What a Chinese clone of Nokia N95, but it isn’t a slider!


June 11th, 2007 by ketyung


E-PDA V16 and Nokia N95 comparison - front

The Chinese companies are so smart and good at producing clones for those branded gadgets. We’ve seen the Meizu before, which was considered the clone for the iPhone. Now, the Nokia N95 also gets a clone, which is known as the E-PDA V16. As shown in the picture, this Chinese clone has a body that is much longer than the Nokia N95, but it’s not a slider. Obviously, its keypad is located at bottom of the screen, where there are some strange buttons on the sides for navigation. It is actually a touch-screen candybar. Its display is a magnificent 3″ QVGA TFT.


Turn to the back, they look more alike, but the clone seems to carry two speakers, which is the uniqueness shown by Chinese cell phone that gives high volume of ring tone. Its built-in camera is definitely much less powerful than the N95’s, which features only a 3 megapixels, fixed focus and no Carl Zeiss.

It works with stylus, can recognize both Chinese and English handwriting. This cell phone takes three cards, which are two sim cards and one microSD memory card, which means you can have 2 phone numbers on one phone. This is what the N95 can’t provide. Other than this, the clone also carries a high-capacity 1800 mAh battery, which the N95 doesn’t have either. Well, the clone would only cost you less than half of the price of the original N95. So, you want the clone or the original?

  4. N95 gets upgraded with laser pointer, great for presenter… it’s not!- by Gadget, shop online blog of TechChee.com Says:

    […] N95 was once my first choice for changing to a new cellphone this year. Although the final decision that I’ve settled down with a Dopod to replace my old O2, but I’m still pretty interested in how the Nokia N95 has been doing lately and even some of its clones. By the first glance in the picture attached, the phone looks pretty much like an N95? No, it is just another N95’s Chinese clone that has been spotted. Although it isn’t a slider like the real N95, but its overall looking pretty close to the N95. Of course, the clone doesn’t carry great features of the real N95 such as 5 megapixel camera, GPS navigation, WiFi, and 3G connectivity. The clone features a 3″ 260k color QVGA touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, an integrated FM radio, a microSD memory card slot, and a 2 megapixel camera. All these features are packed into a body that measures 118mm x 58mm x 18.6mm and weighs 108 grams. Another thing that is probably hardly found on other branded cellphones is it comes with a laser pointer, which could be useful if you’re a frequent presenter. The clone is very much cheaper, which costs you only $160. […]

    but the main problem with this handset is, as my knoledge, we cant connect this with GPRS, as someone instructed me, that, this will get blocked, as this phone contain illegal version of the OS.

    and if someone can letme knw the apps which i can upload to this, ough,
    also, if i am getting any hardware problem, can i get repaired??

    just share your thoughts, and if someone need any infos, i willing to provide solution, if that, i can.

    considered the 1st generation of n95 clone which
    isnt a slider, there is exist a 2nd generation
    and most shocking 3rd generation which, the 3rd
    generation clone of n95 is 99% similiar as the
    original n95!! take a look at these screenshot:

  43. SURESH Says:

    How durable is the clone N95? Does it really have a 3 mpxl camera? Is it also correct that it has no softwear and games? Can somebody in the know tell me whether it’s a risk buying a clone? I would also like to know the price in Sri Lanka.
    Thanks.

  44. PRASAN Says:

    Has anybody run into serious trouble buying a clone N95? I mean isn’t it worth the price we pay cos it’s not as costly as the original Nokia version? I presume you can use the clone for a couple of years without any critical problems. I feel it’s wrong to condemn it just because it comes from China and is a cheaper (in terms of price) version within reach of the average mobile user. Please tell me whether anybody who has purchased a clone regretted the decision as performance was not up to expectations — of course taking into account the relatively low price paid for it in comparison to the original. Obviously, one caanot expect it to be on par with the original which costs more than US$ 700. Also, whether the user manual of the clone is available in English..

  48. edrus Says:

    my clone n95, is the 3rd generation version. WAP enable, webcam enable,comport available to connect to its PC sync manager. However, have not explore its Universal Remote Control function. Don’t understand how its Fun Manual functions. its handwriting functions o.k. if only all of us who appreciate this hp can have access to any compatible software that support or enhance its existing OS, I SUPPOSE THE ORIGINAL VERSION WILL FACE A STIFF COMPETITION……

  49. n95 cell phone Says:

    The n95 is a very useful phone, however, when buying, make sure to check to see what firmware is on it, and if it’s updated to the newest version, as there have been alot of upgrades to this phone. Just my 0.02 cents!
