Nokia N95 official change log v.12.0.013
Posted in: News | By: Dario Soltani | Date: July 20th, 2007

I just got hold on the OFFICIAL change log for the latest Nokia N95 firmware update, MCU SW v12.0.013. The guys at Symbian-freak digged this up and it seems we’re looking at some major upgrades. Some new features have been added, like the A-GPS I wrote about earlier, but also the new HSDPA (3.5G) indicator on the top left corner, as well as some improvements on the camera software and the previous sharpening bug.

Looking closely, over sharpening halos are not so evident in the new firmware. Also it seems if you took these in auto mode, they have set the lowest ISO as more favorable than before. Hence more detail, less noise reduction and less noise.
