From October 26, 2017, Zebra officially launched a new Android Wi-Fi phone - the TC20. This device does not have cellular phone/mobile data connectivity, it just uses Wi-Fi to connect to the network. This makes TC20 suitable for small-medium sized businesses in the retail, hospitality and small footprint warehousing industries. The TC25 terminal with phone/mobile data connectivity will be launched later.
The TC20 does not replace any existing product in a range of Zebra mobile terminals. It is Zebras' entry into a segment of cheaper smart-devices for small and medium-sized businesses in retail and field services.
The TC20 solution has 4 different product configurations:
- TC20: Integrated SE2100 scanner with no rear facing camera and gray side scanner keys
- TC20 Plus:Integrated SE4710 scanner with rear facing camera and yellow side scanner keys (compatible with trigger handle)
