Front camera–0.1 MP
Main camera2 MP rear camera; up to 1600 × 1200 pixels in the GSMArena/MobilMania production test. PhoneArena confirms no flash.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 cameraNo front video-call camera in the production reviewsMaker 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 recordingCIF 352 × 288 MPEG-4 recording in both production tests; no frame rate inferredMPEG-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 featuresNight mode, image sequence, self-timer, white balance and colour effects in the GSMArena/MobilMania testAutomatic/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.

Battery and charging
Battery–950 mAh
Wireless chargingNoneNone
Battery life detailRemovable BL-5F in both production tests, described as 1000 mAh. An exact maker capacity specification was not recovered, so no headline capacity set. PhoneArena measures 4 hours 15 minutes of talk in its conditions; GSMArena/MobilMania reports four to five days on GSM. These are different workloads, not playback or universal endurance claims.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 chargingSeparate charger connector. Exact issue 2 guide lists AC-3, AC-4 and AC-5, plus specified older chargers through CA-44. The GSMArena/MobilMania test confirms no charging through the computer data port; no wattage published in the maker guide.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.

Software
Operating systemSymbianSymbian
Software at launchSymbian OS 9.1 with S60 Third Edition in both production reviews; not Feature Pack 1 from the later E66Symbian 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 featuresTeam Suite, conference calling, internet calling, email, phone-content search, PDF reader and ZIP manager. Quickoffice document viewing; editing required a purchased upgrade in both production reviews. Original alarm has one non-repeating alarm in the tests. Historical online services may no longer operate.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 detailNokia's 12 February 2007 announcement confirms already available in selected markets, with broader first-quarter availability. Month precision retained; the statement does not establish a worldwide first-sale day. No unsupported predecessor relation.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 boxGSMArena/MobilMania's tested package includes AC-4 charger, battery, software CD, owner guide, CA-53 USB cable, HS-5 mono headset and CP-18 pouch; no memory card or stereo headset. Regional contents may differ.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 networkGSM/EDGE and UMTS in the exact owner guide. PhoneArena's tested model supports quad-band GSM and UMTS 2100 MHz; no HSDPA or American UMTS support inferred.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-FiIEEE 802.11b/g in PhoneArena's exact production test; maker guide describes WLAN and internet callingIEEE 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.
BluetoothBluetooth 1.2 without multimedia stereo profiles in PhoneArena's exact-model review; not copied from the E66's Bluetooth 2.0/A2DP specificationBluetooth 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.

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.
PositioningNo built-in GPS receiver; software supports a compatible external Bluetooth GPS module in the GSMArena/MobilMania review. Historical services are not promised available today.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.
