Your Smartphone
Can't Do This #Helpful Post
hey
guys Zhou stood and this is the
brand-new
Lenovo fab 2 pro in all its
read
bubble wrap glory
so
when Lenovo reached out and want a
sponsor
video on their brand new fab 2
Pro
they sold me with one word tango and
no
not my amazing dance skills this is
the
first google tango enabled phone and
it's
full of confetti we more color on
on
the table okay so let's get one to
ten
how much do I need to move the
confetti
off the table right now really
all
right
confetti
stays executive decision from
Ken
so this is the Lenovo fab 2 Pro this
is
a very tall box so project tango is
something
that Google has been working
on
for a little while now and this is
the
first phone that's actually shipping
with
it enabled and what this
essentially
allows you to do is get a
much
more realistic augmented reality
experience
which might not sound
exciting
until you see what this thing
can
actually do that is um
that's
a large foam so this guy is
rocking
a six point four inch qHD
display
when you consider that this
screen
is essentially your portal into
the
augmented world as a goofy as that
sounds
having a larger display actually
does
make sense so to put in perspective
just
how big the fab 2 Pro is I have a
Google
pixel and as you can see this is
a
big phone so might not be the best
choice
for your skinny jeans but it's
packing
some serious power
so
the fab 2 is rocking a custom
Snapdragon
650 2 processor that's
specifically
made for google tango with
that
six point four inch 1440p display
as
well as four gigabytes of memory 64
gigs
of storage and it's running the
latest
build of Android marshmallow what
I'm
really curious about are the cameras
so
on the top there's a fairly standard
looking
smartphone camera with a couple
sensors
below that however there is an
absolutely
enormous camera in the middle
and
I'm really curious what that
actually
does I'm sure it uses some kind
of
fusion of all these sensors and
cameras
to build the AR experience but
that
is probably the biggest smartphone
camera
I've ever seen well it's
definitely
on the beefier side the fab 2
Pro
is a nice piece of hardware so it's
all
actual
metal you get that nice big
display
and there's some nice little
touches
like they're exposed screws on
the
bottom it's on the bigger side
however
when you consider just how much
tech
is packed in here it's sort of a
different
style of smartphone discover
tango
an introduction to the tango
experience
walk to explore allow for a
clear
space around you drink okay so I
guess
it's using those sensors to
actually
kind of build a depth map
around
where the room is up hello
there's
a little just a plant growing
underneath
the table so once you get
into
the interface you can use this like
any
other Android phone however what's
cool
or a lot of the specific tango apps
that
are made for this so the first app
is
actually something is pretty
practical
this is way fair measure so
the
idea is say you're gonna go buy some
furniture
you can actually put the
furniture
in your space and see how it
looks
that is actually really cool you
can
see the exact dimensions around it
so
say that is going to buy this chair I
would
know that maybe I have some
furniture
around it or to the side of it
and
I know that's actually going to fit
so
a little bit more room to work with
we
can try some of the other demos such
as
hollow so I now see Ken but I can add
a
hologram so let's do the hollow Fun
Pack
I want The Wrestler dude oh this is
something
that most phones can't do just
because
well it's easy enough to add a
little
bit of an AR element to a game
such
as Pokemon go to be able to
actually
get full tracking so you can
walk
around in full 3d space you can get
close
you can step away and it doesn't
lose
track of where he is right so he's
standing
on that exact spot no matter
where
I stand all right this guy's it's
got
the moves what's cool about this is
that
while it seems like a really simple
sort
of thing it's surprisingly good
right
so it's almost tricking my brain
at
the point where I look at this on
screen
I'm like oh the guys standing
there
that move the phone and he's
obviously
not there like it's a simple
thing
but enough to really kind of trick
you
it's it's it's better than it should
be
honestly next we have Domino world so
this
is another case where the tracking
is
solid on this table like the shadows
are
here I can get nice and close
there
goes oh all my hard work got good
do
you see that I like reach my hand out
to
catch the Domino it's weird at how
good
it is it tricking you into thinking
it's
real like it was just an instinct I
wanted
to reach out and catch the Domino
because
I saw it was about to fall on
the
floor for
essentially
replaces your reality right
you're
entirely in that world it's all
digital
whereas
AR allows you to actually walk
around
in the real world and add digital
elements
to it it sounds like it's a
weird
distinction but it is a huge
difference
so is this for everybody no
but
when you consider that this is
something
that you can actually go by
today
it is a really cool piece of tech
and
the cool thing is you're really not
losing
anything you're getting a
rock-solid
Android smartphone to begin
with
and all the extra tango features
are
just icing on the cake especially
when
you give it another six months to a
year
from some of these apps and games
to
get even better this is going to be a
killer
package if you guys want to know
more
about the phatu pro the links will
be
in the description I'm curious what
do
you think about this in google tango
let
me know in the comments below and I
will
catch you on the next one
