Nokia N95 review

N95 Nokia picture If you want a phone that is good at everything, choosing a top-of-the-range Nokia S60 smartphone has always been a surefire bet. These are phones that tick all the boxes, continually win all the awards, and that allow you to get all the latest technology without compromise. Nokia knows how to put a phone together. Pick up the N95 and you simply won't believe that so much technology has been squeezed into such a light, palm-friendly device. Nokia has embraced a two-way sliding design that lets you push the screen up and let your fingers roam over a nicely textured keypad, or slide it down to reveal a fashionably touch-sensitive suite of media-player controls. This also switches the N95's stunning 66mm (2.6-inch) screen into landscape mode and activates its new 3D multimedia menu - more of which later. Despite the addition of the 2.6-inch, 16-million-colour 320 x 240-pixel screen (and the Sat Nav aerial) the N95 is surprisingly not much bigger than the N80. It is very slightly longer and wider, but compensates this by shaving a little on the depth. This is no super-slim handset, but for a fully-accessorised 3G phone with such a powered up palmtop computer onboard, you can't help but be impressed by the 120g weight.

The MP3 player not only benefits from the bespoke buttons, but also from a healthy onboard memory. There is 160MB of storage out of the box, before adding MicroSD cards that slot into a hot-swappable slot on the side ,which can increase capacity by up to 2GB apiece.

As you would expect from a top camera phone, you get a host of effects that include Scene modes (close-ups, portrait, landscapes, sports, nights etc), Flash (auto, red-eye reduction), Self timer, Sequence mode, Exposure compensation, White balance, Colour tone, ISO Light sensitivity and Contrast and Sharpness settings. The N95 shoots in 2592x1944-pixels and pictures viewed on your PC at 100% do show the camera’s processing handicap. However, most of us print photos at 4x6-inch size and at this level the picture quality shows a good level of detail, strong contrast and exceptional colour tones. Despite the five megapixels, Carl Zeiss-built lens and a CMOS sensor, the Nokia N95 does process images with some artefacting, compression and sharpening noise. The sat-nav is better for walking than driving -- if you cover a lot of miles in the car, a dedicated sat-nav unit like the TomTom One still makes the most sense. It'll be louder, faster, able to access speed-camera info and should actually be able to search for destinations. Similarly, a neat little Fujifilm Z5 camera offers image quality and flexibility that the N95 simply can't match.
