Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Tango a multitasking machine

Lenovo’s first tango can measure the space in between object at home or office. This would be extremely useful when it is important to know if a piece of furniture would fit in. With this device, people will never have to worry about self-measuring. That’s a time saver.

By using its 3D mapping and sensors, this smartphone will be useful for the navigating user inside buildings and for helping them to get from one place to another. Thanks to its area learning capabilities, Lenovo’s Tango can give guided directions, displayed on the screen in an augmented reality view, as well as, seeing your path the whole way as you move towards your destination

The tech augmented reality is another great reason why Tango is one of the futuristic smartphones ever launched this year. Gamers will enjoy this feature because they will be able to come alive as the interface is overplayed on top of the real world and displayed on a screen, meaning they will interact with things from both realities, from the reality and from the virtual one that created by the game developers.

Finally, the reality interface to explore a virtual world will give users the chance to create their virtual reality without leaving their locations. This could also be attractive to kids when they are learning about historic places.
