Lenovo Phab 2 Pro is the first smartphone infused with Tango project, but not the unique one anymore. Looks like Qualcomm accidentally reveal some key details about the Asus Zenfone AR, which is set for CES 2017 unveiling.  

The world first Qualcomm S821 powered

There was an announcement on a blog post, which was set to publish date of 4 January. While the Qualcomm announcement did not provide too much in the way of details on the ZenFone AR, it did provide two clear points worth noting. Specifically, the post revealed that Asus will announce Zenfone AR at CES 2017. Furthermore, it will be the first Tango-enabled smartphone to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor.

This is not the first time that the Tango-compatibility had been confirmed for the ASUS ZenFone AR, as the ASUS CEO did confirm as much back in November of 2016. However, it has now been confirmed that this will be a smartphone that is also compatible with Google’s VR platform, Daydream. It is also the first mobile device in the world which is Tango-enable and Google’s VR platform, Daydream. “With Zenfone AR and the Daydream View headset and controller, you’ll be able to explore new worlds with apps like Google Street View and Fantastic Beasts, dive into your personal VR cinema with YouTube, Netflix, Hulu and HBO, and get your game on with Gunjack 2, LEGO BrickHeadz, Need for Speed and dozens other titles,” the blog post says.

The famous leaker Evan Blass @evleak has just posted on his Twitter about the render for the upcoming Zenfone AR. It provides a clear look at both the front and the back of the device.
