Mobile phones usually stay within display size ranges that make them pocketable in most cases. However, multimedia consumption demands for a bigger screen and better sound. Tablets have always been the go to device of choice for multimedia usage, but it seems phone and tablet hybrids called "Phablets" have already filled the nice for communication and multimedia all in a somehow pocketable size. Lenovo seeks to fulfill that need with its Lenovo Phab2 Plus.
GSMArena points out that the Lenovo Phab2 Plus does not ship with Google Tango. Its dual-camera configuration reportedly captures a shallow depth of field. The device will also cost lesser than its Phab 2 Pro model.
