Barely a month after Lenovo took the wraps off its Tango-enabled Pahb2 Pro, the company has launched the smartphone in India. The Lenovo Phab2 Pro is now available in the US, Europe, China, and India. In India, the AR smartphone will be available exclusively on Flipkart and carries a price tag of 29,990 Rupees (around $440) which is way cheaper than the price it went up for in China.

The Phab2 Pro comes in as the world’s first use of Google’s Tango technology in a consumer device. It features a 6.4-inch IPS display with 2K (QHD) resolution. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor which is backed by 4GB of RAM as well as 64GB of internal storage. There is also a large 4050mAh battery onboard the device which has support for fast charging.

On the camera end which is the main highlight on the smartphone, the Project Tango-enabled Lenovo Phab2 Pro sports a 16MP  main camera at the rear, as well as Tango motion detection and position sensors. There is also a rear fingerprint sensor just under the cameras. Up front, the Phab2 Pro features an ample 8MP front-facing camera for selfies. The device also comes with a Dolby Audio Capture 5.1 with Dolby Atmos audio system onboard.

Ever since last year, we have been hearing about Google’s Project Tango which uses complex sensors and cameras on board the smartphone to map the space around the user in real time. This is really an interesting project and it is said that we will see the consumer version of Project Tango sometime later this year. Lenovo and Google had announced their partnership for this project earlier at CES 2016 and now, some more details about this Project Tango consumer ready device have cropped up online, thanks to the noted leakster, Evan Blass aka evleaks.

Evan revealed that Lenovo’s first Project Tango smartphone will be a large screen device and will be called as the LEnovo PHAB2 Pro. He also revealed that the phone will feature a 6.4-inch display, which is in line with what Google had said a while back. The company had confirmed that the phone’s display would be less than 6.5-inches but at that time, we were expecting something significantly smaller and not a 6.4-inch phablet. Another information revealed by Evan was that the phone feature a 2K resolution display. For such a massive size, 2K resolution sounds appropriate, since the pixel density comes to a good 459 ppi.

As for the pricing, we know for sure that the phone will be priced below $500.

In case you are wondering, Project Tango has many possible practical applications like finding measurements of a room, or even placing virtual furnitures inside a place. So, without having to use tapes or measurements, it will help to create 3D maps of rooms and other indoor locations.

Lenovo is expected to release the new PHAB2 Pro at Lenovo Tech World 2016. Hopefully, we’ll have more to talk about this device after the event.
