Overview

The Zebra TC27 (WCMTA-T27B8CBD8-NA) is a 5G Android mobile computer with Zebra's SE55 1D/2D Advanced Range scan engine and IntelliFocus technology. It reads barcodes in hand or on the highest warehouse shelf. This North America build includes 8 GB RAM and 128 GB flash, a 6 in. Full HD+ display and a 3800 mAh BLE battery. It also has an 8-pin rear connector, NFC tap-to-pay, and a Nano SIM plus eSIM.

  • SE55 1D/2D Advanced Range scan engine with IntelliFocus technology
  • 5G NR Sub-6 (NSA/SA), Gigabit LTE-A and VoLTE with 1 Nano SIM + 1 eSIM, plus private 5G and CBRS support (US only)
  • 8 GB RAM / 128 GB UFS flash on a Qualcomm 5430 hex-core 2.1 GHz CPU, microSD up to 2 TB
  • 3800 mAh / 14.63 Wh removable BLE battery with secondary BLE beaconing
  • 6.0 in. FHD+ (1080 x 2160) 450-nit display with Corning Gorilla Glass
  • NFC contactless payment support, Apple VAS and Google Smart Tap certified; RFD40/RFD90 RFID sled support
  • IP68/IP65 sealing and MIL-STD-810H drop testing; 8-pin rear connector
  • Scan items in hand and labels on top warehouse shelves with one device, without a ladder

The Zebra TC27 is the 5G model of Zebra's third-generation TC2x Series and replaces the TC26. SKU WCMTA-T27B8CBD8-NA is the top scanning configuration for North America. It carries the SE55 1D/2D Advanced Range scan engine with IntelliFocus technology, which Zebra designed to capture barcodes on items in hand or on the highest warehouse shelf. That makes one device workable for both counter tasks and back-room or warehouse picking.

The rest of the build includes: - 8 GB RAM and 128 GB UFS flash, with microSD up to 2 TB - 16 MP rear and 5 MP front cameras - An 8-pin rear connector - Google Mobile Services - A 3800 mAh / 14.63 Wh BLE battery that is user-removable

The battery's secondary BLE beaconing lets a separately licensed Zebra Device Tracker locate missing devices, even when the battery is dead.

For connectivity, the TC27 offers: - 5G NR Sub-6 (NSA and SA), Gigabit LTE-A, VoLTE and dual SIM/dual standby using one Nano SIM and one eSIM - Private 5G and CBRS private LTE (CBRS in the US only) - 2x2 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi 6, with Wi-Fi 6E enabled by the Mobility DNA Enterprise License - Bluetooth 5.2

NFC supports tap-to-pay and is Apple VAS and Google Smart Tap certified. The TC27 also pairs with Zebra RFD40 and RFD90 UHF RFID sleds for inventory work.

A Qualcomm 5430 hex-core 2.1 GHz processor runs a 6.0 in. 1080 x 2160, 450-nit display under Corning Gorilla Glass. The device is sealed to IP68 and IP65, drop-tested to MIL-STD-810H and rated for operation from 14°F to 122°F. Mobility DNA Professional tools are preloaded at no cost.

Ideal for

  • Warehouse picking, receiving, sortation and shelf scanning at height
  • Retail stores combining sales-floor lookups with back-room inventory
  • RFID-assisted inventory counts with an RFD40 or RFD90 sled
  • Direct store delivery and click-and-collect with tap-to-pay
  • Facilities and field service teams needing 5G voice and data plus device locating
