The Lenovo Phab 2 Pro turns out to be the fist commercially available smartphone with Google's Tango. Lenovo Phab 2 Pro will enable augmented reality experiences, and relies on a set of sensors and software to map its surroundings.
Project Tango is some new tech by Google to help devices figure out space and motion just like humans do and brings spatial perception to Android devices. Apps which are Tango enabled have already appeared on the Play store, but wont work in your android device! ( Unless you own a Phab 2 Pro)

Phab 2 Pro has a metal unibody design, and is 8.9mm in thickness. It has a 6.4-inch QHD (2,560 x 1,440) display, and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor (Tango edition) with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage space.
Phab 2 Pro has a 16 megapixel rear camera on board with a special depth-sensing unit, along with multiple camera sensors, which power the augmented reality experience.
Phab 2 Pro comes with a fingerprint scanner on the back, a 4,050 mAh battery with 2.4 Turbo charging support. It will come in gold and grey colour options.
It uses a variety of sensors to detect physical motion and space. It lets users interact with their surroundings and can size up the contours of rooms, and thus map building interiors. All of this is crucial to the augmented reality (AR) experience.

For now this idea seems pretty legit but we'll have to wait to know if the Tango on android devices is worth it!
