Following a successful commercial debut of the Pixel smartphone series, Google is finally ready to launch its first (Project) Tango device, the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro. The device will launch in the United States this week on November 1st and will be available for purchase unlocked at a price of $499.

The Lenovo Phab 2 Pro was shown on stage at the 2016 edition of MWC in Barcelona back in March. At the time, Lenovo said that the Phab 2 Pro will launch in the summer, but as that didn't come to pass, the device was recently confirmed to be delayed until at some point in November. That point has been now set for the first of the month.

Tango, formerly Project Tango, is a 3D positioning platform that can create a map of your surroundings. It represents Google's best bet in the emerging augmented reality (AR) niche and one of the most promising AR platforms overall. From what we can tell, the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro will land with demo software such as an app that allows users to virtually overlay works of art in their living room and one that creates 3D alien planet experiences and renders them on top of the physical world. 




In terms of specifications, Lenovo Phab 2 Pro sports a 6.4-inch QHD IPS display. The smartphone is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 SoC, coupled with 4GB of RAM. It houses a 4050mAh battery.

The Phab 2 Pro houses a total of four cameras in it. There is an 8-megapixel camera at front, a 16-megapixel rear RGB camera, a depth-sensing infrared camera with an imager and an emitter, as well as a motion tracking camera. The Phab 2 Pro can record videos in 360-degree and 4K as well. The phone comes with a fingerprint scanner at its back.

At this point, it remains to be seen if Tango will become a primary destination for developers looking to create AR content. Despite Tango's enormous potential, Google has yet to lock in its success in the AR space.
