Zebra TC22 Mobile Computer

Enterprise Performance in a Smartphone-Style Handheld

The Zebra TC22 is a compact Android mobile computer designed for businesses that need reliable barcode scanning, wireless connectivity and enterprise-grade durability in an easy-to-use handheld device.

Combining the familiar look and feel of a modern smartphone with Zebra's purpose-built business technology, the TC22 is ideal for retail, warehousing, inventory management, hospitality and other environments where employees need fast access to information while on the move.

As the Wi-Fi model in Zebra's TC22/TC27 range, the TC22 is particularly well suited to indoor operations where dependable wireless connectivity and professional barcode capture are essential.

Built for Business

Unlike a standard consumer smartphone, the Zebra TC22 has been designed for everyday commercial use.

Its Qualcomm 5430 hex-core 2.1 GHz processor provides the performance required to run demanding business applications, while configurations with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB flash storage provide plenty of capacity for modern mobile workflows.

A large 6-inch Full HD+ touchscreen gives employees a clear workspace for accessing stock information, completing orders, checking prices and managing inventory.

The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass and offers 450-nit brightness for good visibility across a range of working environments.

Fast 1D and 2D Barcode Scanning

The TC22 can be configured with Zebra's dedicated enterprise barcode scanning technology, providing significantly more capable data capture than relying on a smartphone camera.

Two scan engine options are available:

SE4710 Standard Range 1D/2D Scanner – ideal for everyday barcode scanning in retail, stockrooms and general business applications.

SE55 Advanced Range 1D/2D Scanner with IntelliFocus – designed for applications where workers need to capture barcodes both close-up and at extended distances, making it particularly useful in warehouse environments.

Dedicated scan buttons make frequent barcode capture quick and comfortable throughout the working day.

Wi-Fi 6E Connectivity

Designed primarily for workers operating within Wi-Fi environments, the Zebra TC22 supports Wi-Fi 6E alongside Bluetooth 5.2.

This makes it an excellent choice for warehouses, retail stores, hospitality venues and other facilities with managed wireless networks.

For applications requiring mobile broadband or 5G connectivity outside the workplace, consider the Zebra TC27.

Designed for Tough Working Environments

The TC22 may look like a smartphone, but underneath it is a rugged business device.

It carries IP65 and IP68 sealing to protect against dust and water and is engineered to withstand the knocks and drops associated with everyday commercial use.

With the optional protective boot fitted, the TC22 is tested to survive multiple drops from up to 1.5 metres onto concrete.

Corning Gorilla Glass also protects both the touchscreen and scanner window against scratches and damage.

All-Day Replaceable Battery

The Zebra TC22 uses a removable PowerPrecision rechargeable battery, allowing businesses to replace batteries rather than taking devices out of service while they recharge.

Two main capacities are available:

Standard battery: 3,800mAh / 14.63Wh

Extended battery: 5,200mAh / 20.02Wh

The extended battery is particularly useful for long shifts and demanding warehouse or retail applications.

The Zebra TC22 is suitable for a wide range of mobile business applications, including:

Barcode scanning
Inventory and stock management
Warehouse picking and sorting
Goods receiving
Price checking
Assisted selling
Order fulfilment
Shipment processing
Ticket and membership validation

TC22 or TC27 – Which Do I Need?

The main difference is connectivity.

Choose the Zebra TC22 if your devices will primarily operate within your business premises using Wi-Fi.

Choose the Zebra TC27 if workers also need cellular data connectivity when away from your Wi-Fi network.

For warehouses, shops, stockrooms and other indoor environments with reliable wireless coverage, the TC22 provides an excellent balance between performance, ruggedness and cost.

Why Choose the Zebra TC22?

The Zebra TC22 bridges the gap between consumer smartphones and traditional rugged handheld computers.

Workers get a modern touchscreen device that feels familiar to use, while businesses benefit from professional barcode scanning, replaceable batteries, enterprise wireless connectivity and a significantly more durable design.

For organisations replacing older Zebra TC21 devices, the TC22 provides a natural next-generation upgrade with improved processing performance, a larger display and modern wireless technology.
