Lenovo Phab2 and Phab2 Plus
Lenovo's Tech World in San Fransisco where the newly owned Motorola has announced a
two new smartphone lineups for both the Moto and Lenovo brands. The Lenovo
Phab2 Pro is the first consumer phone to incorporate Tango, Google’s camera
system that is able to detect physical objects in 3D.
The other two Lenovo phones don’t have
Tango built in. For the price, they are compelling devices that give other
budget phones a run for their money. Lenovo will release these devices in the
US with desire to reach for a better presence in the US mobile market.
Like the Lenovo Phab2 Pro, both the
Phab2 and Phab2 Plus have 6.4 inch screens. The Phab2 has a 720p IPS screen,
quad-core MediaTek 8735 CPU paired with 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of internal
storage expandable via microSD card slot, and 13 MP camera.
The Phab2 Plus is the middle tier of the
lineup. Unlike the Phab2, the Plus version has a 1080p IPS screen of the same
6.4 inches. The CPU gets a bump up to a quad-core MediaTek 8783 and the same
3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage also expandable via microSD.
The Phab2 Plus gets a significant
upgrade in the camera department when compared to the Phab2. The Plus model
gets a dual camera setup for changing backgrounds, and refocusing after taking
images, complete with a laser autofocus sensor, and rear mounted fingerprint
scanner.
The Phab2 and Phab2 Plus are going to be
released this summer and will be aggressively priced at US$ 199 and US$ 299. They’ll be available worldwide by September with the US likely to
get dibs before then.
