| Resolution | 96 × 65 | 96 × 65 |
| Panel | LCD | LCD |
| Display type | Monochrome graphic LCD, 96 × 65 pixels, maker launch release. Text layout varies with function and font size; no maker-published diagonal or refresh assigned. | Monochrome graphic LCD with blue backlight. GSMchoice gives 96 × 65 pixels for the exact 6310i; GSMArena instead lists 96 × 60. This unresolved source discrepancy is retained; no physical diagonal or pixel density is inferred. |

| Main camera | None | None |
| Ultra wide camera | None | None |
| Telephoto camera | None | None |
| Optical zoom | None | None |
| Main camera | No camera (GSMArena). | No camera; the original NPL-1 maker guide documents the complete controls and feature menus without camera hardware or a camera function. |
| Battery and charging | ||
| Battery | 950 mAh | 1,100 mAh (better) |
| Wireless charging | None | None |
| Battery life detail | Removable BLC-2 Li-ion, 950 mAh (GSMArena and GSMOnline's tested handset). Original guide names BLC-2 but gives no capacity. Maker launch claims up to 4 h 30 min talk and 13 days standby, dependent on network and use. Some regional listings/tests describe BLC-1 instead; no claim that every regional box includes BLC-2. | Removable BPS-2 lithium-polymer pack; 1,100 mAh from GSMchoice and GSMArena exact-model tables, filling a capacity gap in the retrieved maker guide. Maker announcement gives up to six hours talk and seventeen days standby; actual network, use and battery condition affect endurance. |
| Wired charging | Original English issue 3 guide gives approximately 3 h 45 min for BLC-2 with ACP-7. Contemporary reviews quote other timings; maker guide used for this charger example. Proprietary bottom charger socket; no inferred wattage. | Proprietary charger connector. Exact English Issue 3 guide gives approximately one hour forty minutes for a BPS-2 with an ACP-12 charger; this is not a charging-wattage figure. |

| Type | Standard | Standard |
| Weight | 105 g (better) | 111 g |
| Thickness | 21 mm | 17 mm (better) |
| Height × width | 118 × 50 mm | 129 × 47 mm |
| Weight detail | Maker launch specifies 105 g. Dimensions 118 × 42–50 × 18–21 mm (GSMArena, matching contemporary exact-model tests); headline uses the maximum published width and thickness. Shape and fitted cover determine measurements, as GSMOnline qualifies; no sibling-model dimensions substituted. | 111 g in the maker announcement. 129 × 47 × 17 mm and weight with the supplied ultra-slim battery from What Mobile's exact-model review. |
| Colours | Replaceable Xpress-on covers. Archived promotional images show dark blue, red, white and other cover finishes plus Active light-effect, Gaming directional-key and Reactive glow-in-the-dark accessories. Accessory covers alter appearance or keypad geometry, not the handset generation; pictured cover packs do not establish supplied accessories in every region. | Mistral Beige, Jet Black and Lightning Silver in What Mobile's original-model review; fixed covers and a replaceable lower personalisation badge. |
| Buttons | Numeric keypad, two selection keys, up/down scroll keys, call/end keys and top power key, original guide. Optional Gaming cover provides different directional-key geometry; automatic keyguard is supported. | – |
| Software | ||
| Operating system | Proprietary software | Proprietary software |
| Software features | Original guide documents predictive text, SMS and picture messaging, receive-only MMS, polyphonic MIDI sounds, calendar, alarm, stopwatch, countdown timer and screensavers. Maker launch names Kart Racing, Dance 2 Music, Space Impact II, Bumper and Link5, with Club Nokia downloadable game content. No Java (GSMArena); no later 3510i colour display or Java support copied. | Java J2ME/MIDP 1.0 with applications up to 30 kB each, WAP 1.2.1, SMS/picture messaging, predictive text, organiser, wallet, voice commands/dialling/recording, timed profiles and games. Original maker guide permits application downloads via WAP or compatible PC Suite, despite What Mobile's contemporary report that over-the-air downloads were unavailable; guide capability is retained with this version/source discrepancy. Email messages use SMS gateways, not an integrated POP3 client. |
| Release detail | Announced 12 March 2002 with planned second-quarter shipments. Nokia's 18 July 2002 results confirm actual shipping during that quarter in Europe and Asia Pacific, without a first worldwide sale month; year precision retained. Contemporary test predictions of early-June sale are not maker-confirmed first-sale dates. No explicit maker predecessor wording established. | Announced 12 March 2002, with global shipments expected in the second quarter. iXBT's 7 May test describes sales beginning in May, while the UK September review confirms retail availability. First maker-confirmed retail month remains unpublished in the retrieved sources, so only 2002 is recorded. |
| Performance | ||
| Memory | Up to 500 internal names and 14 voice tags, maker launch. Original guide permits multiple numbers and text items per name with shared memory; maximum contacts depend on entry contents. Phonebook and message allocations are not generic handset storage or RAM. | The exact maker guide documents a dynamically shared pool for calendar notes, to-do items, Java applications, WAP bookmarks/cache and wallet notes. Example: 250 calendar notes may occupy most of this pool. Up to 500 phonebook names with associated numbers and text items are supported.

GPRS and HSCSD; exact guide gives HSCSD email transfer up to 28.8 kbps and Internet download up to 43.2 kbps where supported by the network. Compatible software and service subscriptions required. |

| Wi-Fi | No Wi-Fi (GSMArena). | – |
| Bluetooth | No Bluetooth (GSMArena). | Integrated Bluetooth for compatible modem, business-card/calendar exchange and audio accessories, up to ten metres in the exact maker guide. A version number is omitted because the retrieved exact guide does not publish one. |
| USB | – | Optional compatible data cable, infrared and Bluetooth connect the phone to computer software, exact guide. What Mobile identifies the contemporary cable as RS-232 and notes the absence of USB; current software availability is not claimed. |
| Positioning | No satellite positioning (GSMArena). | – |
