Microsoft's first Windows 10 flagship, the LUMIA 950, was designed for early technology adopters. It had a slim minimal design to showcase Windows 10 Mobile.
I designed Microsoft's first Windows 10 flagship, the LUMIA 950.
The Lumia 950 had a 5.2-inch OLED and a 20 Megapixel camera Carl Zeiss optics.
Design drivers keep the team unified.
The Lumia 950 was designed in tandem with the Lumia 950 XL. We maintained a consistent design language across the two devices.
Every element is designed and evaluated to ensure the best decision.
I discovered a way to reduce the perceived thickness, but the design was fully studied before moving forward with it.
I visualized Ceramic injection molding vs. Glass injection molding so we could see what these technologies would look like on the phones.
I use visuals like this to facilitate design decisions. These are 3 versions of a camera detail.
Component layout and design are intrinsically related, so I co-developed the device with the engineering team.
These camera layouts all require different board layouts, which in turn affect overall size, feature placement, NFC layout, etc..
