Overview

The rugged Wi-Fi TC53e Mobile Computer, an extension of the TC53, offers a unique feature set, new solutions, an extended lifecycle, and premium security features.Constructed with 25% post-consumer recycled plastic and available with the SE4720 1D/2D Scan Engine or the SE55 Advanced Range Scan Engine with IntelliFocus™ technology, the TC53e Mobile Computer offers workers enhanced capabilities, further enhancing its usability and versatility inside the 4 walls.

Introducing the latest addition to the top-selling TC5 Series, the TC53e, TC53e-RFID and TC58e. These devices take their place alongside the TC53 and TC58, building on their feature set to meet the ever-evolving mobility needs of today’s front line workers. Qualcomm’s latest processor and Secure Element support improve power and security. Support for Wi-Fi™ 6E and second generation 5G provide the fastest wireless speeds, improving connection reliability and application performance. Short-range UHF RFID opens up a world of new use cases. Constructed with 25 percent post-consumer recycled plastics, this device is the most sustainable TC5 Series device yet. The TC53e/TC53e-RFID/TC58e — everything your workers need to do business better.

Enhanced DurabilityThese dustproof, waterproof, drop-proof and tumble-proof devices deliver the reliable performance your workers need to ensure maximum workforce productivity and return on investment.
More Processing PowerThe new Qualcomm® processor delivers nearly twice the power of the prior generation processor,1 while consuming less power.
Better Multi-taskingUp to 8 GB RAM and 128 GB Flash, plus support for up to 2TB of onboard storage provides the memory to support virtually any application.
All the Latest Wireless CommunicationsWith 2nd generation 5G, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth® 5.3, you’re investing in a device that offers the latest, fastest and most reliable wireless communications.
A Larger, Higher Resolution Display1The 6-in. FHD+ bright edge-to-edge display provides a richer viewing experience and is easy to see indoors and outside. And the touchscreen works when wet and with gloves. Give your workers the powerhouse they need to maximize efficiency and productivity with the TC53e, TC53e-RFID and TC58e.
Zebra’s Most Sustainable Handheld TC5 Series DeviceThe TC53e, TC53e-RFID and TC58e3 mobile computers are not only good for business — they are good for the environment. These devices are designed and constructed with 25 percent post-consumer recycled plastics — and without many major environmental toxins, such as mercury and PFO/PFOAs. Power consumption is reduced and battery technology is green — batteries are removable and recyclable. Battery statistics provide insight into when batteries are no longer healthy enough to hold a full charge, allowing you to use batteries longer, without risking mobile device downtime. Packaging is 98 percent biodegradable and utilizes recycled materials. And these devices can double as a workstation, PBX handset and two-way radio, reducing the number of devices you need — along with your consumption of plastics and electronics.
Unmatched Battery TechnologyGet full shift power with all four battery options — the standard, BLE and wireless charge 4680 mAh batteries and the extended 7000 mAh battery. And these PowerPrecision+ batteries provide the intelligence to identify batteries that can no longer hold a full charge and more, making battery management simple.
Flexible Scanning OptionsDifferent use cases require different scanners. Capture high volumes of barcodes, photos and documents indoors with the SE4720. Capture barcodes, photos and documents indoors and outside — even in bright sunlight — with the SE4770. Capture barcodes in-hand to over 40 ft/12.2 m away with the SE55 with Intellifocus™ technology — making it easy to scan items in hand and on the top shelf of a warehouse shelf. And all options deliver split-second first time capture of virtually every barcode, regardless of condition.
Increase Versatility with Integrated Short-Range UHF RFID (TC53e-RFID only)Integrated RFID opens up a world of possibilities with the right short read range — 4.0 ft/1.2m. Store associates can easily locate an item, check in seconds to make sure all items in a basket were purchased, read all items in a basket simultaneously at the POS, instantly reconcile incoming shipments and reprogram existing tags on returns and ensure each order is complete. Validate tickets instantly at concerts and sports events. And baggage handlers at the airport can quickly identify bags on a baggage cart.
Get More Details with Higher Resolution Front and Rear CamerasThe rear-facing 16 MP color rear camera captures detailed photos to document damaged items, proof of delivery and more. Place video calls with the 8 MP front facing camera for on-the-spot collaboration needed to get the job done.
