MemoryNokia guide 9255175 lists up to 50 MB user memory and a 32-bit RISC ARM9 without clock or installed RAM. GSMArena and IT Pro list 60 MB user memory. Configuration uses the maker guide figure; storage is not physical RAM, which is omitted.128 MB RAM, independently reported by All About Symbian and GSMArena; demand paging reduces working-memory use. Symbian OS 9.2 and S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1. Chip model not inferred.
Storage typeHot-swappable microSD under removable rear cover in owner guide; IT Pro lists support up to 2 GB. GSMArena received no memory card in its test package.Fixed 8 GB internal flash storage; no microSD slot. GSMArena reports a separate 133 MB phone-memory area and 7672 MB available mass memory in its test; these are not added to nominal storage capacity.

Front cameraNo secondary video-call camera in GSMArena test. No front-camera resolution inferred.Secondary front camera supports video calling, photographs and video in the exact guide and GSMArena test. Sensor megapixels not specified in the recovered exact consumer datasheet; no sibling figure inferred.
Zoom–Digital still zoom up to 20×, up to 6× at 5 MP; video up to 10×, up to 4× at VGA. No optical-zoom claim.
Video recordingGSMArena 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, AAC audio, MP4 default or 3GP for MMS. Clip length limited by available storage. All About Symbian describes mono recording; stereo speakers do not imply stereo capture.
Camera features–Automatic and scene modes, white balance, exposure compensation ±2 EV in 0.5 steps, flash modes and colour effects. Asia datasheet advertises a video editor, while the original All About Symbian production test finds it removed; later 2009 issue-4 guide documents editing. Keep firmware/source differences explicit.
Battery and charging
Battery–1,200 mAh
Video playback (maker's claim)–Up to 2.5 hours
Wireless chargingNoneNone
Battery life detailRemovable 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-6F; 1200 mAh reported independently in original All About Symbian and GSMArena tests. Asia maker datasheet claims up to 5 hours GSM or 3.5 hours WCDMA talk, 11.5 days standby, 2.5 hours video playback and 10 hours gaming. GSMArena quotes different advertised 6-hour/280-hour figures; retain regional/source conditions.
Wired chargingDedicated 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 Nokia charging connector; Asia package lists AC-5 charger. mini-USB does not charge the phone, as tested by GSMArena.

Release detailAnnounced 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.Nokia announces first global shipments on 15 October 2007 and says retail arrival is forthcoming; this is not a confirmed first on-sale day. Release retains year precision. The maker explicitly calls original N95 its predecessor. European/Asian RM-320 is distinct from later North American variants; exact archived product/support/library destinations remain inaccessible in this source pass.
Connectivity
Mobile networkGSM 850/900/1800/1900 and UMTS 2100 in exact RM-227 maker guide. No HSDPA in GSMArena test.Original European/Asian N95-2/RM-320: GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA/HSDPA 2100 MHz in exact Asia datasheet. Packet-data row uses ambiguous UL/DL units (384/3.6 MB); no byte-per-second interpretation inferred. The 2009 issue-4 RM-320 guide additionally claims UMTS 900, while another EN-US mirror combines RM-320 declaration with 850/1900 bands; those inconsistencies are not treated as extra verified radio hardware.
