Google's project TANGO come to reality through Lenovo
Project Tango came from Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects lab, and it’s designed to bring new indoor tracking and augmented reality capabilities to the world right from your smartphone. Prime uses include better augmented reality gaming, or even interior decorating a home via an app just by pointing your phone around you. Google has now dropped the “project” from Tango, seeing as it has fully matured into a commercial product.
To utilizes these features, you need the right hardware - that’s why Lenovo announced its partnership to make the first smartphone enabled with Tango at the beginning of 2016. It’s finally here, along with two other devices the company announced at its second annual Lenovo Tech World convention.
Getting the basic specs out of the way, you’ll find it’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 652, with 4GB of RAM. The Phab2 Pro comes with 64GB of internal storage, which is nice, considering several manufacturers still ship with 16GB or even 8GB starter options. That’s just not enough these days. If you want even more, there’s MicroSD card support, and you can double your storage up to 128GB.
The IPS display sports a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, and the edges of the glass are rounded at 2.5D. The design looks somewhat similar to the new line of Moto G devices, which makes sense considering Lenovo now owns Motorola. The Phab2 Pro is more rectangular, though, and its unibody is made of aluminum alloy. The rear camera features 16-megapixels, as well as a depth sensor and a motion-tracking sensor, which is required to make it Tango-certified. The selfie camera is packed with 8 megapixels.
