Nokia N95
The Nokia N95 (N95-1, internally known as RM-159) is a smartphone produced by Nokia as part of their Nseries line of portable devices. It was released in 2007. The N95 runs Symbian OS v9.2, with a S60 3rd Edition user interface. The phone has a two-way sliding mechanism, which can be used to access either media playback buttons or a numeric keypad. It was first released in silver and later on in black, with limited edition quantities in gold and purple.

Nokia N95 Teardown
¶
It should be noted that this model is the N95-1 with the expandable MicroSD card storage.
The N95 was a tough one to crack open since there were more mechanical parts than a traditional smartphone, with dual-sliding modes. This one was totally worth it though, as we were treated to a bevy of ICs, resistors, and the whole lot of circuitry.

Step 2
¶
It’s got three different memory units, one Spansion and two Samsungs, which we’ve made logical guesses as to which processor they served.
It runs an unmarked TI baseband processor and a TI OMAP2420 apps processor.
The dual processor makes for relatively complex circuitry, but the performance capabilities of the N95 really demonstrate the prowess of having an extra applications processor to do the dirty work.

Step 3
¶
The back of the main PCB is shown below. The primary IC diagram can be found here.
The interesting thing about the N95 is that since the screen is on a separate mount, both sides of the PCB can be used. This, however, does cause the device to be a little bulkier than its candybar-form-factored friends.
