The Phab2 Pro is a huge 6.4-inch Android device with a 2560 x 1440 screen. It runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor and 4GB of RAM, plus an internal storage of 64GB with options for expansion. It also comes with two SIM slots, 3 microphones, Dolby audio, an 8-megapixel front camera, and the 16-megapixel Tango array.
