If this doesn’t ring any bells, let me take you back to one of our old articles about leak of a HP Elite X3 successor from MWC 2017. If you compare the leaked images from that article to the prototype ones posted by Hikari today you will notice that both belog to one and same smartphone.
HP Pro X3 proto has slimmer design, narrower bezels, different FFC position just like the device as shown in the images below. Even the camera module is same on both HP Pro X3 proto and the leaked images below.
