Gloven RamosAsus is now working on a Google Tango smartphone. The device is called Asus Zenfone AR and it will be launched at CES 2017 in January.
Jerry Shen, the Asus CEO, announced this news about their development of Asus Zenfone AR Google Tango handset. He says the the handset is another product which will be following the footsteps of Lenovo's handset Phab 2 Pro.
Before the Asus Zenfone AR, Lenovo's Phab 2 Pro is the first ever, and currently, the only smartphone that supports Google Tango. The Phab 2 Pro was announced in June and released in November 2016.
