs with smartphones, but the market still demand for more Android devices the company will launch a new product with Google’s system in the future. However, the Elite X3 is the first of several smartphones with Windows 10 Mobile.
HP admits that continue to invest in Android devices is complicated further with the arrival of Chinese products with increasingly aggressive prices. Launch a good Android tablet for less than $ 99 is a difficult task, but less so to launch a good product with Windows 10 for $ 199. And the company even cites the fever of the moment, Pokémon Go:
“We’re not trying to hit the volumes and Android with ranges of products,” said Michael Park, vice president and general manager of HP mobile sector. “We are going after IT shops, especially. There are a lot of people in the business domain that is not interested in Pokémon Go”.
In the end tablets with Android, the company is also giving an end in hybrid products with Windows and Android. Does such a bet on only one system is right for HP?
