The case is made of brushed stainless steel with piano black plastic accents on the bottom. On the front, there is a D-pad mainly used for navigation with a trigger button in center, accompanied by a set of selection buttons (that can also be assigned shortcuts) and call keys. A camera shortcut and a volume rocker is placed on the right side, with the camera shortcut also functioning as a shutter key. The key design follows a minimalist approach, with bars favored over icons.

A rubberized grip is placed beneath the display for sliding the upper housing. On top, there's a notch containing the video camera, the earpiece grill and the light sensor.

The keypad is illuminated and contains standard keys, as well as a browser and silent mode shortcut.

The overall design is well-received by critics.^[1][2]

The 6500 Slide runs Nokia's S40 5th Edition with Feature Pack 1 (with the latest firmware), being one of the first to come with 5th Edition. The UI is praised by critics for its speed and simplicity.^[1]
