Chinese company Lenovo has grown in less than 30 years from a small start-up that created an adapter for printing characters on the IBM PC to a global leader in the manufacture of PCs, the second largest manufacturer of tablets and the third manufacturer of smartphones.

Lenovo Moto Z

The main latest news from Lenovo is the flagship Moto Z with modules. LG G5 modules are more compact, but modules for Moto Z closer to real life.  In addition, when you connect modules the smartphone becomes a little thicker, but not longer, as in the case of LG G5.

Lenovo PHAB2 Pro

Lenovo also launched the world’s first smartphone PHAB2 Pro with support for technology Project Tango.

Satellite navigation helps us not get lost in the street, but does not work in the rooms, and most indoor-positioning technology requires a variety of equipment tags and beacons that are difficult and expensive. Huge prospects are opened for Project Tango and games with augmented reality. In addition, the platform can be used for interior design, produce measurement of premises, etc.

Lenovo PHAB2 Pro is equipped with a camera with a fisheye-lens (tracks the movement), ToF-camera and infrared sensors. ToF-camera (Time of flight) operates on the principle of radar: it illuminates the scene and captures the time elapsed until the moment when the reflected light falls back into the camera.

Besides smartphones Lenovo demonstrated the concept of “smart” sneakers called Lenovo Smart Shoes. The gadget has the support of cloud services, as well as monitoring functions and analysis of data on the physical performance of the owner.

Lenovo does not wait a long with the presentation of its first consumer product of Project Tango and announced its prototype in Las Vegas exhibition CES 2016. Smartphone has tablet phone display with a diagonal of 6.5 inches. It is equipped with 4-MP rear camera with angles of 180 degrees. The front camera with angles of 120 degrees has third camera with a low resolution of 180×320 pixels, which is necessary to determine a depth.

The commercial version of tablet phone almost certainly will have this set of cameras. But we expect that smartphone will receive a complete redesign, which will use it in a more familiar phablet portrait rather than landscape orientation.

During the presentation, the director of Project Tango demonstrated some possibilities of smartphone. First, he used the toolkit developers to render the scene, where the presentation took place.  Moreover, he placed virtual refrigerator in the corner of scene. All this action looks fantastic.

As for the tablet phone Lenovo, we expect that it will be released on the market next summer, and its price will be less than $500.

In addition, Google and Lenovo have launched an initiative that aims to support the development of interesting games and applications related to technology 3D-scanning of surrounding space.

Developers can submit applications until February 15, then Google will select the best ideas and provide them with funding and support to bring them to augmented reality. New applications for augmented reality will be available in the new smartphone.

Note that Intel has already started taking orders for similar smartphone/developer kit with 3D-camera RealSense, which also supports the technology Project Tango. Intel smartphone can be ordered for $400.

However, the main feature of the device is the presence of a plurality of sensors that can track the movement of objects around it. Project Tango can be used by software developers to create software that combines virtual and real objects.

Tablet Project Tango, due to its characteristics and no small price, focuses mainly on developers. In addition, this trend still indicates the absence of any warranty on the device. However, Project Tango is a great demonstration of what devices we can see in the coming years by Google or other well-known manufacturers.
