Expert Review

Review Details

This was the flagship of the N-Series before the N97 that is yet to debut. It has a nice glossy finish that is a lot longer lasting than the faux rubber finish on the N95 8 GB. We feel this new finish by Nokia, although a little garish (to some) is definitely a positive move in terms of  longevity. The device is slimmer than the N95 8 GB but to its discredit it has a smaller battery rated at 950 mAh opposed to 1200 mAh. With 16 GB of in-built memory and support for more memory via microSD expansion, the N96 can lug quite a bit of data around. The menu button is large but a little hard to press. The call buttons are well placed although not as well placed as the N95 8 GBs buttons.



The rest of the menu buttons are cramped, unlike the N95 8 GB — we really feel Nokia missed out on a few tricks here. Having the multimedia buttons on the front facia (around  the joypad) as well as on the dualslider may seem a redundancy but in reality this works well. Note that all the buttons on the  front facia (except for the joypad and the call buttons) are flush fit with the body and not delineated, therefore it’s only the backlighting that highlights them. The inner  keypad is devoid of bevelling — not good for SMS junkies, the older N95’s keypad was well-sculpted for typing longer messages. Key feedback is really good however, and the keys are large and wellspaced, meaning usability is not totally problematic.

The slider on the N96 seems a lot more robust than its predecessor and doesn’t seem to develop the slight play that the N95 did. Voice  clarity in-call is very good andthis phone does superbly in all the call and signal strength tests. The loudspeaker is really loud and quite clear, and the handsfree unit too can be easily heard even at 80 per cent of maximum volume. In fact, the quality of music playback is also very good, and with a 3.5-mm jack the N96 can use any headphones available. The camera also provides top-class images with a little fiddling to the settings.
