Lenovo Phab2 Pro - User Reviews

  • No Android update support. Stucked with 6.0.1

  • Back when 6.4" was REALLY big. It's the problem of the bezels.

  • I bought it at discount for AED 1,199. Now it's back to 2000. It is a good phone , but honestly, there are other better phones out there. Memory Management is not that good. I only have 1.7 gb memory left. Eats memory like crazy. Camera is not that good. Takes lot of time to focus, and many times picture not that great. I guess if you can buy it for cheap, than it's worth it. Otherwise look for another mobile. Deleting messages in bulk not possible. You need to delete one by one. Don't know why.

  • Too wight and camera need improvement and lenovo accessories. Not available in marked please don't Make like this device next.

  • It's the Phab 2 Pro. It was a limited sale. I'm not ignorant when it comes to phones. This is the link I used. Next time, do more research.

  • The item u got from Lazada was either Phab 2 or Phab 2 plus and not Phab 2 pro.. phab 2 pro cost around 24k.. :D

  • Got mine @ 9999 at Lazada. Super Sale...

  • Got 2 units @ Lazada for P8749 each. Lodi

  • I got one too for $195. Petmalu!

  • Philippines. The sale is done, I ordered one.

  • What country is it available for $195? From what source? Thanks.

  • my lenovo phab 2 pro don´t have the FM Radio How i can do?

  • Correction: Down to only US$195. Ordering it.

  • It's down to $240 in my country on a limited sale. Should I get it? I primarily use my phone (aside from calls and messages) for gaming.

  • please someone give me solve to my problem..i install program of lock screen to my phone lenovo phab 2 pro when i want to open screen by fingerprint i cant open it because the pattern is appear and ask me to draw to open why?

  • Have the same problem here, I reset it to factory settings and now it is working perfect.

  • Luluhypermarket airport road has it.

  • How do I get this phone here in Doha Qatar

  • Had one of the first Lenovo phablet 3, good looking dreadful phone. Keeps shutting down and is so slow, can't use it at all. Problems started 2 months after receiving it. Do not buy this!

  • A moment of silence for those who bought this phone with hopes that lenovo would definitely update its android version

  • i got the mobile lately few weeks ago . its really great phone , the performance is amazing , battery in general is very great " just few time goes crazy and drained fast and i am trying to fig out what is the reason" , mostly annoying thing is no suitable glass screen protectors and cases , and for me a vr headset , i hope if someone have idea or can suggest for me something let me know , and i wonder any word of lenovo if we will get android 7 or beyond ? , thanks

  • Hey try aliexpress for phone cases :) do you use this phone as your primary phone ? Like do you use it for phone calls?

  • PROS HUGE screen - Seriously. This thing is a monster, and there's a reason why they call it a 'Phablet'. Tango - This is a watershed technology for AR, and I can't wait to see where this goes in the next 5 years, especially now that it's a space race with Apple. 3D scanning - For someone who lives in CAD apps, the 3D scanning apps have been great. My favorite so far is Scandy Pro. It's the only object scanner that actually meshes its scans. Give it a shot.

  • I've had this phone since February and I live it battery is great sound is loud and clear.its my favorite phone ever just was hard to find a case for it

  • Very nice and quality phone

  • I think this phone is overpriced,seriously lenovo?snap 652?

  • Pls. let me know about your experience with this mobile once you have bought it, thanks.

  • what space you are using, i had phab plus before and every micro sd higher than 32 gb didnt support and asked me to format it

  • Front camara is wrost

  • How about micro SD card? Do you have problems installing it? I already tried two micro SD cards and every time it is asking to format the card before it will be recognize but I don't want to loose my files in it.

  • IR remote for what? To mess around with public appliances?

  • try with upgraded new sim . me too have problems with old sim . after registering with new sim no issues in the internet connectivity or VoLTE .

  • Its network problem. Jio has problem with all mobiles

  • I can't stress enough about the IR port, It's essential for many Techie users, it's just very handy to have a remote right in the phone.

  • Yes very bad customer support...

  • I am facing problem to making call n receiving call on jio network

  • lenovo PHAB 2 PRO smartphone just launch in Dubai, it looks very sweet and price is AED 1,949.00 i am going to bay one

  • well said

  • Hi Frd's how is this phone "Build Quality & speed.. whether i should Buy or not this phone..

  • I had same problem initially but then once AT&T put iPhone 7 IEMI on my number I now have LTE

  • Go to your message setting then message center and then put you number Message centre.....or call your operator.....like mine....+0160000000 But this no. For my country malaysia

  • Just bought this phone from B&H store a day ago. PROS: -Large screen -Large battery (although not large enough) CONS: -Very laggy interface -Same issues with keyboards that are present on every Non-Samsung Android phone ( Swift and Google keyboard are acting up badly -Poor battery life (have been using the web browser on and off for about 4hours now and the battery is down by 70%.)

