The major feature N85 introduced was an AMOLED display, giving brighter and sharper colours. [2] [3] The N85 has a dual-slider like the Nokia N95 to access either media playback buttons or a numeric keypad, [4] [5] and is about 25% slimmer in size. [3] The upper sliding keys illuminate between four multimedia keys in music or video playback, and two gaming keys during the playing of N-Gage 2.0 games. [6] It also has a Navi wheel like the Nokia N81 which it replaced and bases its design from, as well as a GPS receiver, 5-megapixel camera with dual LED flash, and an FM transmitter. [6]

The N85 was well received as a decent upgrade to the N95, [7] as well as better than the actual flagship, Nokia N96, which cost 100 euros more with few additions and was somewhat critically negative. [8] Compared to the N96, the N85 is thinner and lighter, has a camera lens cover, has a larger battery capacity, USB charging (via the microUSB port), and an AMOLED screen; although without large internal memory or a DVB-H receiver.
