June 08, 2025
In a press event in New Delhi,Asuslaunched theASUS ZenFone ARin India. The ZenFone AR is the first high-end Tango phone (and the second overall, after the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro) and the first phone that supports Tango and Daydream VR.
For the uninitiated, Tango is an augmented reality (AR) platform created by Google. Tango-equipped phones can understand the physical space, by measuring the distance between the phone and objects in the real world. In practice, that means Tango phones can be used for AR applications like navigating through in-door spaces, but also for more recreational purposes like games.
Besides Tango, ZenFone AR also supports Daydream VR, Google’s virtual reality platform for mobile devices. As such, it’s compatible with Daydream View and other Daydream headsets.
To enable all that, ZenFone AR is equipped with a TriCam system consisting of three rear cameras — a motion tracking, depth sensing, and high-resolution 23MP camera — that enable the phone to a create a three-dimensional model of its surroundings and track its motion.