  • Great speeds...80mbps here in Chicago.

  • I buy this phone last week but the problem I can't send my msg .But I received the in other..But I can't reply...Please help how to do this

  • I buy this phone last week but the problem I can't send my msg .But I received the in other..But I can't reply...Please help how to do this

  • Why is it so hard to put inside infrared port and NFC? Why?

  • List 3 devices that have ever come with anything but shit headphones.

  • Have fun with the 3 devices you'll have to choose from, cuz even if apple stays, they'll have to move manufacturing process, cuz technically made in China means Chinese product. So if they continue to sell in America, because of labour costs, it'll be like 2000 for the cheapest apple device.

  • It's being sold to public. That's the definition of "released"

  • Is this phone VR Ready and if yes....comes Lenevo with own VR glasses. It does not fit in this generation of VR glasses....

  • Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Review

  • It is very good phone but the rate is not so good

  • It seems like an interesting device but it wonders me why Lenovo would take months of developing all those AR features inside a tiny space of phone but still include a mid-range chipset whilst also offering 4 rear cameras but not even letting to record videos in higher than 30 FPS, and not really letting to enjoy recorded 5.1 sound as no stereo speakers are provided. This is more like a concept phone so it's improvable. I start to fancy Lenovo for their creative ideas. First this, then Moto Z with its modular properties. We'll what creative they can think of in the future. They're already quite strong in laptop segment so they could attract even more people.

  • Lenovo launches Many Good Mobiles But this mobile is Very Special In specifications.This company Announce the Rate below 16000rs For this mobile It will Run successfully

  • Dearest friend.Lenovo sometimes makes good smartphone.But this one has no NFC,IR,not complete Bluetooth,USB V.3.1 and more important:sidewalks(bezel 30%,....!!!If you don't need the omitted specifications,it is OK for you!!Usually price tags of Lenovo are not pricey,....You may check the after sale maintenance and services of this brand before buying it which is more important,Justice Rights,....

  • Can this device be used as a barge to float garbage from Staten Island for dumping in the middle of the Atlantic? What kind of payload can it handle? 100 metric tons?

  • Can I buy this phon (lenovo phub 2 pro)? It is good phon or bad phon?

  • This phone lacks NFC and USB type C which is unfortunate given the price.

  • I bought a new phone straight from the company Lenovo yesterday received a phone nice very nice and bright screen and very poor headphones I went to the AT & T company spent 4 hours with technician This phone works with AT & T 3g only very slowly This phone does not work with AT & T and 4g so many functions not working I tried to call the Lenovo technical support I spent a lot of time on the phone Technical Support does not know anything about this phone because it is new I decided to return the phone back maybe I got defective phone but 25 Dolar I rented for my purchase now I am waiting with joy when Trump will close the door to America poor Chinese products

  • I love this phone so much but tge price is so high if the drops down 20 -25,000 then I can able to take this phone. Please drop down the price value

  • i think this phone cancelled .will not realese

  • 5 Cameras there, 2 for 3d rear, 2 for 3d front, 1 night vision.

  • how many camarea are there

  • Hu Hu Lenovo

  • haahha

  • so what?

  • Wonderful comment. 1st time I've read such a depthful comment. Yes, very true; We're never contended with what we've; Always running/craving for more without appreciate anyone's efforts.

  • Get LG v10 or LG V20 instead. Both are removeable.

  • Even a copy can surpass its predecessor. And this is it. Anyway Sony Z ultra its just 2 years old expensive piece of garbage now. This one is newer faster and much much more cheaper.

  • Awesome and gruesome especialy for gaming

  • Stop asking for removable battery. If your battery is dead, you cant find the battery easily in the market. And if you gonna use your smartphne for a long period, dont expect the company to manufacture the same type battery. Use your smartphone properly.

  • No bad, but it is far not enoug. It has no infrared port, no barometric sensor and the camera is also not very comprehensive. Also it hasn't water and dust protection. May be the next one!

  • Good, but... non removable battery doesn't cut it. And, is it waterproof? IP68 is common so why are you silent on that? It doesn't have it. At 10.7mm it's also thick as a brick. THIS ain't gonna fly!

  • Complete with last year's CPU

  • Looks like a total beast. Kudos, Lenovo, you've impressed me.

  • Too big for my hand, if only it comes in 5"

  • Absolutely true these brands are producing one of the best smart phones in the world :)

  • 70.9% screen-to-body ratio. Terrible for a large phone

  • When will Lenovo Phab2 Pro launch in India?

  • I Believe that Apple and Sony it the better phones than Samsung and HTC..!..

  • Sony, Samsung, HTC and apple. better phone better quality

  • Yeah still waiting...

  • if u search me on the united states will u find me on Australia? think dude.

