LOADED WITH ALL THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIESBlazing speed
Run simultaneous demanding applications with virtually instant response times with class-leading processing power, memory and storage. The next generation Qualcomm 6490 octa-core processor delivers 90% more processing power, a 400% faster graphics processor and locationing that is six times more accurate.2 And up to 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB Flash, plus a 2 TB MicroSD card slot provides ample storage for the most data-intensive applications.
More rugged, lighter, thinner — and more ergonomic
Advanced manufacturing and materials technologies enable a more rugged design — without adding weight or thickness. It’s built to handle 10 ft./3.05 m drops to concrete and 2,000 consecutive tumbles. With IP65 and IP68 sealing, it’s dustproof and waterproof — submerge it in water and spray it down with a hose. Corning Gorilla Glass protects the display and imager window with maximum scratch-resistance and shatter-proofing — two of the most crucial and vulnerable features. The advanced industrial design and ergonomics bring superior comfort to practically any size hand, minimizing the effort required to hold and use these devices through exceptional balance, a grip area that is nearly 20% thinner and proper key placement and size.
Industry-leading 6-inch advanced display
More display space means less scrolling. The edge-to-edge display is 28% larger3, easy to view indoors and outside, works when wet and with a stylus or a finger — even with a glove.
All the right battery features and flexibility to stay powered up
Choose from four battery options: standard, extended capacity, wireless charge4 and BLE, enabling device location with Device Tracker — even if the battery is depleted. All batteries are fast charging. The sealed battery compartment enables anywhere, anytime battery changes. Charge it with any standard USB-C charging cable. And PowerPrecision+ battery metrics make it easy to identify and remove unhealthy batteries from your battery pool.
All the latest wireless connections
Give your workers the fastest speeds with Wi-Fi 6E, 5G and CBRS. Wi-Fi 6E is three times faster and supports four times the number of devices, all with less power. 5G brings wired speeds to wireless networks, plus better signal quality and strength. And support for CBRS private LTE networks4 enables cost-effective wireless connectivity in the largest indoor and outdoor facilities.
Superior flexibility with Bluetooth 5.2
Better audio quality improves the experience for callers on both ends of a call. Lower power requirements extend battery cycle times. And enable unique business collaboration solutions — connect one Bluetooth device to multiple host devices simultaneously or connect multiple Bluetooth devices to one host.
High performance scanning for every job
Choose from two scan engines. The SE4770 offers a standard 24 in./60 cm scanning range, a wide field of view and maximum motion tolerance. The SE55 1D/2D Advanced Range scan engine with IntelliFocusTM technology enables the capture of barcodes in hand and as far as 40 ft./12.2 m away5 — without bending down or climbing ladders. The scan button is rated for one million actuations. Both scanners capture barcodes in virtually any condition and lighting. And with Mobility DNA’s Simulscan NG, capture all of the barcodes you need on an item or package with one press of the scan button — and capture and process information on documents, including signatures and barcodes.
Capture ultra-high resolution photos and video intelligence
The 16 MP integrated camera offers the highest resolution in its class. The flash LED generates balanced white light. High Dynamic Range (HDR) captures details even in the lightest and darkest areas of the photo. And with optional Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), it’s easy to capture sharp, detailed photographs to document proof of condition, proof of delivery and more.
Hear every word on every call
Get superior audio quality with three integrated microphones with noise cancellation, two speakers for loudness, a high quality speakerphone and HD Voice, including Super-wideband (SWB), Wideband (WB) and Fullband (FB). And the TC73 and TC78 support wired and Bluetooth wireless headsets.
Add the functionality of additional devices
Calculate accurate parcel dimensions and shipping charges in seconds with Zebra DimensioningTM Certified Mobile Parcel, an industry-first handheld ‘legal for trade’ solution that utilizes the integrated Time of Flight sensor.
Turn your TC73/TC78 into a workstation with Workstation Connect software and the Workstation Connect cradle. Add a lightning fast RFID sled, capable of reading an impressive 1300 tags per second. And turn the TC73/TC78 into a two-way radio that works over Wi-Fi or cellular and a fully-featured PBX handset with a custom interface that makes it easy to execute even the most complex telephony functions.
DRIVE WORKFORCE PRODUCTIVITY AND DEVICE VALUE TO A NEW LEVEL WITH MOBILITY DNA
