Lenovo Phab 2 Pro’s Tango technology comes with a wide-angle camera and special depth-sensing unit to the main 16MP rear camera. This means that it can map out the physical surroundings, or project virtual effects in a real-world space. To say, the size of the room or the presence of other people.

Lenovo is demonstrating Tango technology with a variety of apps, including VR shooting games, educational app, etc. If Tango fulfills its promise, using Phab2 Pro, customers will be able to download the digital models of coffee tables to see how they would look like in their actual room. Or, it can display information about an artist or a scene depicted in a painting as you stroll through a museum.

According to Lenovo, the device will come loaded with about 25 apps ranging from games to location-based apps to utilities in a special app store and it expects 100 apps to be available by the end of the year. Although Lenovo brought another milestone to the smartphone market, the technology is in its early stage of development. Alongside Tango technology, Lenovo Phab 2 Pro features an oversized 6.4-inch display and a metal construction. The display is quad HD and the device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 652 processor coupled with 4GB of RAM. Fingerprint scanner, 4000mAh battery, 16MP cam, etc. are the other specs.
