Last week, Zebra released what I consider to be a truly revolutionary device: the Zebra TC22/TC27 mobile computer.
The handheld computers in Zebra’s TC2x have been impressive from the start, but this latest addition to the series is what I have been waiting for. I often speak with small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) that need more robust features, but the price tag has been out of their reach. So, if you’re operating with a limited budget but have a need for advanced features, this device was made for YOU.
Whether you’re in retail , hospitality, warehousing , field service , or entertainment, we can all agree — there’s no time for downtime. A number of the features in the Zebra TC22/TC27 are worth calling out since I believe that they can really empower some competitive advantages related to productivity and performance.
Higher productivity rates for staff
- Work faster with lightning-fast next-generation processor
- Count on first-time barcode capture with an integrated scan engine
- Built for long shifts, with long battery life and ability to charge from 0-80% in less than 80 minutes
Lower rates of breaks and fixes
- 6″ display, that’s crystal-clear even in bright sunlight
- Operates in temperatures from -10C to +50C
- Secure sealing (IP68) to protect it from dust and water
- Withstands drops and tumbles onto tile over concrete
Hybrid point of sale (POS)
- Enterprise-grade manageability without the IT complexity
- Complete more transactions with high-speed connectivity (5G, Wi-Fi 6E, and private 5G)
- Built-in support for Apple VAS and Google Smart Tap make validating tickets, membership cards, or boarding passes quick and easy
In sum, the TC22/TC27 is like having the smartphone-style device you’ve always wanted, but equipped with all the features any business could need. And the best part? It’s all available at a price that won’t break the bank.
