Lenovo has announced its the first smartphone based on Google’s Project Tango at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2016.

Tapping Google’s 3-year-old Project Tango, the new Phab2 Pro phone of Lenovo will use software and sensors to track motions and map building interiors, including the location of doors and windows. Tango-enabled devices like the Phab2 Pro are able to sense physical motion and space, track depth, and visualize and understand surrounding objects.

The Pro uses a fish-eye camera with a wide viewing angle in conjunction with the regular camera sensor to understand motion and identify where the Pro is within a 3D space. This kind of positional tracking allows the users to apply augmented reality (AR) for a wide range of purposes, ranging from interior design to games to museum tours.

Other AR apps included a shooter that used elements of the room to create a level where you could fire at approaching enemies, as well as an interior designing app that allowed you to place furniture around the room to see how it would look. The phone was able to recall where an object had been placed even if it is turned away.

The device will run under Android Marshmallow and powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor, along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, plus a microSD slot for adding more storage. It measures 7.1 by 3.5 by 0.42 inches (HWD) and weighs 9.1 ounces.

Phab2 Pro will feature 6.4-inch display with 2560 × 1440 screen resolution. The device will sport 16MP fast-focusing depth-sensing primary camera with a motion-tracking sensor and an 8MP selfie camera. The speaker will have a Dolby audio, an impressive 4050 mAh battery, and two SIM card slots.

The Pro will come unlocked, supporting GSM (850/1800/1900MHz), UMTS (850/1700/1900/2100MHz), and LTE bands (2/4/5/7/12/17/20/30). It will work on mobile carriers such as T-Mobile and AT&T. With support for band 12 and band 17, T-Mobile and AT&T customers will be able to take advantage of better range and building penetration.

The Chinese tech company said Phab2 Pro is officially the world's first Project Tango smartphone. It is also the first Lenovo-branded phone to be sold in the United States. The Phab2 Pro will cost $500 when it hits shelves in September.
