Lenovo Tapping Google's Project Tango for First Smartphone
- 8 years ago
Computer tech company Lenovo is dancing its way into the smartphone market - with Google.
Lenovo took the lid off plans for its first consumer mobile device at CES 2016 in Las Vegas this week.
The company is developing the device with Project Tango in collaboration with Google.
The company plans to roll out the smartphone this summer.
"To break new ground in today's hypercompetitive smartphone and tablet industries, we must take innovation risks - it's the only way to truly change the way people use mobile technology," said Chen Xudong, senior vice president and president of the Mobile Business Group at Lenovo, in a statement.
Johnny Lee, Project Tango lead at Google, put it this way: "The smartphone becomes a magic window into the physical world by enabling it to perceive space and motion that goes beyond the boundaries of a touch screen."
Devices featuring Project Tango can also remember and recognize locations users have visited before, whether public settings or places in the their own homes.
