Huge and awkward
Camera isn't great
Tango is half baked
Lenovo's notifications are awful
Middling battery life
Middling performance
No dust or water resistance

Design The Phab2 Pro is gigantic and heavy. It's not comfortable to hold
And it won't even fit in my pockets. It's like a little tablet that makes phone calls
Giant screen (for others)
Very heavy
Not the fastest SoC for the price
Poor performance in some apps
Especially heavy Tango apps (ironically)
Average camera at best
No 4K recording
Average battery life
Below average screen quality
No NFC

Mediocre battery

Huge
Most Tango apps feel unpolished and lack compelling functionality
Subpar camera performance
Project Tango is still in its infancy and this first consumer device is going to have some bugs and issues. also no USB Type-C
Unfortunately
The Phab 2 Pro is a bulky
Heavy
Mediocre handset with disappointing hardware
An old version of Android and no NFC
Will be much too big for many people
Bulky
And slippery design makes drops more likely
Middle-of-the-road hardware means shorter lifespan
Abstract: Google spent more than two years taking its “Tango” technology from project to full-blown product. Thanks to Google and Lenovo, we now get a glimpse into augmented reality with the first consumer-ready Tango device – the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro.The Phab 2 Pro i...
Abstract: Google made an official announcement of its virtual reality platform, Daydream. Thanks to that Google's Project Tango has quite become an echo about to fade. What's more exciting? Something came up to the surface – the Lenovo Phab2 Pro.Lenovo seemingly fo...

Lenovo's Phab 2 Pro is really one incredible phone, but it doesn't achieve this landmark by way of the average smartphone. This gargantuan, heavy beast eclipses practically all other phones on the market in sheer size and weight, something that's become a...
First widely available Tango phone, Reasonably priced for bleeding-edge tech, Excellent battery life if you don't use Tango, Reassuring build quality, Fingerprint sensor works well
Tango is still a work in progress, Huge size could be a deal-breaker, Cameras are pretty lousy, Lenovo's software is rough around the edges
Google's world-sensing Tango technology is finally here, crammed inside Lenovo's Phab 2 new Pro. Alas, the software and the hardware here fall short. The phone itself is well-built and packs an enormous battery, but an oversized body and a pair of lac...
At $499, I'm really not sure if this device is meant to go head-to-head with flagships or premium mid-tier devices. The truth is that it can't really do either.Modern flagships tend to be good at just about everything. They have awesome cameras, beautiful...

Lenovo Phab 2 Pro The Lenovo Phab 2 Pro is $500, which is appropriate given flagships hover north of $700. It's also different from the pack, with its large size and Tango camera. That makes is a niche device, something “geeky” for early adopters. Get...

All of this begs the question: is the Phab 2 Pro worth it? Considering the hardware the phone offers and the current state of Tango, I'd only say it is if you're the kind of person who wants to be right there at the starting line as a new technology comes...

First generation consumer devices are always a risk and Phab 2 Pro is far from being a perfect device, but it has potential. There are certainly some software bugs with Project Tango and some of the Tango apps. Some Android apps, like Google+, just won't...

Middling battery life, Middling performance, No dust or water resistance, May be too big for some
No one would argue that all smartphones on the market could benefit from better battery life. It's just the nature of the beast. However, there's always a trade-off between performance, size and power consumption. To discern how the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro comp...
