The prototype tablet has a 1080p display and runs a stock version of
Android 4.4 KitKat, but what's most important is the oomph under the hood: NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra K1 chip alongside 4GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage (microSD cards are not supported). That's in addition to USB 3.0, micro-HDMI, Bluetooth LE and LTE (availability will depend on carrier, but
Google isn't announcing which frequencies are supported just yet) -- and if that all sounds like overkill for a tablet, it's because the team wanted to make it extremely difficult to hit a ceiling in terms of computing power.
The Tango tablet sees the world through the two cameras and a depth sensor on the back. One camera is 4MP and comes with a (relatively) huge two-micron sensor that offers high light sensitivity and faster speeds than most standard options, while the other camera tracks motion more broadly with a 170-degree wide-angle fisheye lens.
