Lenovo announced the Tango-Phone 2 Pro, the first commercial system with Google Tango, on their own event "TechWorld" for a release "this summer". Now it seems like Lenovo can´t hold that promised release-windows, as their website now shows a later release date. So far, we can only speculate, Lenovo hasn´t released an official reaction to the rumors yet.
The Phab 2 Pro is an important product for Lenovo, it is supposed to help to get the declining smartphone-business of the Chinese giant back on its feet. Ultimately, it is the first smartphone/phablet with Google Tango, the AR system, which allows your phones camera to "see the 3rd dimension". A few weeks back on IFA 2016 in Berlin, the phone was featured prominently on Lenovos booth.
Now it seems like the release of the device is delayed. When Lenovo announced the Phab 2 Pro on their "TechWorld" event in June, they promised a release "this summer". Recently however, the product page was quietly updated, it now says "releases in Fall".
This change seems logical, after all summer is ending next week. To release the phone in time would be ambitious now. The exact date of the release is still not clear, some Lenovo product sites in Europe still state the old summer release-date.

I was an ardent reader of Notebookcheck’s laptop reviews even back in school. After writing reviews as a hobby, I then joined Notebookcheck in 2016 and have worked on device reviews and news articles ever since then. My personal interest lies more with laptops than smartphones, with business laptops being the most interesting category for me. Technology should make our lives and work easier and good laptops are an essential tool for that to happen. This is why laptop reviews are not just my work but are also my passion.
