Performance
ChipARM11 369 MHz (GSMArena)–
Storage78 MB160 MB
MemoryMaker datasheet lists up to 74 MB internal dynamic memory and up to 78 MB internal NAND flash. Configs record the latter, not the included 8 GB removable card. Installed RAM is left unpublished; dynamic/free memory is not treated as installed RAM. GSMArena reports a different user-available figure, just under 85 MB.Up to 160 MB dynamic shared internal storage for applications and personal files. Installed physical RAM and chip model are not inferred from available working-memory figures or unspecified review references.
Storage typemicroSD expansion; 8 GB microSD card supplied in the original maker launch package. No inferred maximum card size.Hot-swappable microSD slot; original maker consumer specification supports cards up to 2 GB. Bundled cards vary by regional sales package; no universal included card assumed.

Front camera–0.1 MP
Main camera5 MP autofocus Carl Zeiss Tessar lens, F2.8, 5.45 mm physical focal length and dual LED flash/video light. Maker sheet gives 2584 × 1938 capture; GSMArena production review gives 2592 × 1944. Exact disagreement retained.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 cameraSecondary front camera for video calls; GSMArena identifies CIF without an inferred megapixel count.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 recordingMain camera MPEG-4 VGA (640 × 480) at up to 30 fps, from maker launch datasheet.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.

Battery life detailRemovable Nokia BL-5K, 1200 mAh. Launch maker maxima: 270 minutes 3G or 410 minutes GSM talk, 360 hours standby, 160 minutes video calls, seven hours QVGA/15fps video playback or 30 hours music in offline mode; different activities and conditions, not interchangeable endurance.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 chargingMicro-USB charging, confirmed by exact RM-333 guide. USB data transfer can continue while charging; no maker charging wattage 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.

Software
Operating systemSymbianSymbian
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 featuresS60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 on Symbian OS 9.3, music/podcasting, video player, Photos and N-Gage client. Document viewers do not include editing out of the box. Launch trials, online music, maps and regional iPlayer are historical services.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 detailMaker announcement on 26 August 2008 planned October shipping. Nokia shipping press release reproduced by Cheat Code Central on 15 October says globally shipping and available; October retained without assuming publication day is worldwide first retail. No explicit maker direct-predecessor evidence established.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 networkEuropean RM-333: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA 900/1900/2100 with HSDPA. Maker sheet separately lists a regional 850/1900/2100 WCDMA version; RM-334 guide supports that regional version, not combined 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.
