Intel brought back the Project Tango smartphone at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), and the smartphone now has a price.

The company has been readying its Project Tango phone project for months. Now the device, equipped with a 3D camera, is available for pre-order from Intel's website.

The Project Tango smartphone has an Intel RealSense 3D camera that allows users to see 3D images and maps right on the smartphones screen, TechRadar reports.

The smartphone is target ted toward business users and developers, who need to see 3D-rendered images on a small, portable screen. Consumers will likely be able to experience augmented and virtual reality games on the Project Tango as well.

Project Tango was first previewed at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in August. Intel connected the phone to a Nerf gun and showed it shooting virtual targets.

On the back of the Project Tango smartphone there are actually two cameras: the Intel RealSense 3D camera and a traditional 8 megapixel camera. The front-facing camera is 2 megapixels.

The Project Tango smartphone is perfect for interior designers or landscapers who need to map areas out before building. Architects will also find the phone extremely useful for their projects.

The screen on the Project Tango is a nice, large 6-inch Quad HD display that will help users see their 3D images and maps clearly. The resolution of the screen is 2,560x1,440 pixels.

The Project Tango is powered by Google's Android operating system, but it will come with a very different processor than most Android phones. It will utilize the powerful Intel Atom x7-Z8700 processor. Atom chips are mostly used in netbook computers.

The unique Project Tango smartphone does not yet have an official ship date, but the cost has been announced at $399. The phone can be pre-ordered through Intel's online store. Customers will only be allowed to pre-order one device.
