Active sliding lens cover and two-stage shutter key.5 MP autofocus Carl Zeiss Tessar, F2.8, physical focal length 5.4 mm, dual LED flash/video light; no sliding lens cover. Maker launch sheet gives 2584 × 1938 still matrix, while exact issue 1.0 owner guide and GSMArena specify 2592 × 1944; source difference retained.
Front cameraMaker 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.Front video-call camera confirmed by exact owner guide and production review; no megapixel value inferred.
ZoomNo 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 recordingMPEG-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.Maker sheet: MPEG-4 VGA 640 × 480 at up to 30 fps. GSMArena also tests nHD 640 × 360 at 30 fps. All About Symbian distinguishes its widescreen default from full VGA; no HD recording claimed.

Software
Operating systemSymbianSymbian
Software at launchSymbian 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 featuresContacts/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.Symbian OS 9.4/S60 5th Edition with homescreen widgets, kinetic scrolling and original Ovi services. Supplied Quickoffice is a viewer; editing/upgrades and original PDF trial conditions vary by software package. No current availability of original app-store/services assumed.
Release detailAnnounced 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.Announced 2 September 2009 as a smaller companion to N97, with October shipping planned. Maker 28 October article says it reaches worldwide shelves that week and directs readers to shops; October retained without inventing an exact worldwide day. No explicit maker predecessor wording, so no direct replaces link.
In the boxOriginal 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 networkOriginal 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.Maker sheet: WCDMA 900/1900/2100 with HSDPA, EGSM 850/900/1800/1900. European RM-555 identified by exact owner guide. GSMArena’s connectivity paragraph incorrectly calls 3G quad-band; its opening table and maker sheet list three WCDMA bands.
Wi-FiIEEE 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.IEEE 802.11b/g without UPnP support, explicitly stated by maker launch sheet. GSMArena’s connectivity paragraph claims UPnP, so that conflicting secondary claim is not transferred to the headline.
BluetoothBluetooth 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.Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR; exact guide confirms A2DP, AVRCP, GAVDP, hands-free/headset, dial-up networking, object push, file transfer, imaging, remote SIM, phonebook access and device identification profiles.
USBmini-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.Micro-USB Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data/charging and 3.5 mm stereo Nokia AV socket with PAL/NTSC TV-out support.
PositioningBuilt-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.GPS, assisted GPS and electronic compass; original Ovi Maps supports walking/driving navigation. Launch services and licences may require purchase or upgrade; GSMArena’s test has a region-dependent ten-day voice-navigation trial. Historical services are not promised usable today.
