  Lenovo, on Thursday launched the much anticipated PHAB2 Pro, the world’s first Tango-enabled AR smartphone in India. Lenovo PHAB2 Pro is priced INR 29,990/- and is available exclusively online on Flipkart from today onwards. It will be made available in Champagne Gold colour.
Unlike any other phone, the PHAB2 Pro is powered by Google’s Tango technology – a set of sensors and software that detects and maps surroundings to enable a host of cutting-edge smartphone augmented reality (AR) experiences possible. For example, using AR apps, students can place true-to-scale virtual dinosaurs in their classrooms and enhance their learning through AR data overlays that appear while they walk around the creatures. AR gaming experiences let you play virtual dominos on your kitchen table, raise a digital pet in your bedroom and fight back swarms of aliens invading your house.
With Tango technology, the PHAB2 Pro can even begin to change the way people think about mapping indoor spaces to create new experiences like future augmented reality museum tours, home improvement, interior decoration and more. With a nascent technology like Tango, the PHAB2 Pro offers unprecedented smartphone experiences that will continually learn and improve according to evolving user needs.
“Lenovo has always been at the forefront of innovation bringing differentiated products to consumers. With the introduction of PHAB2 Pro, a first-of-its-kind device in its category, Lenovo aims to revolutionise the way smartphones are used. Our approach to innovation is to ensure we’re constantly evolving and understanding how technology can be infused in everyday lives of consumers. We believe that the PHAB2 Pro is truly a game-changer that will seamlessly integrate into varied lifestyles,” said Bhaskar Choudhuri, Director – Marketing, Lenovo India.
Three core technologies bring Tango experiences to life: motion tracking, depth perception and area learning. Through motion tracking, the PHAB2 Pro’s “eye” sees its own location in 3D. Area learning tells the smartphone its location. Depth perception lets the device analyze the shape of the world around it by detecting surfaces and obstacles. And now for the first time ever, your smartphone can visualize and understand its surrounding objects and environment via sensors that capture more than 250,000 measurements a second.
Lenovo PHAB2 Pro boasts a 6.4 inch QHD display with 2560 x 1440 resolution and runs on Android Marshmallow 6.0 OS. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor and comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage expandable up to 128GB. The processor also quickly processes and time stamps all the rich sensor data simultaneously received from multiple camera sensors, gyro and accelerometer, resulting in a fast, smooth augmented reality experience, where 3D AR graphic overlays track more naturally to the physical surroundings.
The PHAB2 Pro features Dolby Audio Capture 5.1 with Dolby Atmos playback. It sports a 16 megapixels rear camera with PDAF Fast-Focus, Depth Sensor for Tango, Motion Tracking Sensor for Tango. It has an 8 megapixels front camera with Fixed-Focus F2.2 Aperture, 1.4 μm Big Pixel. It comes with dual-SIM slot, where in the second slot can be used for memory card. The device is power backed by a 4050 mAh battery with fast charge technology. It is rated to deliver over 13 days of standby time and up to 18 hours of talk time. It supports 4G and VoLTE connectivity. |
