View Specifications


The music is good enough. The phone plays MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+ and WMA, and though I expected it to be loud, it barely lives up to this expectation. Sound quality is good, nevertheless, and manual EQ settings are offered in addition to presets. The video player supports MP4 and 3GP formats. The phone comes with a 3.5mm jack so that you can use your own headphones.
While we're at it, I'd like to express my dislike for the placement of the earphone jack. If you want to keep the phone propped up on any surface to watch a movie etc, you simply cannot do this while the earphones are connected. Since you can’t turn the screen upside down in landscape mode, this is a serious disadvantage.



The N95 8GB has a better battery life than its predecessor and even heavy usage won't leave you high and dry. The phone costs Rs 28,000 which is about 6K more than the N95 classic, mostly because of the increased storage space and additional RAM. Most other things remain the same, so there's no reason not to pick this up. You'll need to accept that the phone can be a bit sluggish though.

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.

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....

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.

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.

price is too high in comparison to quality
ganesh kumar mishra @ Feb 27,2008
seriously, my chinese mobile is damn good with lot of features like touch screen, shake the song/wallpaper, damn good quality camera and spare battery. It's xtra large screen and camera/video can rival any digicam.. 4 speaker output...more over... its a dual sim phone.. price... blieve when I say that I got it for 6k!!!! I see no reason to spend 22k for these phones which gets outdated in 6 months of time....

Well N95 has very few disadvantages ex:no external memory slot,no lens cover ,other than this its great.. I wonder if someone makes custom phones so that our complaining mouths get a rest....!

Raghunath @ Feb 26,2008
I completely agree with umesh D. While all other sites mention that N95 8GB is faster to operate(Due to Increased RAM & Demand Paging), Tech2 does the reverse. I think Tech2 Guys should get some gyan by reading reviews at GSMArena.com & Phonearena.com. N95 8GB is no way sluggish compared to the N95
Kamal @ Feb 26,2008
Nokia sucks!!!!
vaibhav @ Feb 25,2008
I'm surprised to read that N95 8GB is slower than N95 classic because all other reviews mention N95 8GB is faster than N95 unless you have that 8GB memory full or while the media player is scanning the 8GB memory for new media.

I have checked this myself and feel this comment is inappropriate.

No camera lens cover is probably the only negative thing on this phone apart from being a fingerprint magnet because of the black color scheme.

Apart from above, it's probably better than N82 which is again in it's own class being candy bar and with xenon flash.
Umesh D @ Feb 25,2008
confused btween n82 n n95....wats the diff
parag @ Feb 25,2008
