Nokia's Juha Alakarhu and the Lumia 1020 camera housing
We also listened on to Nokia’s Juha Alakarhu talk about the process of making the technological achievement, and as you can see in the split diagram of the camera housing, there’s a lot going on.
One way they made the camera thinner, we’re told, is by pushing things out to the side e.g. the gyroscope.
