The Tango Revolution: Lenovo's Latest Flagship Devices

Hey guys, John B here with Android Authority, and we're excited to introduce you to Lenovo's brand new Fab 2 line of smartphones. This is a significant departure for Lenovo, as they've primarily targeted international markets in the past. However, this latest lineup marks a bold move into uncharted territory, and we can't wait to explore what these devices have in store.

The Lenovo Fab 2 Lineup: A Fundamental Design Language Shared Among All

The Lenovo Fab 2 line consists of three new smartphones: The Fab 2, the Fab 2 Plus, and the Tango Ready Fab 2 Pro. While they share a fundamental design language, each device has its unique features and specifications. The main difference between these phones is the material used for their bodies, as well as their specs.

The Lenovo Fab 2: A Plastic Body with 720p IPS Screen

Starting with the Lenovo Fab 2, we have a plastic body, accompanied by a 720p IPS screen and a Mediatech 8735 processor. The 6.4-inch screen size makes it an ample device for most users.

The Lenovo Fab 2 Plus: Aluminum Alloy Body with Fingerprint Sensor and Dual Rear Cameras

Next up is the Lenovo Fab 2 Plus, which swaps the plastic body for an aluminum alloy one. Additionally, this device features a fingerprint sensor, dual rear cameras, a 1080p screen, and a slightly better Mediatech 8783 processor compared to its predecessor.

The Lenovo Tango Ready Fab 2 Pro: A Unibody Metal Design with Qui HD Screen

Lastly, we have the Lenovo Tango Ready Fab 2 Pro, which boasts a unibody metal design. The device is accompanied by a Qui HD screen and a fingerprint sensor. Moreover, it features a Snapdragon 820 chip, making it a temporary flagship device.

The Tango Ready Feature: Three Major Components Validate its Potential

One of the most exciting aspects of the Lenovo Fab 2 Pro is its Tango ready feature. This technology has been developed in collaboration with Google's Project Tango initiative, which aims to give users more freedom and flexibility when it comes to augmented reality (AR). The three major components that validate this device's potential are:

* A fisheye camera lens for getting a wide view of the space

* An RGB camera that helps sense what's around the room

* An IR emitter that sends an IR grid to measure time of flight, allowing users to track objects and navigate their environment

The Tango Experiences: Exploring New Frontiers in Augmented Reality

We had the opportunity to check out a few cool Tango experiences with the Lenovo Fab 2 Pro. One such experience is the upcoming Lowe's app that provides conceptual ideas of what your future kitchen might look like by simply visualizing appliances right where you intend on putting them. Another demo showcased how this device can map out a room and allow users to shoot down aerial drones, all while navigating their space.

A New Direction for Augmented Reality: More Meaningful Experiences Ahead

The Lenovo Fab 2 Pro establishes a new direction for augmented reality, as more developers get on board to create more meaningful experiences. We can only imagine what the future holds for this technology and how it will change our daily lives.

Price Points: Ample Devices at Affordable Prices

All three devices in the Lenovo Fab 2 lineup are priced reasonably, with the Fab 2 starting at $200. The Fab 2 Plus goes up to $2.99, thanks to its metal body, fingerprint sensor, and slightly improved specs compared to its predecessor. Meanwhile, the Fab 2 Pro is priced at $499, which may seem steep considering it has similar specs to a temporary flagship device.

Availability: Global Rollout Expected by September

According to our sources, all three devices in the Lenovo Fab 2 lineup are expected to be available globally by September this year. However, we might see these phones hit the market earlier than that, depending on regional rollouts and availability.

Fab 2 line that consists of these three new smartphones that are coming here to the US that's pretty important for them just because for the longest of time there they've only targeted markets abroad so yeah it's largely Uncharted territory for them we have three smartphones in this new line the Lenovo Fab 2 The Fab 2 plus and finally the Tango ready Fab 2 Pro they pretty much share the same fundamental design language following that best better good strategy they're big phones with 6.4 in size screens now the main difference between them are the materials used for their bodies and their specs now being the ENT level the bunch the Fab 2 has a plastic body a 720p IPS screen and a mediatech 8735 processor next up the Fab 2 plus swaps the plastic body for an aluminum alloy one while also adding a fingerprint sensor dual rear cameras a 1080p screen and a slightly better mediatech 8783 CHP and finally you have the Fab 2 Pro which boasts a unibody metal design a Qui HD screen the fingerprint sensor and a Snapdragon 820 chip we wouldn't say they're original looking since they look like many of the other metal phones we've seen release this year already but it's a nice distinction from its Motorola stuff the Fab 2 Pro is by far the most intriguing of the trio since it has the hardware that makes it Tango ready technically there are three major components that validate it being Tango ready so that's a fisheye camera lens to get a wide view of the space there's an RGB camera that helps in sensing what's around the room and then there's also an IR emitter that sends an IR grid to measure the time of flight or in layman's terms it just helps to measure distance while augmented reality is nothing new Google's work with Project Tango goes the extra step by giving freedom to augmented reality so you're no longer restricted to just a static experience now we checked out a cool few Tango experiences with the Fab 2 Pro like an upcoming Lowe's app that provides conceptual ideas of what your future kitchen might look like by just simply visualizing appliances right where you intend on putting them and then there's another demo that was the first person shooter which Maps out a room with its sensors and allows us to move around the room to shoot down these aerial drones now it's pretty neat because it makes us think about the possibility of one day seeing maybe a Tango ready phone strapped into a headset like Google cardboard but rather than having a stationary experience you're going to be able to move around in the space overall the Tango experiences here with the Fab 2 Pro um establishes a new direction for augmented reality now as more developers get on board but we can only imagine things getting better and you'll have more meaningful experiences as well price-wise they all have their value at $200 you're getting a mighty big phone that should be ample for most users with the Fab 2 now going up from that you have $2.99 for the Fab 2 plus which benefits from having a metal body the fingerprint sensor and slightly beefed up specs and lastly there's the $499 Fab 2 Pro which is still not too shabby given that it has the same specs as any temporary Flagship right now but it's the sole device on the market that brilliantly showcases what Tango is all about all three should be available globally by September but they might come here to the US a lot earlier and those are all the brand new phones coming to Lenovo so if you guys want to learn more about any of them you could check out our website androidauthority.com
