Benefits of the WT5400

The Unbeatable Comfort Only a Purpose-Built Design Can Deliver

Designed from the ground up as a wearable computer, the WT5400 maximizes comfort and productivity in all-day hands-free use cases as an alternative to handheld computers mounted on the wrist. At just over a half inch thick, the low profile makes it easy to reach just about anywhere without obstructions. The low center of gravity makes wearing the WT5400 practically effortless. And with three wrist strap options, you can choose single or double dial wrist straps with micro-adjustments or low-cost Velcro straps. The result? An ideal fit on every arm — any size, right or left, male or female.

Optimal Display Area for Maximum Productivity

Maximize workflow efficiency with the 4.7 inch display. With more than double the touchscreen display area of Zebra's prior generation wearable computer, associates can view and seamlessly interact with all the information they need to get the job done. And even if workers are wearing light gloves, there’s no impact on performance. The result? Less scrolling. Less navigating through application screens. And more work done in every shift.

Built for the Long Run

When it comes to getting the most for your money, the WT5400 delivers, with cutting edge technology that will serve you years into the future. The Qualcomm® QCM4490 platform marries premium connectivity with next generation processing. With Wi-Fi 6E and up to twice the power of the prior generation processor, applications perform flawlessly over rock solid wireless connections. This platform provides a pathway to future Android operating systems, future proofing the WT5400 for Android’s latest features and applications. And the rugged design delivers reliable operation, despite the inevitable everyday bumps, drops and spills.

WT5400 Wearable Computer

Bring comfort and productivity to all-day hands-free retail workflows

If you’re using handheld computers mounted on the wrist for your hands-free workflows because purpose-built wearable devices seem too expensive or bulky, you’re sacrificing productivity. Now you can give your store associates the hands-free freedom and comfort they need to accurately pick more online orders, move inventory from dock to stock faster, re-stock front of store shelves and more with the WT5400 Wearable Computer. The rugged WT5400 is designed from the ground up to be worn on the wrist, providing features that can boost productivity, all at the right price. Innovative ergonomics make wearing the WT5400 practically effortless, virtually eliminating arm fatigue. Versatile wrist straps ensure a custom fit on every arm. The low profile is barely a half inch thick, making it easy to reach into the tightest spaces. And you can choose the cordless wearable scanner that is right for your workflows. Empower your retail workers to get more done every shift with the WT5400 — only from Zebra.

WT5400 Wearable Computer

A Zebra first — a wearable computer purpose-built for retail

A purpose-built design that delivers extreme comfort

This compact and lightweight design was built from the ground up to be worn on the wrist. The low center of gravity provides the balance that substantially reduces arm fatigue. And the low profile makes it easier to reach into tight areas.

Choose the wearing style that suits your workers and your budget

Since the universal wrist mount supports all wrist straps, you can mix and match wrist straps to accommodate user preference and use case requirements.

A single button releases the device from the wrist mount with snap-on and snap-off simplicity — so you can give each worker their own wrist mount and wrist strap to prevent the spread of germs. Choose from cost-effective Velcro straps; a single dial strap that is micro-adjustable, allowing workers to simply turn the knob to find a perfect fit without pressure points; and a new dual dial strap that provides a better grip on the arm and a more refined custom fit.

Effortless battery changes

Changing the battery couldn’t be easier. The specially chosen angle enables workers to remove and replace the battery with the most natural movement — no need to contort the hand or remove the WT5400 from the arm.

Easy access to NFC for instant pairing

Other wearable computers embed the NFC radio in the battery, making it difficult for users to know where to tap. But NFC is integrated right into the WT5400 and clearly marked, so users can easily tap-to-pair a Bluetooth scanner or headset the first time — no guessing involved.


Keep your workers connected and productive with all the right features

View all the information you need, at a glance

With the large, bright 4.7 inch display, everything workers need to complete a task can fit on one screen, so there’s less scrolling, less navigating through application screens — and more work done in every shift.

Increase productivity and comfort in all-day hands-free retail workflows with the Zebra WT5400.

Built-in reliability — day-in and day-out, it just works

The WT5400 is ready to work, all day, every day. It’s drop-proof, tumble-proof, waterproof and dustproof, so you can use it just about anywhere. Since the display is one of the most vulnerable and crucial device features, it’s protected with scratch- and shatter-resistant Corning™ Gorilla™ Glass. And the rugged design is built to last for years, providing an outstanding return on investment.

Make scanning easy with your choice of Bluetooth scanner

The RS2100 is not only the world’s smallest enterprise wearable scanner, its ‘open palm’ design delivers extreme comfort. Need flexibility? The RS5100 offers five interchangeable wearing styles and two scan engine options. Need to scan near — and far? The RS6100 offers an extraordinary scanning range — from near contact to 40 ft (12.2m). Regardless of which Bluetooth wearable scanner you choose, you get the first-time every-time successful capture of virtually every barcode in any condition. And pairing couldn’t be easier — all it takes is a tap on the NFC icon.

Get the fastest and most dependable Wi-Fi connections

Ultra-fast Wi-Fi 6E provides more bandwidth, more capacity and the fastest available connections. And Zebra’s Mobility DNA Wireless Fusion provides advanced Wi-Fi radio hardware and software features that keep on-the-move workers connected and productive, every minute of the workday.

Power every minute of every shift

The standard battery powers a full shift, while the extended battery enables even longer operation. And the blade connectors self-clean with every battery insertion or removal, improving reliability.

Power all your apps with a fast, next generation platform

The next generation Qualcomm™ processor and high memory capacity provide future proofing to support the applications of today and tomorrow. With OS support through Android 17, you can count on access to the latest Android features for years to come. And with Zebra’s LifeGuard™ for Android™ 1, you’re always in charge of when and how to update Android.


Good for business — and the environment

A responsible and sustainable design that’s good for the earth

From manufacturing to packaging, all the way to disposal, the WT5400 is designed for a sustainable life cycle.

These devices are constructed with over 40% post-consumer recycled plastics — and without many major environmental toxins, such as Mercury and PFO/PFOAs. Batteries are easily swappable and replaceable, while battery health insights allow you to replace your battery only when it is needed, reducing waste and unnecessary cost. In addition, the packaging is 90% biodegradable and uses recycled materials. 


Simplify everything about your devices for users and IT with Mobility DNA — only from Zebra

Simplify every stage of device lifecycle with Mobility DNA

This Zebra-only comprehensive collection of applications contains many ready-to-use tools at no cost that make the WT5400 easier to integrate, secure, deploy, manage and use. Make device management easier for IT personnel. Make Zebra devices even easier for workers to use with time-saving features that improve productivity and workflow efficiency. And easily deploy and manage all your Mobility DNA applications with Zebra DNA Cloud.

LifeGuardTM for AndroidTM  1 — your lifetime security guard

Keep your devices secure every day they are in service with LifeGuard for Android. Get the regular and timely OS updates you need to stay on top of emerging security threats, with complete flexibility over the update process: enable automatic zero-touch updates; utilize your EMM to completely control every aspect of the update process or manually update your devices — no EMM required via Zebra’s Stage Now Mobility DNA tool. Only migrate to new versions when you’re ready, ensuring that you always have ample time to test your apps and make any required updates — before migration.
