The Nokia N950 has been made official. It’s meant to be a phone for developers and probably won’t be released to the public. Surely it will get out and you’ll find the N950 on Ebay and Craiglist – and I’m sure the price will be steep. On a Nokia developer page some N950 specs have been posted to compare it to the Nokia N9.
Nokia N9 vs. N950
Nokia N950 phone uses same hardware components as the Nokia N9 phone with the following exceptions:
N950 is physically larger and is made out of aluminum, whereas N9 has a polycarbonate unibody.
N950 has a physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The N9 is a touchscreen -only device.
N950 has a 4” TFT LCD display whereas N9 has 3.9” AMOLED display. Display resolution is same on both devices (854×480). Due to the use of different display technologies, developers should avoid one pixel with fonts and graphical objects with lines one pixel wide. Also avoid the extensive use of bright colors, especially white, when developing for OLED displays as this increases the power consumption (typical for OLED displays).
N950 has a different physical camera module than N9. Both camera modules have very similar image quality (Carl Zeiss branding in N9) and both modules support 8Mpix image mode. In the N950 the front facing camera is in top right corner and on N9 it is in the bottom right corner. The actual camera module is same.
N950 supports Bluetooth version 2.1+EDR, whereas N9 supports version 4.0
N950 does not have support for NFC
N9 has slightly more sensitive magnetometer and ALS
N950 has 1320mAh battery, the N9 has 1450mAh battery.
As you can see the N950 is missing quite a few things. The N9 is more consumer-oriented in the long run. I would love to see a N9 version with a qwerty keyboard sometime down the road.
