Asus CES 2017 Android Tango

Introduction

Asus is one of few manufacturers which had more serious smartphone announcements at CES 2017.

We got our hands on the Zenfone AR and we are eager to share our first impressions. The most important thing you must know is the device is equipped with Tango, the Augmented Reality platform that adds an information layer on top of the physical surroundings in 3D using a set of cameras on the back. Tango is Google's technology and Asus are only the second manufacturer to make a phone with it - the first one was the Lenovo Phab2 Pro, which we reviewed recently.

Asus takes the technology a step further with support of Daydream, Google's Virtual Reality, which is built into Android Nougat. Yes, the Zenfone AR supports both AR and VR. So this actually makes it the first flagship with such combination of features.