  • Urgh. Really? Exactly what I'm looking for and then no NFC to be found. Guess I need to hold out yet again and continue to use my oneplus one which btw the NFC it stopped working over a year ago.

  • If I buy this mobile in the states will it work in australia

  • im actually costumer and xiaomi is monster dude... but they forgot 1 main thing Android update for mtk devices... But still xiaomi is better than Lenovo anyways ... better support build and more user friendly ... you can go on miui site and ask anything and so soon you get an answer... not lenovo's case....sorry im an lg fan but just saying

  • im one w/you

  • NFC is required.

  • NFC ?

  • If it had removable battery, it would have been better.

  • "No trolling - deliberately antagonizing other brand/model users" People are never contented on what they have. Just be thankful and you'll see the real joy of having these kinds of gadgets. Don't you know that you are lucky that you can afford these, and yet... Wow! I am really saddened with your comments. There are a lot of people who have nothing to eat and yet you are so complaining of these and those. Is that all that matters to you? The engineers from all these phone manufacturers works hard to give you the best and latest technology they have, and yet you don't appreciate their efforts. If you don't like the product, don't buy it. That simple.

  • Looking forward for this.

  • I was about to buy it but have a second thought due to lack of NFC!

  • It's coming in Nov

  • OK. And Huawei Honor Note 8?

  • I hope that this gadget will be upgradable to Nougat, because Nougat will come in October, or that will be instaled factory Nougat.

  • Their phones are made for people that know what they are doing. Not fab fanboys looking for something shiny. So they don't need to give much support.

  • My dearest.If you just consider it as an upper midrange,my answer is YES!Of course with a reasonable price!!One important point:If gsmArena doesn't write any reviews for any smartdevices,it is the greatest implicit signs of DON'T BUY IT OR THEM!!!That's all!Omid46...

  • Lol

  • Don't buy Lenovo mobiles. They are not providing any support to there high end models, so why should we buy there phones?

  • When the Phab2 Pro launching in Malaysia?

  • Bye bye Mi Max , A new King is here in 6 inch +

  • You know why? because you work for Xiaomi, that why your phone never broke. If you want to advertise for Xiaomi, BUY ADS TIME !!! don't pretend like a customer.

  • Gonna buy this phone once it goes official. All the phones are the same now (bigger screen, different processor, fingerprint unlock, better camera....etc) except this one. Google Tango man, state of the art. This phone is gonna be chick magnet.

  • lol . I m wondering why my only one Lenovo still working and ur 'all' Lenovo s are already dead

  • I own both Lenovo and Xiaomi phone before. Certainly, Xiaomi is the better one from build quality to OS implementation. All my Lenovo phone need to send to service center on various issue, but non of my Xiaomi phone yet has any problem. Certainly won't buy any Lenovo phone anymore despite their higher end spec. Xiaomi also manage their MIUI Android skin much better than other China brand, and certainly better than the one from Samsung, simply no bloatware and very minimalist. No apps drawer is non issue either, now I feel more redundant to have apps drawer, since I mostly access apps from home screen rather than always browse the apps drawer. The complain on Xiaomi mostly is because of the vendor rom installed on those import set where ads and bloat a lot. But the proper local set or the set flashed with MIUI global rom are free from these ads and bloat. Not trying to bash Lenovo or promote Xiaomi, but from someone who really own these phones. Build quality wise, all 2016 Xiaomi model are very good in build, with metal back, more refine design. You certainly need to check out their latest phone to find out how Xiaomi has evolve, they certainly not merely a hype, they really do deliver on cheap price, definitely one of the most satisfied brand for me compare to others.

  • Bye bye Mi Max , A new King is here in 6 inch + =)

  • Mi phones build quality is worst.. people go with specs don't consider build. That guy was 100% correct.

  • +1

  • Supposed to be going on sale at Best Buy and Loews starting at $499.

  • i would buy this if it had mhl tv out in specs.

  • how much is it iam planning to buy phab series one phone

  • It's a good smart phone but I like to have galaxy note with support project tango

  • wow this is really impressive

  • Xiaomi Mi max poor quality ? Dude you must be kidding.

  • I own the Sony Ultra Z too, Only this phone Phab 2 Pro will be available for T mobile LTE. Others do not have this option as you mentioned.

  • Lenovo is very well established in tech world by it's quality, after a few years owning Motorola and changing Motorola it launched really interesting smartphones.

  • With that information you easily can guess who has the tango hardware.

  • It's still not possible to shrink tango hardware in order to use a 5.5 display or the body racio would be 50% xD.

  • Out of line, lenovo isn't in need of copycat (it owns motorola). It had to be a giat 6.4 or 6.8 because of tango hardware ... ignorance.. try to understand the brand ideology before comment gibberish.

  • ....

  • the design was insane.

  • its not shit at all.

  • Really beautiful design Good work by Lenovo especially P2 Pro design even with busy back ...

