So, without wasting any time let's find out why the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro is a big deal and how it could disrupt the mid-range smartphone market.

Turn your home into a gaming arena
The Google's Project Tango allows you to turn your own home into a virtual, fanciful environment thereby creating an entirely different world to give a richer and deeper experience.
What about its internals?
As far as the specifications are concerned, the smartphone features a gigantic 6.4-inch QHD display (1440x2560). At the heart of the device is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 chipset which both Qualcomm and Lenovo claim to be tailor-made for the Tango. It packs 4GB of RAM coupled with 64GB of internal storage space which should be sufficient for a normal user. The device is backed by a 4,050mAh battery. The imaging department is taken care of by a 16MP camera at the back and an 8MP selfie shooter.
Aimed for a layman?
Ever since the inception of Project Tango, Google has been dreaming about commercialising it. So yes, a normal user can get hold of the device powered by Project Tango very soon perhaps as early as November 1 if you're a US resident. Indian consumers will have to wait for a while, though.
How much will it be priced at?
The smartphone is expected to be priced at USD 499 (approximately Rs. 33,360) which not to mention is a decent price considering the kind of innovative features it brings to the table.
