Comparison of Apple iPhone and Nokia N95

Which is better? iPhone or Nokia N95





Apple has the iPhone and Nokia has the N95. Bothe phones were released recently. Both phones provides almost the same features. Nokia an all-in-one multimedia device and iPhone which is a cellular phone, multimedia player, a camera and PDA. I can say that Nokia N95, which was release earlier, is a stiff competitor for the iPhone of Apple.

The Nokia N95 and Apple iPhone
Nokia N95 has silver display, allows to watch videos, take photographs, send emails and call clients all through one device. N95 of Nokia was sold at a much higher price tag than the Apple iPhone, ranging at $700.

Nokia N95 have a unique two-way slide conept. It also offers GPS integration with maps to over 100 countries. Some features can be purchased well of course for additional cost. However, iPhone have much better maps feature integration and more detailed.


One of the best feature of these two phones is the design of it. In Nokia N95, with a two-way slide concept, can switch between two different modes: with numeric keypad on one side, which is common on most ordinary phones, and media keys on the other side. The concept of having the two-way slide is to give protection for the keyboard in which unlike from the iPhone, which gives a revolutionary touch screen interface and a virtual keyboard.

The Nokia N95 allows for both landscape and portrait mode, same thing with the Apple iPhone. However, the Apple iPhone offers a larger display at greater resolution at 320 x 480 pixels in comparison to the Nokia’s 240 x 320 pixels. The Apple iPhone interface is still remarkably more intuitive, elegant, and beautiful than all of its competitors yet the Nokia N95 does offer some competitive alternatives with a mixture of traditional features and increased multimedia capabilities.

Regarding the camera capabilities of the two phones, Nokia N95 is the winner with its 5.0 megapixels camera, which offers greater quality of photographs and higher resolution of videos, unlike with Apple iPhone which has only 2.0 megapixels camera. But, when it comes to photo and video editing, Apple iPhone tops them all in which Nokia N95 doesn't have that feature on the phone. Apple iPhone, enables you to take photos and video and edit them right then and there on your iPhone, and send them off to friends, family, and colleagues by email.

Through the HSDPA networks offering support to WLAN, EDGE, and WCDMA networks, the wireless capability of the Nokia N95 is faster than the 3G. The Nokia N95 also features S60 Software on Symbian OS, allowing for personalization through compatible applications.

Both phones also offer voicemail features, but Apple iPhone offers the unique visual voicemail option.



Battery life span is also a great deal for the two competiting phones. Currently, the battery life of the Nokia N95 is short, antenna is weak and the multimedia player does not have a contrast or brightness control. After improvemes and upgrades are made, this model will be a better option. For Apple iPhone, it has three sensors: an ambient light sensor that prevents waste of battery life and adjusts brightness and contrast of the display; an accelerometer for adjusting between landscape and portrait mode; and a proximity sensor that turns off the display and touchscreen when the iPhone comes closes to the body; as well as three switches that enable sleep/wake, volume up/down, and ringer on/off modes.

The answer for the question on the title still depends on your choice... as for me... i'm still with the Apple iPhone, but for camera capabilities, its with Nokia N95