  • Front design is Perfect But : Back is very busy Excellent choice for Drum Pads 24 Dolby Atmos in headphone is very nice But no options for P2 Pro speaker ! Even single or dual stereo speakers Overall : P2 Pro is very desirable so much I like it ...

  • USA bands from Lenovo...FINALLY!!!

  • It's "FECK" 😂😂

  • Xiami max poor build quality!? you must be tripping big time man

  • i am waiting

  • is this real or feck .

  • Zenfone 3 is basic.. All the upgrades are hardware and it has snapdragon 820 which can drain battery on heavy usage.. Mi max does have a poor build quality.. I saw it on one of the reviews.. I want snapdragon 652 due to its performance.. It doesn't overheat that much unlike 820.. Its like xperia x with double battery life, you can look at the review on xperia x while playing heavy games.. flawless.. It has the same cpu and gpu with phab 2 pro.. Also i want tango.. I saw it on review.. It can measure things on distance using camera.. How cool is that..? LOL

  • I am waiting

  • i am waiting for ready to buy the lenovo phab2 pro

  • I never used lenovo handphone before, many said that lenovo sets were lagged and kept hanged. After watching phab2 pro demo in youtube it is look awesome and make me interested to own it

  • It has a Dual LED flash.

  • September.

  • hahha!! it can measure objects in real time, but they forgot to add a flash option! thats ironic hahaha

  • Has it hit the Market Yet

  • Cost cutting..

  • High spec camera.. Bt no flash -_-

  • It can measure things , designing .. just watch youtube .

  • After xperia Z Ultra ,There Was Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3

  • Tango is the Google project..its like AR..we can measure things with phone..do some designing..its awesome ..

  • because its the worlds first smartphone with "google Tango". Check it out.

  • great specs.......I wanna grab it.!

  • I don't get it. This phone is much heavier than Huawei P8Max, yet the screen is much smaller.

  • Why not Zenfone 3 Ultra or Xiaomi Mi Max?

  • Yeah you can activate this phone in straight talk just purchase a BYOP kit in wall Mart together with a air time card and just call their hot line and provide the sim number for the AT&T or T-Mobile so that they can activate your phone.

  • I want this phone. Does anyone know if it will work with Cricket or Straight Talk? I am on Google Fi so I know I can't use it there. Where can we use this phone?

  • Please bring this model in 5.5". 6.4" will be too long to carry in pocket.

  • Nc phone

  • Hmmmm i hope it is the aswom phone ........ waitng to buy it.... wt is the cost of this phone..??

  • Snapdragon 652 is the best in all aspects.. It doesn't heat much compare to snapdragon 820, it can run games without lag unlike snapdragon 808 and battery life on this chipset is superb.. I will definitely buy this phone when its available.. This is what i want for an upgrade to sony xperia z ultra.. I wanted a sony brand but they didn't make it so i will switch to lenovo for that spec's..

  • Yes I'm wondering too so No sd820/23 No buy

  • What is tango???? The has logo backpanel on this phablet.

  • I think SD650/652 are powerful enough to run Android, it's similar to SD808.

  • Lion ion battery is long life circle than li polymer type have short battery life..li polymer have fast cell broken if u compare to li ion battery..i owned z ultra and battery cell life is like new even past 2.5 years old until now..please go to research first before judging the li ion performance,thank you;)

  • 1 more brand copycat sony xperia z ultra,i owned sony xperia z ultra is the first 6.4" giant massive phablet past 2 years old until now..this one,asus zenfone 3 ultra and xiaomi mi max is copy sony design..that's is so funny things,haha

  • price tag

  • its really a huge step forward but its leading to what.. weather user can make VR games or any other thing related to VR, i really appreciate these innovations , really great...

  • really,really agree..

  • why S652? other spec is superb...why there is no sub 6-inch phone with S820??????

  • First google tango project. What can it do??

  • No USB Type-C Battery Not Li-Polymer

  • Judging by the spec of this phone, the Xiaomi mi Max is probably the better choice. a 4050 mah battery is great, but xiaomi max has 4850mah, so 800mah extra.

  • too heavy and too thick. this is a real brick. don't put in your pocket pant, it'll going down easily.

  • No type-c usb, old generation Bluetooth 4.0... Is this phone from 2013? If you make something new and put big price tag on it make it perfect! OTG usb, miracast, mhl, 4k capable camera would be great too. Angry xperia z ultra user who is waiting for worthy replacement.

  • Why not write - Dolby Atmos ? Recording 5.1 360 degrees ?

  • Will come to singapore ?

  • 10.7mm 259g Snapdragon 652 Are you kidding me?

  • My favourite phablet!! Can wait it launch in Malaysia!!

  • You want to win you should have back 21mp rear 16mp battary 5500 or more. luanch next month or early

  • cool
