Chinese device manufacturer Lenovo officially unveiled the world's first ‘Project Tango’ Android-powered smartphone at its 2016 Tech World event this week.
The new Lenovo handset – which boasts support for Google’s Tango futuristic augmented reality (AR) platform – is called the PHAB2 Pro. The handset is scheduled to hit the markets in September this year.
According to the details shared by Lenovo, the 6.4-inch PHAB2 Pro smartphone will be sold unlocked for $499. The handset will available through the Lenovo website starting September; with Lowe’s stores also to offer the device during the 2016 holiday season.
However, the Lenovo PHAB2 Pro will not be officially supported by bigwig US wireless carriers – AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint – or their smaller competitors, probably because the carriers feel consumers are not yet ready to spend money on AR. As such, it will not be possible for consumers to walk into a carrier's store and experiment with the PHAB2 Pro handset.
Nonetheless, one of the most attractive and useful features of the Lenovo PHAB2 Pro handset with Tango technology will be its indoor navigation capabilities; thanks to its 3D mapping and sensors.
