Key Features
A User Experience in a Class of Its Own
All the Power of Android 10
The best version yet, Android 10 is packed with new features that let workers do business faster, easier and more securely. Instant familiarity with Android virtually eliminates training time and adoption curves. And you can give workers the time-saving intuitive apps they expect.
Maximum Application Performance
Instantly navigate through application screens, thanks to the faster 2.45 GHz processor and new Universal Flash Storage (UFS).
Advanced Higher-Resolution Touchscreen Technology with Full HD
Full HD utilizes the entire 5 inch display, providing more room to view more information. The easy, familiar and flexible multi-touch operation works even when wet, with a gloved finger or a stylus. And the best-in-class outdoor readability screen is easy to read, even in bright sunlight.
An Advanced Scan Engine for the Fastest, Easiest Data Capture
Easily capture 1D and 2D barcodes, labels and documents with the new SE4720 scanner. You get lightning fast barcode capture, maximum motion tolerance — workers can capture barcodes as fast as they can press the scan button; the ability to capture even poor quality, damaged and dirty barcodes. A larger 'sweet spot' makes scanning even easier with point-and-shoot simplicity — and enables the close-up capture of large barcodes. And a wide working range beyond 24 in./60 cm supports more applications.
Full Shift Power Your Workers Can Count On
The PowerPrecision+ high capacity battery delivers an impressive 14 hours of power¹ — plenty for the longest shift. With a two-minute Warm Swap mode, swapping batteries is fast and easy — there's no need to turn off the device or close active apps. And with fast charging, batteries are fully charged and ready to go in record time.
Easily Find Misplaced Devices
An integrated Bluetooth beacon and support for Device Tracker allows users to quickly and easily locate misplaced or missing devices.
All the Latest Technology Advancements
Rich Locationing Support
Enable locationing applications that improve the shopper experience and workforce efficiency — and increase sales — with support for Bluetooth 5.0 BLE and WiFi, as well as Zebra's SmartLens and MotionWorks solutions.
Maximize Productivity with Enterprise Accessories
Backwards compatibility with all TC52/TC57 accessories allows you to cost-effectively upgrade to the latest technology. New accessories help make life even easier for your workers. A new single-slot cradle with Ethernet and USB charges a device and battery — and enables easy device staging and updating. The ShareCradle Workstation provides a new level of flexibility, allowing you to connect a monitor, keyboard, mouse and more to the TC52x/TC57x, creating a workstation on the fly. A new electrical trigger in the attachable gun-style handle enables rapid-fire scanning. And a new stylus works in the rain, snow and more.
Rugged and Ready for the Toughest Business Day
The TC52x/TC57x are engineered for the enterprise. They can withstand drops into water or onto concrete, and can be used in the rain, snow, or dusty areas. Sealing now includes the battery, increasing reliability. The unibody design provides extra impact protection for the sensitive electronics. Corning® Gorilla® Glass provides maximum scratch-resistance and shatter-proofing for the touch panel and imager window.
Support for Leading-Edge Technology Solutions
Support is built-in for the upcoming new generation of payment solutions. The NFC radio was relocated to the top of the device, paving the way for easier tap-to-pay solutions. With support for Zebra's HD4000 head-mounted display, you can drive cutting-edge hands-free directed-action workflows that substantially improve productivity and task accuracy.
More WiFi Range and Speed — with Less Power
2x2 Multiple-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) technology allows access points to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously via pinpoint beamforming, boosting WiFi network capacity, speed and range. Processing is shifted from the mobile device to the access point, extending battery cycle time.
Highest Quality Voice in Its Class
Three microphones, high-volume speakers, and noise-cancellation technology work together to ensure that callers on both ends of every call can hear every word — even in the noisiest areas.
5 MP Front-Facing Camera Supports More Advanced Apps
Video calling improves service and productivity. Customers enjoy a more personal touch, while remote experts can assist with repair to help onsite technicians resolve issues faster and increase first-time-fix rates.
Complete Cellular Network Flexibility with Single Device Simplicity
The TC57x provides workers anywhere in the world with dependable cellular service. Support for carrier aggregation substantially improves application performance by increasing data capacity and speeds. Certification on leading public safety networks provides the connectivity first responders need when networks are overloaded in crisis situations.
Ultra High-Resolution Photos and Videos
The 13 MP color rear camera captures detailed photos and videos for proof-of-condition/delivery/service, onsite support, and more.
Bluetooth 5.0 — 2x Speed, 4x the Range, All with Less Power
Improved data speeds up to 2 Mbps increase application flexibility and performance for Bluetooth peripherals, such as printers and headsets, while Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) reduces power requirements to extend battery cycle times.
