IFA 2015 | Lenovo shows off Phab and Phab Plus tablets

The Lenovo Phab is already available in China as previously reported, but its presence at this year's IFA may suggest an eventual overseas launch in the future. The Lenovo Phab is a 7-inch tablet with budget specifications including a 720p display, Snapdragon 410 SoC, 1 GB RAM, and 16 GB eMMC. The device is optimized for one-handed use, meaning that Lenovo has pre-installed software to shrink the size of the content so the user's thumb can more easily touch all corners.

The Phab Plus is the smaller 6.8-inch model despite what its name implies. Instead, the "Plus" moniker means more powerful internals including its 1080p resolution, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB eMMC, dual SIM slots, and octa-core Snapdragon 615 SoC. However, the internal battery will be smaller at 3500 mAh and the cameras and chassis remain identical to that of the larger Phab.

The Lenovo Phab and Phab Plus will launch for $180 and $300 USD, respectively, with no confirmed launch in Germany as of this writing. See our hands-on video with the Phab Plus below.
