The other two Lenovo phones dont have Tango built in.
The device, which has a 6.4-inch screen, pushes smartphone functionality to new heights.
To make such features available, the phone features three back cameras: a 16-megapixel RGB camera, a depth-sensing camera, and a motion-racking camera.
Tango technology allows the viewer to see 3-D objects in a virtual world, “transforming the world into a fully virtual space”, as seen in the video above where a stage becomes a magical garden with virtual animals running around. “All you have to do is look through the Phab 2 Pro, and you’ll see objects and information overlaid onto the real world”.
The Lenovo Phab 2 Pro smartphone based on Project Tango technology was announced at the Lenovo Tech Word 2016 event in San Francisco on Thursday.
Moreover, with Tango, the Lenovo Phab 2 is activated to be more engaging on apps such as gaming VR apps, educational apps, and others more.
Lenovo, which owns and operates smartphone maker Motorola, also announced two other smartphones during the event, the PHAB2 Plus, which has dual 13 megapixel rear-facing cameras, and the PHAB2 – created to be an entry-level device that will cost less than 200 United States dollars (£138), but comes with a large 6.4-inch screen. The large 6.4-inch screen phones should hit the United States market around August or September in the USA and the rest of the world a little later.
“Lenovo needed a highly robust and dependable platform for Tango and we are extremely pleased they chose the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor for its advanced technology and comprehensive design”, said Alex Katouzian, senior vice president, product management, Qualcomm Technologies. With Wayfair’s app, for instance, you could use the Phab2 Pro to preview new furniture for your living room. The Lenovo PHAB2 will be the novice device, coming in at $199 and sporting a MediaTek Quad-Core MT 8735 processor, paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage space that is expandable up to 128GB.
With sensors to monitor surrounding areas, a user can use them to give a sense of how or what the surroundings are, especially in new surroundings, with directions being displayed on the screen. The battery is a meaty 4050 Mah.

The Phab 2 Pro itself sounds like a pretty nice high-end phone.
