Faster. Smarter. More rugged. More sustainable. More secure. And a feature set that keeps pace with evolving business needs.
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.
A future-proof platform
Enhanced Durability
These dustproof, waterproof, drop-proof and tumble-proof devices deliver the reliable performance your workers need to ensure maximum workforce productivity and return on investment.
Crystal Clear Audio
Workers can easily hear every word on every call with comprehensive voice features, including three integrated microphones, two speakers, support for wireless and wired headsets and AI neural network-based noise suppression for superior intelligibility.
The Most Secure TC5 Series Device Yet
A Secure Element provides the best physical security on a mobile device through a dedicated chip that prevents physical hardware attacks and unauthorized access to sensitive data.
More Processing Power
The new Qualcomm® processor delivers nearly twice the power of the prior generation processor,1 while consuming less power.
Better Multi-tasking
Up 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 Communications
With 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 Display1
The 6-inch 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.
Extended Future Android Support
With support for future versions of AndroidTM, you get the peace of mind that the device you purchase today will support the new features of Android, well into the future.
Zebra’s Most Sustainable Handheld TC5 Series Device
The TC53e, TC53e-RFID and TC58e 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.
Split Second Access to Shared Devices with Identity Guardian
Workers can scan a barcode on their badge and simply look into the device to unlock and provision the device with all the right applications and permissions. No more worrying about shared PINs, where workers store login credentials — or compromised credentials that could provide unauthorized users with access to your network and data.
Unmatched Battery Technology
Get 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.
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
These devices are available for sale for four years, with support available for an additional four years, providing peace of mind that the devices you buy today can serve your mobility needs well into the future.
Do more with more data capture options
Flexible Scanning Options
Different use cases require different scanners. To capture high volumes of barcodes, photos and documents indoors, choose the SE4720. To capture barcodes, photos and documents indoors and outside — even in bright sunlight — choose the SE4770. Need a flexible scan range? 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 the front of the store and high up on a warehouse shelf. And all options deliver split-second first time capture of virtually every barcode, regardless of condition.
The power of Integrated UHF RFID (TC53e-RFID only)
Integrated RFID opens up a world of possibilities with the right short read range — 3.9 ft./1.2 m. 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 Cameras
The rear-facing 16 MP color rear camera captures richly detailed photos — ideal for documenting damaged items to proof of delivery. The 8 MP front facing camera enables video calls for the on-the-spot collaboration needed to get the job done.
A world of solutions to do more with your devices
Locate Lost Devices
The BLE battery works hand-in-hand with Device Tracker to enable lost or misplaced devices to be located quickly and easily — whether the device is powered on or off because the battery is depleted.
Add New Capabilities with Mobility DNA
Simplify every aspect of owning Zebra mobile devices with Mobility DNA, a comprehensive collection of applications that contain many no-cost tools. Make device management easier for IT personnel. Give workers time-saving features that improve productivity and workflow efficiency by making Zebra devices even easier to use. And Zebra DNA Cloud makes it easy to deploy and manage all of your Mobility DNA tools.
Add New Functionality with Zebra’s Proven Solutions
Enable mobile payment in record time with Zebra Pay — all certifications are included. Turn these devices into a mobile-driven workstation or a complete POS with Workstation Connect and a Connect Cradle. With Workcloud Communications, you can turn the TC53e/TC53e-RFID/TC58e into a two-way radio that works over Wi-Fi and cellular networks — and a PBX handset with a custom interface that makes it easy to execute even the most complex telephony features.
