The model is a slider, like its predecessor. The front of the smartphone is made of glossy plastic. The material of the rear part is similar, but already with a soft touch coating. Unfortunately, fingerprints on the device remain, especially on the front panel. The manufacturer took care of the screen protection. A glass is installed on the display to avoid minor scratches.

The controls are much larger than on the Android devices. Although the external details create a unique style Nokia N95 8Gb. Particularly interesting will be the sliding part of the device. In the lower position, the user will be able to access the keyboard, and in the upper position - the elements for working with the player. The decision to make the model a two-way slider is quite interesting.

The front part of the device was equipped with a speaker, front-end, display and control elements. Since the screen is not touch-sensitive, the buttons on the front of the device are responsible for all actions. The device has two speakers, which are located on the side panels. On the right side there are: a volume control, buttons for starting the player and releasing the shutter. On the left is the charging slot and infrared port.

The main camera and flash are on the back of the device. The smartphone is collapsible, this is hinted by the presence of a cover on the rear panel. Below it, there is a battery and a card slot. The manufacturer refused the flash drive, because in the updated N95 as many as 8GB of memory. The bottom end has become a shelter for the 3.5 jack, usb jack and microphone.

In comparison with modern devices N95 8GB miniature. However, despite the small size, the model turned out to be thick. The small device weighs a lot, as much as 128 grams.

In general, the screen is not bad for the device in 2007.

Installed in the Nokia N95 8Gb TFT matrix. The technology shows itself well, but the sun does not work well. Despite the excellent margin of brightness, the screen fades under bright light. Chrome and the viewing angles. The user will encounter a slight distortion of the picture.

Camera

Like almost all Nokia smartphones, the model is equipped with Carl Zeiss optics with an aperture of f / 2.8. The matrix of the updated N95 is 5 megapixels. The pictures are quite decent, the phone can easily replace a simple soap dish. For everyday tasks, the camera is sufficient, but you should not expect much.

Without additional functions, too, was not done. The camera of the smartphone is able to eliminate red eyes on the pictures. There is also a simple autofocus. A lot of shooting modes. In addition to automatic, a portrait, close-up, sport and landscape are available to the user. There is also a night mode, however the image quality in it is blurred and devoid of sharpness.

The device Nokia N95 8Gb is able to record and rollers. The quality is so-so, since the resolution is only 640 by 480, but there is a function. The video is shot in MPEG4 format. It is doubtful that the user will often resort to this function.

There is also a front camera in the device. There is nothing to boast about here. There is a recording of movies with a funny resolution of 176 by 144 pixels. Photos also do not shine with quality. The resolution of the images is only 320 by 240 pixels.

Hardware

In the Nokia N95 8Gb the original processor ARM 11 is installed with a performance of only 332 GHz. For unpretentious OS and a weak "filling" this is enough. RAM too little, only 128 MB. Even with the memory consumption per system, the user will have enough leftovers for almost any task.

In the usual N95 there was a flash drive. Novelty, alas, is deprived of the opportunity to increase memory. Although the new N95 does not need it. The manufacturer identified the models as much as 8 GB of native memory. The user of this quantity will suffice, both on applications, and on multimedia.

Autonomy

Under the cover, behind the device, is a battery for 1200 maH. The battery provides a good working time. In the standby mode, the device will last two or three days. When calling, working with mail and using the camera, a full battery will last a little more than a day. If you use N95 8 GB continuously, the battery will be discharged in 5-6 hours.

System

Installed in Nokia N95 8Gb firmware Symbian version 9.2. On top of the system there is also a proprietary shell. Adaptation of OS at the height and serious hangs does not occur. The platform is undemanding and consumes a minimum of RAM. Most of the necessary programs are already in the device, and the missing ones can be installed. Of course, Symbian is not as interesting as "Android", but it is capable of much.

Equipment

The kit includes instructions, Nokia N95 8Gb, headset, charger and usb. The package is familiar for Symbian devices. The desire to get rid of the standard headset does not arise, since headphones are quality, like the rest of the set. Most likely, the user will need a cover to protect the plastic case from damage and fingerprints.

The result

Apparatus N95 8Gb - definitely the top of the manufacturer's skill in 2007. Nokia gathered in its flagship the most excellent features and functionality. Naturally, there were minor shortcomings, but in general everything is fine. Although expecting from the then market leader is less and not worth it.
