Nokia N95 8GB is a two-way sliding Symbian smartphone with a 2.8-inch screen, fixed 8 GB storage, a 5 MP autofocus camera and assisted GPS. It retains Wi-Fi, HSDPA, dedicated media keys, stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headphone socket.
All About Symbian and GSMArena find the larger screen, extra working memory and longer battery life meaningful improvements over the original N95. Both praise the broad feature set, improved slide and camera quality, while criticising the missing lens cover and memory-card slot. All About Symbian finds camera startup slow and the black finish slippery; GSMArena reports quicker camera operation than the original but weak LED flash and disappointing headphone audio. Battery findings remain usage-dependent: All About Symbian expects most users to finish a day, while GSMArena reports roughly 36–48 hours under its mixed test. These are contemporary production-software assessments, not claims about current service availability.
2.8-inch TFT QVGA, 240 × 320 pixels, up to 16.7 million colours and ambient-light sensor. Native refresh and brightness in nits not published.

Memory
128 MB RAM, independently reported by All About Symbian and GSMArena; demand paging reduces working-memory use. Symbian OS 9.2 and S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1. Chip model not inferred.
Storage type
Fixed 8 GB internal flash storage; no microSD slot. GSMArena reports a separate 133 MB phone-memory area and 7672 MB available mass memory in its test; these are not added to nominal storage capacity.

Main camera
5 MP CMOS, up to 2592 × 1944 pixels, autofocus Carl Zeiss Tessar optics. Maker Asia datasheet: physical focal length 5.6 mm, focus 10 cm to infinity, macro 10–50 cm, mechanical shutter 1/1000–1/4 second. LED flash and two-stage shutter button; no sliding lens cover.
Front camera
Secondary front camera supports video calling, photographs and video in the exact guide and GSMArena test. Sensor megapixels not specified in the recovered exact consumer datasheet; no sibling figure inferred.
Zoom
Digital still zoom up to 20×, up to 6× at 5 MP; video up to 10×, up to 4× at VGA. No optical-zoom claim.
Video recording
MPEG-4 VGA 640 × 480 at up to 30 fps; digital stabilisation, AAC audio, MP4 default or 3GP for MMS. Clip length limited by available storage. All About Symbian describes mono recording; stereo speakers do not imply stereo capture.
Camera features
Automatic and scene modes, white balance, exposure compensation ±2 EV in 0.5 steps, flash modes and colour effects. Asia datasheet advertises a video editor, while the original All About Symbian production test finds it removed; later 2009 issue-4 guide documents editing. Keep firmware/source differences explicit.

Battery life detail
Removable BL-6F; 1200 mAh reported independently in original All About Symbian and GSMArena tests. Asia maker datasheet claims up to 5 hours GSM or 3.5 hours WCDMA talk, 11.5 days standby, 2.5 hours video playback and 10 hours gaming. GSMArena quotes different advertised 6-hour/280-hour figures; retain regional/source conditions.
Wired charging
Dedicated Nokia charging connector; Asia package lists AC-5 charger. mini-USB does not charge the phone, as tested by GSMArena. Charging wattage unpublished.

Weight detail
99 × 53 × 21 mm maximum, 128 g, Black finish; exact Asia maker datasheet gives volume 96 cc, while GSMArena quotes 95 cc. Two-way slide exposes numeric keypad or media controls.
Speakers
Stereo speakers, 3.5 mm Nokia AV connector, stereo FM/Visual Radio and TV output through CA-75U cable. Radio requires compatible wired headset as antenna. Bluetooth stereo headphones supported.

Release detail
Nokia announces first global shipments on 15 October 2007 and says retail arrival is forthcoming; this is not a confirmed first on-sale day. Release retains year precision. The maker explicitly calls original N95 its predecessor. European/Asian RM-320 is distinct from later North American variants; exact archived product/support/library destinations remain inaccessible in this source pass.
Connectivity
Mobile network
Original European/Asian N95-2/RM-320: GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA/HSDPA 2100 MHz in exact Asia datasheet. Packet-data row uses ambiguous UL/DL units (384/3.6 MB); no byte-per-second interpretation inferred. The 2009 issue-4 RM-320 guide additionally claims UMTS 900, while another EN-US mirror combines RM-320 declaration with 850/1900 bands; those inconsistencies are not treated as extra verified radio hardware.
Wi-Fi
IEEE 802.11b/g with UPnP sharing; exact issue-4 guide documents infrastructure/ad-hoc operation and WEP/WPA/802.1x security. Actual network compatibility applies.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP stereo audio. Exact guide lists AVRCP, imaging/printing, dial-up networking, file transfer, hands-free/headset, HID, object push, SIM access and synchronisation profiles.
USB
mini-USB, USB 2.0 and mass-storage support, exact maker datasheet. Owner guide documents PC Suite, Data transfer, Image print and Media player modes. Infrared is also provided; no USB high-speed transfer figure inferred.
Positioning
Integrated GPS and A-GPS confirmed at shipping launch; Nokia Maps and optional paid navigation functions. Historical map, music, online-video and N-Gage services are not promised to operate today.
