GSMArena quotes a different 4.5-hour talk claim; conditions and source periods remain explicit. | 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 Nokia charging connector; DC-4, AC-4 and AC-5 supported in the guide. Micro-USB data connection does not charge the handset, confirmed by GSMArena. | Dedicated small Nokia charger connector with supplied AC-5 in the Danish package. mini-USB is for data, not charging, independently tested by GSMArena.

| Design | ||
| Type | Standard | Standard |
| Weight | 114 g (better) | 120 g |
| Thickness | 17.3 mm (better) | 21 mm |
| Height × width | 112 × 50.2 mm | 99 × 53 mm |
| Buttons | – | 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. |
| Weight detail | 112 × 50.2 × 17.3 mm and 114 g from GSMArena's exact-model physical review; original maker datasheet mirrors could not be read in this source pass. No weight convention inferred beyond that review. | – |
| Colours | Original silver and later black finishes; one hardware model. March 2008 maker release publishes black-finish geotagging features and supports microSD cards up to 8 GB; software availability depends on firmware. | – |
| Sensors | Ambient-light sensor and orientation sensor; automatic interface and captured-image rotation. | – |
| Speakers | Stereo loudspeakers, both on the right side for landscape use. Speakerphone and ringtone measurements in reviews are distinct from headphone audio quality. | 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 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 | Original S60 applications include multimedia gallery, image/video editing, music player, FM radio, calendar, messaging, document viewing and PDF reader. Firmware, operator and region affect software; retired Ovi, N-Gage and music services are not advertised as current. | 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 | Nokia's dated launch release states that N82 is available now in key markets on 14 November 2007 and explicitly calls the original N95 its predecessor. The N95 8GB remains a coexisting alternative; no N73 replacement link is inferred from review comparisons. Silver and later black finishes remain one model. Archived maker product/support and full press inventory remain unresolved. | 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 | RM-313 guide confirms GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA 2100. HSDPA supported; regional model identity is retained rather than borrowing other radio bands. | 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 | IEEE 802.11b/g at 2.4 GHz; home-network UPnP sharing and playback. The guide documents WEP, WPA and 802.1x support. | 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. |

| USB | Micro-USB data socket and 3.5 mm headset/TV-out connector. USB 2.0 reported by GSMArena; no infrared port. | 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 | Integrated GPS and assisted GPS. Original Nokia Maps, voice-guidance trials and connected services are historical software features; present availability is not promised. | Built-in GPS and Nokia Maps at launch.
