Microsoft Kin One Design and Build

Design and Build

The design of the Microsoft Kin One is distinctive, encapsulating functionality within a compact and curvy form. Measuring 82.6 x 63.5 x 19.1 mm and weighing 110.6 grams, the Kin One is notably pocket-friendly and easy to handle. The rounded shape and substantial thickness provide a reassuring grip, although the unconventional form factor might not appeal to everyone. One of its standout features is the physical QWERTY keyboard that slides out, making texting and social posts speedy and tactile, which is a nod towards its target market. The device uses a Mini-SIM and has a very utilitarian, almost playful design, with a matte black finish.
