Google confirms the Project Tango smartphone, Lenovo Phab 2 Pro lands in November

Google has recently taken the wraps off its new flagship Android smartphones, the Pixel and Pixel XL. Both are supposed to hit shelves in the 2-3 weeks, but that depends on the country.

In the meantime, the search giant confirmed that the long-delayed Lenovo Phab 2 Pro, world's first commercial Project Tango smartphone, will be available in November, a few weeks after the Pixel phones are supposed to hit shelves.

The Lenovo Phab 2 Pro was supposed to hit shelves earlier this summer, but for some reason the Chinese company decided to push the release date to September. Last month we reported that the September launch date was replaced with a more vague “fall” deadline, but we now have more info about the Project Tango's upcoming launch.

It appears that during the Pixel launch event, Google's head of VR, Clay Bavor, confirmed that Lenovo's Phab 2 Pro smartphone will be available for purchase beginning November. The phablet will be launched in the United States for $499 and it will sell unlocked. It's likely to be available through Best Buy, Lowe and other authorized retailers.
