Please post the whole sentence. For example, it could occur in a sentence like "It isn't X, whatever else it might be", meaning that it could (as far as the speaker knows) be many other things, but not X.

Perhaps it doesn’t show the caller’s name, maybe it doesn’t take messages, and it might not have a volume control; but whatever else it might be, it is an inexpensive and functioning telephone.
The expression admits that it might have other possible purposes and confirms but that it definitely is a telephone. It depends a lot on what the item is that is being described.
