LenovoLenovo on Thursday launched the Phab2 Pro, a 6.4-inch smartphone that's the first commercial device to integrate Google's Project Tango 3D mapping technology.

It's been known for some time that Lenovo was partnering with Google on a Tango-enabled consumer device: The company showcased the tech at CES this past January; it had previously given the device a summer 2016 launch frame; and details on the phone had leaked prior to today's Lenovo Tech World event in San Francisco.
