The N93i includes a built-in accelerometer much like the Nokia N95. Third-party applications have started to make use of the built in accelerometer including:

N-Gage

The N93i is not an N-Gage 2.0 compatible device unlike other models such as the Nokia N81 and Nokia N95. The N-Gage Application was unreleased for the Nokia N93i. The N93i has a 3D graphics chip. Unlike other models, the N93 and N93i make use of all of the keys on the keypad due to their design, all keys can be used in both landscape and portrait mode, although being a little less accessible.

Due to its incompatibility with the N-Gage application, many of the phone hackers made a modified version of N-Gage which is compatible with Nokia N93i.
