The 3310 is a compact but somewhat heavy (133 g) phone featuring an 84 x 48 monochrome display. It has a lighter 115 g battery variant which has fewer features; for example the 133g battery version has the start-up image of two hands touching while the 115 g version doesn't.

The blue button is the main button for selecting options, with "C" button as a "back" or "undo" button. Up and down buttons are used for navigation purposes. The on/off/profile button is a stiff black button located on the top of the phone. It has a very sturdy design which was big contribution for its success. However, radiation is high with SAR = 0.96 W/kg.
