Lenovo to introduce the first consumer focused Project Tango phablet this summer

Lenovo has been doing some great things recently with the devices and at CES, they are announcing a partnership between Google to build a Project Tango phone that measures in at 6.5" in terms of display size and will become the first consumer ready Project Tango device. Google's Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) group first introduced Project Tango at Google I/O nearly two years ago and since then, there has been a lot of hardware designed for developers but this Lenovo phablet will be the first device that average smartphone users can buy. Provided that Lenovo/Google doesn't make this device a US exclusive smartphone.

This Lenovo phablet will be running Android (possible Android N) and the hardware inside the first consumer Project Tango phone will also include chips from Intel, Nvidia and Qualcomm as they are the partners of Google's 3D mapping technology. But what average users will end up getting out of this sub-$500 phone is yet to be known.

Google says they will be funding selected developers to complete their Project Tango specific application and these apps will be preloaded onto the Lenovo Project Tango phablet for end users to use. If you think the reports that Apple will be putting two cameras on the next iPhone to be amazing, the Lenovo phablet with Project Tango will come with at least 3 sensor to be able to scan objects in three dimension. We'll most likely see this during Google I/O 2016.

Lenovo's new camera-centric Vibe Shot arrives in Malaysia for RM 1,399

Just as anticipated, Lenovo has just unveiled the Vibe Shot in Malaysia and is available for purchase today. This Lenovo smartphone in particular is not about the Android experience, rather Lenovo is pushing on the camera experience on the new Vibe Shot which comes with a 16MP optically stabilized camera and a triple LED flash array paired with a beefy infra-red AF system.

From the back, the Vibe Shot looks nothing like a smartphone with it's horizontally oriented branding and to suit the disguise of a compact camera, Lenovo has even added a two step camera shutter key to make the experience as true to life as possible.

But beyond the camera goodness, the new Vibe Shot is a pretty solid mid-range smartphone with a 5" FHD IPS display alongside the octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor paired with 3GB of RAM. Other specs includes 32GB of expandable memory, an 8MP front facing camera capable of 1080P video, LTE support, a 3,000mAh battery and all of this hardware is running atop Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Lenovo is beginning the sales of the camera-centric Vibe Shot today for RM 1,399 and it's worth noting that there was a flash sale earlier today through Storekini which includes a free Moto 360 and Selfie Flash alongside the purchase of the Vibe Shot but that offer has since then went out of stock.
