The folks over at iFixit have given the Project Tango tablet a teardown. With a device capable of 3D mapping, it is no surprise that the internal specifications are impressive. And by internal specifications being impressive, something like the processor being NVIDIA's Tegra K1 clocked at 2.3GHz is not important. The amount of sensors to make the vital features possible is.

The infrared projector, built by Mantis Vision, was built specifically for the Project Tango tablet and many are saying it resembles Microsoft's Kinect from the Xbox One. The infrared camera for the projector is 4MP and have 170-degree motion tracking. The front camera has 120-degree viewing. And the massive dual-cell battery is sized at 2480mAh is custom, too, because it allows developers to draw as much power as needed.
