Nokia N 95, the mobile phone born in 2007, which literally invaded the market of those years and which everyone wanted to buy. A phone that has gone down in history for its being technically advanced for the period and above all for its being different with a double slide, both upper and lower, but also for a camera with sense re Zeiss capable of taking quality photos (always for the period). Well HMD Global, today’s new Nokia, would have liked to bring it back some time ago but with a completely new and modern style in full line from smartphones. It has never been released but a video shows us what the idea of Nokia N was like ”modern”.
Nokia N 95: here’s how would have been the smartphone today
Nokia N 95 was a mobile phone which is characterized by its high compactness and its distinctly multimedia-oriented functions: mp3 player, 5MP digital camera , digital video camera with quality recording DVD-Video, mini-PC for office work, calendar, voice recorder, games console, three-axis motion sensors, GPS and VoIP telephony. The display of the N 95 is a 2.6 TFT ?? e 320 x 240 pixel a 16 millions of colors. The phone was equipped with Bluetooth 2.0 connections with EDR, infrared WI-FI b / g up to 54 Mbit / s, UMTS / HSDPA, USB, UPnP and Bluetooth profiles: A2DP (for audio distribution), AVRCP (for remote control of: calls, volume and playback of audio and video), HIDP (for connecting peripherals such as wireless keyboards), FTP (for transferring files over the Internet), SP (for remote synchronization ).
The internal memory was 260 MB , of of which 125 approximately occupied by the operating system, and could be expanded to 16 GB via MicroSD HC (TransFlash) memory cards. The integrated operating system was Symbian 9.2 release 3 series 60 . Internet browsing guaranteed by the browser based on KHTML but it was possible to install alternative browsers, which guaranteed more speed than the integrated one. Battery? Was from 950 mAh while for videos we relied on VGA resolutions from 640 x 480 pixel a 30 fps.
HMD Global decided to try to design a new Nokia N 95 that took the good that had been done in 2007 bringing it to the present day and making it a real smartphone. Here is the new Nokia N 95 taken back in the hands of Mr. Mobile, better known also as Michael Fisher . The smartphone would later have a very particular photographic module with a circular shape but above all with a removable ring and capable of being effective as a tripod for watching videos or taking photos. At the front there was a sliding mechanism that allowed you to discover the front camera but also the audio speakers in addition to the LED flash. Display, unfortunately not active, important for its size just like current smartphones.
Would it have been a success? We cannot know since HMG Global decided never to bring it to market. Certainly the nostalgia effect could have captured the attention of the public even if of the old Nokia N 95 perhaps only the name would have remained and little else. Would you like it?
