Nokia N95 8GB
By: Laiq Qureshi   |   Feb 25, 2008
  • 4
Feature-rich
Good camera
3.5mm earphone jack
Largish screen
Great third-party apps
No lens cover
A bit slow



Browsing is fun with Nokia's proprietary browser, and to a certain extent is preferable over third party browsers like Opera Mini. One problem is that you if you try to access 'heavy' sites, it will show a bad request. Also, the phone will not download any applications or files it does not support.


Like the N95, the 8GB also comes with a built-in GPS receiver that works perfectly well in 8 cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore. It makes use of the Nokia Maps applications, which will require you to load the maps on to your phone. The maps cover over 100 countries. I think this is brilliant!!

Then there’s Zip for opening zipped files, and a silly application called Barcode that's supposed to read barcodes. But it doesn’t work at all well! Like the older version this too comes with a TV-out, and is something worth trying.


The camera is unchanged – it's a 5 megapixel autofocus job, and is one of the best I've seen in a phone. The largish screen makes for an excellent viewfinder. Apart from the auto mode, you can also access scene modes and control exposure settings, much the same way you would on a budget camera.

The pictures are much sharper than the ones taken by some of the 5MP mobile phone cameras I reviewed lately. Color reproduction is brilliant when compared to what you normally get from mobiles. You can forget packing your camera and rely on the N95 8GB instead. The maximum resolution is 2592 x 1944 pixels. The video recorder needs a special mention – the quality is brilliant, so much so that you can actually use it for web purposes with confidence.


All the pictures clicked were quite good, with vibrant colors. There are plenty of manual settings, should you feel like experimenting.

Pradeep Kottappuram @ Oct 05, 2008
N95 with 8GB tilt the scales at 128g really seems find dedicated camera buttons on the right of the screen
mridul kumar @ Oct 05, 2008
N95, Nokia's sense with 128g scratch resistance find dedicated camera buttons it's not very different from the N95.
MRIDUL KUMAR @ Oct 05, 2008
It's incredible to see the phone like N95. It's amazing. The function they provide are too good within cheaper amount.
Pratik @ Oct 05, 2008
It's very huge in size. It is a new generation phone and could have been a sleek looking phone. But it's memory provides better storage for movies and songs. Also the camera is a quite good one. IN OTHER WORDS IT IS A GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY.

gaurav nanda @ Oct 03, 2008
this phone is better for all multimedia uses and navigation
but for this price it must have touch scrren
maulik @ Oct 02, 2008
I like to have a wide screen phone + Flash featured camera, also the memory space offered , it's just carrying a usb hard drive in your hand in a very comfortably manner.

It's cool & have a trendy look . 5 out of 5 .
Narendra Rajput @ Oct 02, 2008
The phone is one of the most amazing one available in the market, the phone is not so sluggish(for those who were using old phones like me). At this price point it is definitely better than the i-Phone 3G. The only problems in the phone are the absence of a lens's cover and it's 3.5mm jack placement because you will have some difficulty while seeing pics. or videos in landscape mode. The solution for this- 1) go buy a descent cover. 2) use an A2DP headset.
ameedul @ Oct 02, 2008

ALEX @ May 23, 2008
i am using the nokia n95 8gb and its a phone that has made me mad about it
its a wonderful phone with a good camera and it is not slow.
aman @ May 19, 2008
Nokia N95, i think, is much slower and gets frquently stuck, specially while in the net. A larger memory card may solve the problem, but overall its slowness is a feature that may just put it back over several others in the N and E series.
Abhisek @ May 05, 2008
hi my name mubeen khot

Balaji J @ Mar 26, 2008
This site always blames SE.But infact SE rocks in music,camera everything.Nokia is crap.Only N73 is good phone.I never go for Nokia handsets even someone gifting me for free of cost.People prefer nokia coz it gives loud sound for showoff and extra features(which hangs phone).But in earphone SE is baap all phones.No one beat SE in Bass.Nokia sounds like old cassete player.Hats off to SE....
Vaibhav @ Mar 12, 2008
i think Vijay is right, hello vijay could u tell me which model u have and from where i can get it in New Delhi under garantee. i dont want to spend 22k.pl also tell if touch screen is interactive like Apple I-phone or not. thanks
sanjeev @ Mar 05, 2008
i think u have missed out on a lot of points and the last point that you have made that there is no reason to pick this phone over the n95 vanilla is very much misrepresented.

Let me list the differences

1. battery: increased to 1200 mAH. A much required boost !

2. Larger screen size: 2.6 inch vs 2.8 inches. Does make a difference

3. Much much needed increase in RAM and demand paging

4.Much better build quality and more robust slider.

5. Assisted GPS, better lock-on times.

6. Dimpled dedicated play pause buttons

7. White LED vs. Blue in the previous model. White looks much better.

Negatives are

1. No lens cover. But the lens or to be precise the glass over the lens cover ( the lens is beneath the glass) is indented and hence not very vulnerable to scratches.
Rajesh @ Feb 29, 2008
Battery life isn't what being written, its is useless phone with battery of less power
Sanjeev Arora @ Feb 29, 2008
N95 8GB IS GOOD PHONE. IT IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ANY OTHER PHONE IN NSERIES, WITH STYLISH LOOK AND 5 MP CAMERA. WHEN I GET SOME MONEY, I WILL BUY IT. THANK YOU NOKIA FOR LAUNCH OF THIS PHONE.
TOM JOHNY @ Feb 28, 2008
I impressed with the features in N95 8 GB, however what would be the best price for new bard
