Lenovo Phab2 Pro is the first Tango smartphone

As rumored recently, Lenovo has today taken the wraps off the first Project Tango phone. It’s the Lenovo Phab2 Pro, and it’s been more than a year in the making. This follows the Tango tablet that launched in 2014, after the original Tango announcement earlier that year.
The point of Tango is to have an AR experience that ‘disappears’ into the background, isn’t obvious but is useful and helps you do stuff easier and better. Google thinks these AR features are going to become the next GPS, so to speak.

The Phab2 Pro has a metal unibody, and you’ll be able to buy it in gold or silver. It comes with a 6.4-inch QHD IPS touchscreen, and no less than four cameras. There’s an 8 MP selfie camera on the front, a 16 MP main camera on the rear, as well as a depth camera and a motion tracking camera – also on the back. The handset runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow and has a fingerprint scanner and a beefy 4,050 mAh battery. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 652 chipset and can record sound in 5.1 surround thanks to Dolby Atmos technology. 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage are in too.

Thanks to Project Tango, the phone uses the motion tracking and the depth sensing cameras to learn areas, so it can recognize places (say, rooms) in which it’s been before. It’s able to map physical spaces, it can track objects, and it can project virtual effects in what is a real-world space. It can help you navigate indoor places or provide contextual information about the objects it’s seeing. A special app store for such Tango content is promised by Lenovo to ship on the Phab2 Pro, and it will house around 25 apps at the beginning and possibly 100 by the end of the year.
