On March 2007, Finnish multinational communications manufacturer Nokia Corp. released a smartphone named the N95. The original release, however, is sometimes dubbed the N95-1 to set it apart from the revisions that followed the phone's debut. The first revision was called the N95 8GB, named after its 8GB of internal flash memory for storing multimedia content such as music, pictures and ringtones.
Frequency Bands
The Nokia N95 8GB, which runs on the Symbian OS version 9.2 operating system, is classified as a quad-band phone. This is because it operates on four frequency bands. Specifically, the N95 8GB uses the 850, 900, 1,800 and 1,900 megahertz frequency bands of the Extended Global System for Mobile Communications 900 frequency range standard. It also uses the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access 850 and 950 MHz bands.
Audio
The Nokia N95 8GB, with its digital music player, supports four digital audio formats: MP3, M4A, AAC and WMA. Also included is a stereo FM radio, which provides 87.5 to 108 MHz and 76 to 90 MHz frequency bands.
Video and Pictures
For its picture capabilities, the Nokia N95 has a 5-megapixel camera with up to 2,592 by 1,944 pixels in resolution. The picture file formats supported are JPEG and EXIF, and the camera has 5X optical zoom and 20X digital zoom. The N95 8GB camera also has video capabilities, with a MPEG-4 VGA video capture of up to 30 frames per second and a 640-by-480-pixel resolution.
Physical Specs, Power
Sporting a black finish and weighing 4.55 oz., the Nokia N95 8GB is 3.9 inches long, 2.09 inches wide and 0.83 inches deep. Additionally, each phone has a 2.8-inch TFT screen -- an enlargement of the N95-1's 2.6 inches -- with a 240-by-320-pixel resolution and a 16.7-million color display. Included in the N95 8GB's packaging is a travel charger and a 1,200 milliampere-hour battery, which replaced the N95-1's 950 mAh battery. Its maximum talk time and stand-by time is about five hours and 12 days, respectively.
