The Nokia N950 is a developers' phone for Linux MeeGo software and Nokia N9 development. It is distributed by the manufacturer to developers and is very rarely offered normally to the open market as a consumer device, usually by developers who decided to use Nokia N9 for development purposes.

N950 hardware specification [edit]

The Nokia N950 phone uses the same hardware components as the Nokia N9 phone with the following exceptions:^[1]

N950 is physically larger and is made out of aluminum, whereas the Nokia N9 has a polycarbonate unibody.
N950 has a physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The Nokia N9 is a touchscreen-only device.
N950 has partial support for landscape mode. Nokia N9 were mostly used in portrait mode at the beginning, but this was changed after N9 display keyboard improvements with MeeGo Harmattan updates.
N950 has a 4" TFT LCD display whereas the Nokia N9 has a 3.9" AMOLED display. Display resolution and aspect ratio are the same on both devices (854x480).
The N950's physical camera module is different from the Nokia N9. Both camera modules have similar image quality (Carl Zeiss branding in the Nokia N9) and both modules support 8Mpix image mode.
In the N950, the front facing camera is in the top right corner, while on the Nokia N9 it is in the bottom right corner. The actual camera module is the same.
N950 does not have support for Near Field Communication (NFC)
The Nokia N9 has a slightly more sensitive magnetometer and ambient light sensor (ALS)
N950 has a 1320mAh battery, the Nokia N9 has a 1450mAh battery
The Nokia N9's MeeGo Harmattan software can be updated over-the-air (OTA), but there's no such function in the N950 as it is a MeeGo developer's phone.
