| Performance | ||
| Storage | 10 MB | 30 MB (better) |
| Memory | 10 MB of internal dynamic memory shared by contacts, messages, photographs, videos, calendar and applications. This is user storage, not RAM. All About Symbian's less than 8 MB free application memory after boot is a tested remaining-memory figure, not a physical RAM capacity. | Up to 30 MB dynamic shared internal storage, original consumer specifications. The September 2005 brochure instead states up to 22 MB; installed software and free user space differ. Neither figure establishes physical RAM. Contemporary reviews report free operational memory, not a verified installed RAM capacity. |
| Storage type | Hot-swappable reduced-size dual-voltage MMC. Reader operates at 1.8 V and requires cards supporting both 1.8 V and 3.0 V. Original standard package lists a 64 MB card; Nokia explicitly notes variation by market and network operator. No maximum supported card capacity inferred. | Hot-swappable reduced-size dual-voltage 1.8/3 V MMC card; original consumer package lists a 64 MB card, with market variation. English guide explicitly excludes SD cards. No unpublished maximum card capacity inferred. |

Supports stills, video and two-way video calls, subject to compatible services. | VGA 640 × 480-pixel secondary camera for photographs, video and video calls. The 0.3 MP headline rounds the published pixel count; original N70-1/RM-84, not a no-front-camera regional variant. |
| Zoom | Rear 6× and front 2× digital zoom, original consumer specifications. Digital zoom is not optical zoom. | Up to 20× digital zoom for rear photographs and 2× for front photographs; no optical zoom. |
| Video recording | 3GPP recording at up to 176 × 144 pixels. The recovered original guide prints the lower-resolution option as 128 × 196; the later English guide prints 128 × 96. Maximum recording length is up to one hour per clip subject to memory; short MMS clips are limited to 300 kB, with some networks accepting only 100 kB. Playback codec support is separate from capture resolution. | High mode records CIF 352 × 288 MP4; Normal and Sharing use QCIF 176 × 144 3GPP, original English guide. High recording is limited by free storage and one hour per clip. Normal clips have a 300 kB limit, approximately 20 seconds; network MMS limits may be lower.

Exact English guide confirms BL-5C compatibility. |
