| Main camera | 2 MP | 5 MP (better) |
| Ultra wide camera | None | None |
| Telephoto camera | None | None |
| Optical zoom | None | None |
| Front camera | – | 0.1 MP |
| Main camera | 2 MP rear camera. Maker guide confirms up to 1600 × 1200 JPEG pictures, night mode, white balance, colour effects, six-picture sequence and self-timer. | 5 MP CMOS, up to 2592 × 1944 pixels, autofocus Carl Zeiss optics, called Vario-Tessar by the original consumer table. Physical focal length 5.6 mm; focus 10 cm to infinity, macro 10–50 cm. Mechanical shutter 1/1000–1/3 second and integrated flash. Active sliding lens cover and two-stage shutter key. |
| Front camera | No secondary video-call camera in GSMArena test. No front-camera resolution inferred. | Maker consumer table specifies a CIF 352 × 288-pixel front sensor; headline 0.1 MP rounds that pixel count. GSMArena reports 640 × 480 output; sensor format and processed output are not treated as equivalent. |
| Zoom | – | No optical zoom. Maker consumer table gives up to 20× digital still zoom, up to 6× at 5 MP; video up to 10×, up to 4× at VGA. Earlier launch datasheet gives 8× video zoom; preserve mode/source distinction. |
| Video recording | GSMArena reports up to 352 × 288 at 15 fps in MPEG-4 format; maker guide describes .3gpp clips without numerical frame rate. | MPEG-4 VGA 640 × 480 at up to 30 fps, digital stabilisation; MP4 default and 3GP sharing modes. Consumer table claims AAC stereo and a digital stereo microphone, but All About Symbian’s original production test identifies one recording microphone and mono audio; the stereo claim is not treated as verified recording hardware. Clip length depends on available storage. |
| Camera features | – | Automatic/user/close-up/sport/landscape/night/night-portrait scenes, white balance, colour effects, exposure compensation ±2 EV in 0.5 steps, flash settings, self-timer and sequence shooting. On-device still/video editing and compatible PictBridge, Bluetooth or UPnP printing. |
| Battery and charging | ||
| Battery | – | 950 mAh |
| Wireless charging | None | None |
| Battery life detail | Removable BP-4L. Maker guide 9255175 accessory chapter lists 970 mAh, conflicting with the 1500 mAh battery photographed and described in GSMArena production test. Headline capacity omitted pending resolution. GSMArena obtained six days of moderate mixed UMTS use, an attributed test rather than a standardised maker claim. | Removable BL-5F 950 mAh. Original consumer claims up to 160 minutes WCDMA or 240 minutes GSM talk, 200/225 hours standby respectively. Earlier launch datasheet gives 210 minutes GSM talk and 215 hours standby; runtime conditions and source date matter. Datasheet claims up to 7 hours music playback. |
| Wired charging | Dedicated bottom charger socket; maker guide lists AC-3/AC-4/AC-5 and CA-44 compatibility, plus CA-70 charging connectivity cable. No charging wattage or generic data-port charging claim inferred. | Dedicated small Nokia charger connector with supplied AC-5 in the Danish package. mini-USB is for data, not charging, independently tested by GSMArena. Charging wattage not published. |

| Type | Standard | Standard |
| Weight | 153 g | 120 g (better) |
| Thickness | 13.9 mm (better) | 21 mm |
| Height × width | 117 × 70 mm | 99 × 53 mm |
| Weight detail | 153 g and 117 × 70 × 11.5–13.9 mm in maker guide 9255175; headline uses maximum thickness. GSMArena and IT Pro list 150 g, retained as a source conflict. | – |
| Buttons | QWERTY keyboard, Navi directional pad, email/phonebook/My Own shortcut keys and side volume/voice controls; GSMArena distinguishes these from the E61 joystick. | Numeric keypad slides out one way; dedicated media controls slide out the other and switch to landscape use. Five-way navigation/soft/menu keys, side volume/zoom, shutter and Gallery controls. This is a slider, not a hinged folding screen. |
| Speakers | Built-in loudspeaker; Pop-Port wired audio. Original Bluetooth lacks stereo A2DP in production test. | Integrated stereo loudspeakers, 3.5 mm stereo headphone/TV-out connector with PAL/NTSC support and stereo FM/Visual Radio. Compatible wired headset provides the radio antenna; optional Bluetooth audio uses A2DP. |
| Software | ||
| Operating system | Symbian | Symbian |
| Software at launch | Symbian 9.1a, S60 Third Edition in maker technical table. No Feature Pack 1 in GSMArena test. | Symbian OS 9.2 with S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1, independently verified in the original GSMArena full test. Launch datasheet’s unusual “Feature Pack 3.1” wording is not copied as a separate OS version. |
| Software features | – | Contacts/calendar/tasks/notes, email with attachments, Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map, music/video player, image/video editing, Quickoffice and PDF document viewers, and PC Suite synchronisation. The 2008 owner guide covers later software; retired online services are not promised current functionality. |
| Release detail | Announced 12 February 2007 with Q2 availability planned. Nokia annual report confirms shipments during 2007; GSMArena production test was published 4 May. Earliest worldwide on-sale month remains unresolved, so year precision retained. No predecessor relation inferred without explicit maker wording. | Announced 26 September 2006. Maker announces first regional shipments on 22 March 2007; contemporary March/April production tests establish 2007 retail presence, but no exact worldwide first-sale date is confirmed, so year precision is retained. This record is the original N95-1/RM-159, not the later N95 8GB or American/Chinese variants. |
| In the box | – | Original Danish consumer package: N95, CA-75U video cable, DKE-2 data cable, HS-45/AD-43 stereo headset/adapter, BL-5F battery and AC-5 charger. Region/operator bundles can differ. |
| Connectivity | ||
| Mobile network | GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and UMTS 2100 in exact RM-227 maker guide. No HSDPA in GSMArena test. | Original N95-1/RM-159: GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA/HSDPA 2100 MHz. Consumer overview specifies 3.6 Mbps downlink/384 kbps uplink; its later packet-data row reverses the labels. The overview ordering is retained with that discrepancy explicit. Regional N95 variants are not silently combined. |
| Wi-Fi | Integrated WLAN; maker table lists 802.11g/e/i. IT Pro lists 802.11b/g, WPA/WPA2 personal/enterprise. | IEEE 802.11b/g, 2.4 GHz; infrastructure and ad-hoc modes, WEP/WPA/802.1x and compatible UPnP home-network sharing, exact English owner guide. Actual network and service compatibility applies. |
| Bluetooth | Bluetooth 1.2 in maker technical table. GSMArena confirms no A2DP stereo-headset support in original firmware. | Bluetooth 2.0; English N95-1 guide lists A2DP, audio/video remote control, imaging/printing, dial-up networking, file transfer, hands-free/headset, HID, object push, SIM access and synchronisation profiles. |
| USB | USB 2.0 via Pop-Port in maker guide; IT Pro specifies Full-Speed, not Hi-Speed. GSMArena tested PC Suite, mass-storage and direct-print connection modes. | mini-USB, USB 2.0 full-speed and USB mass storage, maker datasheet and tested physical connector. The Danish consumer table incorrectly labels it Pop-Port. Guide documents PC Suite, Media player, Data transfer and Image print modes; infrared is also provided. |
| Positioning | – | Built-in GPS and Nokia Maps at launch. The 2008 issue-3 exact owner guide additionally documents network-assisted A-GPS; this later software feature is not assigned to initial firmware. Launch mapping/route planning and paid navigation packages are historical services, not promised to operate today. |
