 "Nokia N95 8GB")
Clearly hoping to capitalize on the success of the N95, Nokia’s upgraded it to 8GB. Frankly there’s little sense in reviewing the phone from scratch as it’s similar to its predecessor in a lot of ways, and much has been written about the earlier model. Tech2.0 had reviewed it too, so here we shall concentrate on what’s new in the 8GB version.
This phone picks up from the original N95 design with dimensions of 99 x 53 x 21 mm; the only difference is that the 8GB has put on some weight. It’s gained 8g over its predecessor to tilt the scales at 128g. The form factor is largely unchanged, but the screen has been made fractionally larger.
The screen now also comes with scratch resistance, which really seems to work. You can use the dual slider design of the phone in much the same fashion. Slide down and it will expose the multimedia buttons, while at the same time changing the screen orientation to landscape.
The other design elements have mostly kept true to mirror the original. You will find the usual assortment of buttons below the screen, with the charging and the USB slot at the bottom. The camera, along with the flash (which now appears below the lens, instead of being beside it like in the N95) can be found at the back.
The stereo speakers are placed at either side of the phone, with dedicated camera buttons on the right of the screen along with the volume/zoom keys. The power button is on top, and the secondary camera just above the screen. As I mentioned earlier, it’s not very different from the N95.
__PAGEBREAK__
The phone comes equipped with everything the N95 had. The ARM 11 332 MHz processor remains unchanged, which is a pity – considering all the value additions this should have been spruced up as well. The result is that the phone is a bit sluggish. In any case, Nokia has compensated by powering the 8GB with a 128 MB SDRAM memory, as against 64 MB in the older version.
