Before the year is out, Lenovo Malaysia wants to end the year with a bang. They will be introducing two new products – the Yoga Book and the PHAB2 Pro with Google’s Tango technology.
Yoga Book
The Yoga Book is a futuristic looking 2-in-1 convertible tablet which is part laptop and part sketchpad. On one end, it gets a 10.1″ Full HD IPS display while the other half comes with a touch-sensitive surface that’s powered by Wacom. It can be a keyboard with its virtual keys or you can have the whole surface as a writing pad. Accompanying the Yoga Book is a stylus that has 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity.
On the inside, it runs on an Intel Atom x5-Z8550 processor with 4GB of RAM and it has 64GB storage. The Yoga Book comes with two variants – Windows 10 and Android 6.0. Keeping the lights on is an 8,500mAh battery that is rated to last 15 hours.
Lenovo PHAB2 Pro
The next device is the Lenovo PHAB2 Pro smartphone that focuses on augmented reality. It is the first smartphone to use Google Tango technology. It has 3 cameras at the rear and along with its motion sensors, the PHAB2 Pro can map your surroundings in real time. With Tango, it opens up new possibilities like trying out furniture arrangements virtually based on your room dimensions or play augmented reality apps with better accuracy based on your surroundings.
In terms of hardware, the PHAB2 Pro is quite a huge phablet with a 6.4″ Quad HD display. It runs on a Qualcomm Octa-Core Snapdragon 652 processor with 4GB of RAM and it has 64GB of storage.
