Nokia N93 versus the Nokia N93i

As the name of the mobile phone unit implies, the Nokia N93i is simply a redesign or an improvement over its predecessor which is the Nokia N93.  For those who already own the Nokia N93 mobile phone unit, what exactly are these improvements for the Nokia N93i version?

First of all, the Nokia N93i has a sleeker design as compared to its bulkier counterpart. If the Nokia N93 has a D-Pad, the Nokia N93i has a side joystick. The manufacturers of the Nokia N93i also made a few other improvements including a more secure cover for the miniSD card slot, the speaker was relocated to the base unit and a charging LED was placed just under the top of the mirror.

A Closer Look at the Nokia N93i Features

Now that you already have an idea about the improvements made from the Nokia N93 to the Nokia N93i, let us take a closer look at the features of the latter. Starting with the camera, the Nokia N93i is all about picture and video taking.

The 3.2-Megapixel camera of the Nokia N93i has Carl Zeiss optics, 3x optical and 20x digital zoom, as well as video stabilization. N93i is definitely more than enough to take your occasional videos and mobile phone pictures with.

As far as its video and picture-taking capabilities are concerned, the manufacturers tout that the Nokia N93i has the ability to create DVD-like videos at 30 frames per second. This is made possible with the help of MPEG4 technology, which can later on be shared on the phone's 2.4" display.

Design-wise, what makes the Nokia N93i as standout is the fact that the fliptop phone can be turned into a handy camcorder with its "Transformer-style" folding.

How does the Nokia N93i Rate Overall?

If you’re looking for a flexible handset which combines the features of a mobile phone, a digital camera and a video camcorder all in one device, then you'll definitely fall in love with the Nokia N93i.

Yet another plus to its already power-packed features list is the fact that the Nokia N93i has excellent web browsing capabilities. Perhaps the only downside to owning the Nokia N93i is the fact that it has a weak flash – but all the other features that you will get to enjoy with N93i more than makes up for that minor flaw.
