Nokia N82 is a Symbian smartphone with a 5 MP autofocus camera, xenon flash and sliding lens cover. It combines a 2.4-inch screen, assisted GPS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, stereo speakers and a microSD card slot in a bar-shaped body.
All About Symbian and GSMArena praise camera quality, xenon flash, robust construction and responsive multitasking. Both find the smaller display and keypad compromises beside the N95 family. All About Symbian finds the spaced numeric keys more usable than they appear, while GSMArena finds them awkward for typing without looking. Their GPS findings differ, with GSMArena reporting slow initial satellite acquisition. GSMArena also criticises headphone audio and quiet ringtones; All About Symbian finds media synchronisation and the gallery interface cumbersome. Contemporary battery findings range from a heavy-use day to several days with lighter use. These reviews describe production software of the period, rather than availability of retired services today.
2.4-inch TFT LCD QVGA with automatic portrait/landscape interface rotation, as reported in both contemporary full reviews. Native refresh and brightness in nits are unpublished.

Memory
Symbian OS 9.2 with S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 and 128 MB RAM, reported by GSMArena. Chip model is not inferred.
Storage type
Approximately 100 MB user memory reported by All About Symbian; GSMArena measures 132 MB built-in memory in its test. These are differing reported memory areas rather than separate configurations. Hot-swappable microSD slot; SDHC support and an 8 GB card are documented by All About Symbian. The launch release includes a 2 GB card in standard packages, subject to regional variation.

Main camera
Up to 5 MP, 2592 × 1944 pixels, autofocus Carl Zeiss optics, xenon flash and separate autofocus assist lamp. Sliding lens cover operates the main camera; two-stage capture key. Exact optical focal length and minimum focusing distance are not inferred from sibling models.
Front camera
Secondary front camera supports still photographs, video capture and video calls. Exact maker guide does not specify its megapixel count; left unpublished here.
Video recording
Main camera records VGA 640 × 480 MPEG-4 video; 30 fps reported by both contemporary full reviews. The guide distinguishes MP4 TV-quality modes from QCIF 3GP sharing mode and documents electronic video stabilisation.
Camera features
Self-timer, sequence capture, white balance, exposure compensation, ISO, colour tones, contrast, sharpness and composition grid. Xenon flash modes include automatic, on, off and red-eye reduction. Features may depend on firmware.
Battery and charging

None
Battery life detail
Removable BP-6MT, 1050 mAh independently reported by both full reviews. The 2008 Asia issue-2 guide gives up to 190/260 minutes talk and 210/225 hours standby for WCDMA/GSM respectively. GSMArena quotes a different 4.5-hour talk claim; conditions and source periods remain explicit.
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.

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.
Software
Operating system
Symbian
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.
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.
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.
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.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, AVRCP, imaging, printing, dial-up networking, file transfer, hands-free, headset, HID, object push, SIM access and synchronisation profiles, as listed in the exact guide.
USB
Micro-USB data socket and 3.5 mm headset/TV-out connector. USB 2.0 reported by GSMArena; no infrared port.
Positioning
Integrated GPS and assisted GPS. Original Nokia Maps, voice-guidance trials and connected services are historical software features; present availability is not promised.
