A few days ago, we told you to expect Lenovo and Google to make an announcement on January 7th related to a new Project Tango device. This is the project that uses a combination of cameras and sensors placed on mobile devices to produce 3D mapping. While smartphone and tablet developer kits have both been available, neither were designed for consumers.
The phablet will feature a screen smaller than 6.5-inches. The cameras on board Project Tango prototypes included a 4MP rear camera, a 180 degree fish-eye lens, a front-facing camera with a 120 degree field of vision, and a depth camera shooting in 180 x 320.
