Augmented reality experiences drive lot of excitements and innovations in our digital age. A close collaboration between Lenovo, Google and Qualcomm Technologies headed for example to Lenovo PHAB2, a Tango-enabled smartphone to enable augmented reality experiences.

A set of sensors and software from Google makes a host of cutting-edge smartphone augmented reality (AR) experiences possible. 

With Tango technology the PHAB2 Pro can change the way people think about mapping indoor spaces to create new experiences like future augmented reality museum tours via the GuidiGO app. 

Tango enables Lenovo devices to sense physical motion and space and, as a result, has the power to change how we interact with our surroundings. 

The PHAB2 offers an affordable AR smartphone with many of the attractive features found in higher-end models. Among key highlights we have: a 6.4-inch HD display, a fast-focusing 13MP camera and 32GB onboard storage expandable via a microSD slot.

In the US, the PHAB2 Pro will be sold at select Lowe’s stores nationwide and online by the end of the year. Pricing and availability may vary from country to country.
