Lets Talk About: On November 1 Lenovo Phab 2 Will Land In U.S. For Just $200

Finally Lenovo and Google have teamed up to release the first commercial Project Tango smartphone, the Phab 2 Pro. The smartphone was unveiled months ago, but for whatever reason Lenovo was forced to delay its launch numerous times. Earlier this month we reported that the Phab
2 Pro is likely to go on sale in November. It looks like those rumors were accurate, as Lenovo has just listed the phablet on its website. There's a catch, though, as the Chinese company will only sell 

the standard Phab 2, sans the “Pro.”

That's the bad news, but the good news is the smartphone costs only $200 outright. It's also worth mentioning the Lenovo Phab 2 will arrive in the United States on November 1, but customers can go ahead and pre-order one beginning today. It's available in both Champagne Gold and Gunmetal Grey colors.

Obviously, a lower price means lower specs as well. So, instead of the 6.4-inch Quad HD display inside the Pro version, the standard model sports a similar-sized display that supports HD (720p) resolution.

On the inside, the Phab 2 hides a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT8735 processor, coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory (expandable up to 128GB via microSD).

Software-wise, Lenovo's huge phablet comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS right out of the box, along with pre-installed apps like McAfee Security, Netflix, and SwiftKey. In the back, it packs a 13-megapixel camera with PDAF (phase detection auto focus), whereas in the front selfie lovers will find a 5-megapixel wide-angle camera.

One other aspect that shouldn't be overlooked is the rather large 4,050 mAh battery inside, which should provide up to 14 days of standby time or up to 32 hours of talk time.

Audiophiles will be happy to know the Lenovo Phab 2 features Dolby Atmos and Dolby Audio Capture 5.1 technologies, as well as triple array mics with active noise-cancellation
