Total Multimedia Phone Nokia N93

Posted by Symbianizer | Filed under Nokia, S60 3rd Edition, Symbian

Nokia N90 was the first auto-focus camera phone for the Finnish company and we were really impressed by it. Now the N93 ups the ante and brings 3x optical zoom in a phone to the masses. Running on the 3rd Edition of the S60 user interface and equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera sensor, the N93 is set to rock the world of mobile phones. As if that’s not enough, the N93 also features TV-out, which you can use to display your pictures and videos on your home TV. Users of the N90 will be glad to know that the N93 has the vibrate function missing from the old N90.

Key features:

• 3 megapixel camera with autofocus and 3x optical zoom
• Video recording in VGA resolution@30fps
• Twist and Shoot clamshell form factor
• Symbian OS 9.1 S60 3rd Edition UI
• miniSD card slot
• Stereo FM radio
• 50 MB internal memory
• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, Infrared, UPnP and TV-out connectivity options
• Rather comfortable keyboard

Main disadvantages:

• Large and heavy
• Picture and video quality not so great
• Optical zoom buzzing gets recorded in videos

The Nokia N93 is a fantastic phone, and apart from the slow camera UI, I really have nothing much to complain about. Although some might be put off by the sheer size and bulk of this behemoth, those who don’t mind it will find the N93 a truly capable imaging phone.

With 3G and WiFi connectivity, the N93 is definitely the all-in-one smartphone to get. I have no qualms in giving this phone a Highly Recommended rating, but if you feel that the price tag is too steep, and you don’t need all the bulk and connectivity, you might want to take a look at the Sony Ericsson K800i or K790i.
