Nokia N93i is a legitimate and the only heiress of the mighty mobile phone Nokia N93.
It seems that developers did the fans a favor and reduced the size of this “hero”. In addition, they have made it more stylish, using the mirror faceplate.
Design and keyboard
From a first glance differences between N93i and N93 are visible. First of all keyboard has undergone changes, it has become flatter. I immediately remembered TONKOMOTO, however, it is clear that for the sake of reducing the thickness of the shell the manufacturer has made some sacrifice.
I must confess that convenience is not added, and vice versa – it has been dramatically reduced.
To quickly dial a number you should be a very clever man, otherwise you will be mistaken. In addition, the flat navigation button often brings in games such as arcade-shooter. You need to make a maneuver to evade enemy missiles carrying the death, and then … your finger hits the key “Menu”. Most often this happens in the most crucial moment.
Of course, you can easily go back, but the sediment from a failed mission remains.
At the ends are placed cover up for pop-connector and a slot for memory cards. I must say that now they are made of plastic instead of rubber and foul in their places, as the previous model.
However, the changes are purely cosmetic, but it in some way makes the device more convenient.
Displays
Unlike N93, Nokia N93i has a new external display. This is OLED, displaying 65 thousand colors, but it is almost monochrome.
Images can be seen well even on the reflective surface. Information is readable on a sunny day, unless the mirror surface begins flashing. At the service displays quite standard information. This time, signal is strengthened and battery level, painted with an elegant curve. Of course, in case of an incoming call screen displays the name and number, as well as the image of a shaking phone.
The internal display with a resolution of 240×320 looks like something brighter than the analogue in N93.
Under direct sunlight the brightness was not enough and images were “fading”. Just at hand was Sony Ericsson K810, on the display of which the information could be read much better.
Camera
As it is known, camera is the main advantage of N93i. Otherwise why it is equipped with such a big lens, a rotating display, optics by Carl Zeiss? Since the entire filling remained unchanged, then expecting some difference in picture quality is senseless, but … it is only at first glance.
Based on our own feelings I can tell you that the speed and ease of control during the shooting have not been changed.
Personally, I do not like the delay somewhere between the shutter and recording in memory of the finished picture. In other words, if you took a photo of a child fidget, then 50% of marriage is guaranteed. The quality of images is slightly worse, because of the lack of sharpness. It is not too noticeable, but if you look closely … Shooting with flash is a strange occupation.
Personally, I thought that clips shot with the help of this novelty are slightly worse. The colors are not very natural. Honestly, I do not like to shoot video with a phone camera, but I liked shooting quality of N93.
There is a cable to connect the phone to the TV. For example, video is easier to watch on the big screen. Image quality of course depends on the skill of the operator, but in general – successful commercials look good.
Additional functions
As in N93, this novelty supports Wi-Fi. I confess that I quickly connected N93i with known Wi-Fi-points. Sometimes the indicator simply indicates a low signal, and at that time quite ancient notebook Dell, worked for a sweet soul, with the level of 80-85%.
Download speed of a 4,5 MB file via Bluetooth is 52-58 kB / s, which is rather good.
Player gives juicy sound; the headset has quite decent quality. It can run in the background. Radio works without problems: in the city it is caught well enough, in the suburbs – a little worse.
Conclusion
Nokia N93i is a funny, somewhere even a status phone. Having such a phone people will immediately begin to respect you as this is an expensive, fancy “device”, and in its segment it is even better. If you already own N93, then there is no need to trade for a letter “i”, because you will not get anything new, but money will be certainly saved.
